In-home exercise physiology in Sydney

What is an exercise physiologist home visit?

Exercise physiology uses prescribed exercise as therapy for health and function. Home visits adapt programmes to the person's space, equipment, and daily routine. This is clinical EP for seniors and chronic conditions, not gym personal training. The comparison with physiotherapy is exercise physiology vs physiotherapy. Which service to start with is physio first, then exercise physiology.

Heart health and cardiac-oriented exercise

EP support for people managing heart conditions when cleared for community exercise. Home-based pacing and functional goals such as walking tolerance and daily tasks. Home sessions support people who have been cleared for community exercise. They sit alongside hospital cardiac rehabilitation.
