Exercise Physiology clinics

We offer practical exercise advice and programs that will equip you with the skills to maintain appropriate exercise habits, long term.

Our service is tailored to suit your individual needs and preferences, and is designed to be performed by you from home or within an exercise training facility.

Please wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing and suitable footwear to your appointment, and bring any relevant medical information with you such as specialist or x-ray reports (not films).
