What Our Exercise Physiologists Do
Our Exercise Physiologists are registered with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). Our clinicians hold their own public and professional indemnity insurance, possess current criminal record checks, working with children checks, NDIS worker screening checks and required vaccinations.
Our Exercise Physiologists help people to live better and healthier lives with evidence based and engaging exercise therapy. We focus on helping people to achieve goals that are meaningful for them and ensure that our exercise programs are engaging!
We help people move better and feel better by improving all areas of their physical wellbeing such as their cardiovascular function (heart and lungs), strength, flexibility and balance.
Importantly, the link between physical and mental wellbeing is very clear and our exercise therapy programs are very focused on mental wellbeing and very appropriate for people living with psychosocial, learning and intellectual disabilities.
Who We Support
At Community Therapy we are passionate about supporting older adults and people living with disabilties.
We work alongside approved aged care providers and NDIS providers to ensure timely access to Exercise Physiology services in our clients homes.
We can visit people living in all types of properties and living arrangements, from private homes, units, apartments, retirement villages, disability group homes and residential aged care facilities. We also can see people in the community (pools, beaches, parks and gyms) as we use Exercise Physiology to increase community participation.
Our team love working with people to help them move towards the meaningful goals that they have set and would like to achieve.
Measuring the Effectiveness of Exercise Physiology
Our Exercise Physiologists will always utilise outcome measures to help track someone’s progress towards their meaningful goals.
An example of an outcome measure is the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The BBS is a 14-item objective measure of balance in adults. It is a well-researched and quantifiable way of determining the level of someone’s balance, and also of identifying where deficits in their balance exist. We may use the BBS as an outcome measure for someone that has been falling and also has a meaningful goal of being able to stand whilst showering again.
