Exercise Physiology
Up & Active Accredited Exercise Physiologists are allied health exercise professionals who assess, design and plan exercise programs tailored to the individual. Our team have the knowledge and skills to work with acute, sub-acute and chronic medical conditions, injuries and disabilities.
Classes and Groups
Our group classes are a fun way to improve your fitness and stay accountable to your goals and health needs. Group class benefits include social interaction and cost reduction combined with the leadership and knowledge of an experienced Exercise Physiologist.
Home Visits
Home visits can be arranged for patients who have difficulty accessing the community. We aim to provide services to the wider community to help our patients achieve their rehabilitation goals, access services and provide safe exercise opportunities.
Corporate Assessments
Ideal sitting, standing and working postures can be difficult to attain due to the repetitive or sustained nature of most work and many recreational or home duties. Ergonomic advice forms part of a regular physiotherapy treatment plan. However, Up & Active can also be contacted to conduct formalised workplace ergonomic assessments and training in the workplace, individualised to the business and clients needs.
Using Technology to Improve our Health Services
Up and Active are proud adopters of technology to improve the accuracy of our assessment and treatment and we know this helps to engage and connect with our clients.
Our Exercise Physiologists regularly use force dynamometry tools and AXIT plates to provide accurate strength and movement measures. These are fun and accurate digital measures that can be retested over time to show your progress. This tech allows us to measure activities such as jump height, compare the strength on your left versus your right and track your force generation patterns. We can detect small variations in your performance and accurately prescribe appropriate rehabilitation programs.
We use online programs, such as PhysiApp and VALD which can connect with a phone app to prescribe, monitor and progress your home exercises.
We also are committed to reducing our paper usage with the aid of technology, which includes online registration forms, online outcomes measures and email communication whenever possible. However, we do understand that technology can sometimes be overwhelming so please feel free to ask for traditional paperwork and handouts if required.
