What is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise Physiology is an Exercise Therapy that can assist with pain prevention and management, relieve stress, improve sleep, combat depression and improve your general wellbeing.
At Nu Health Clinic, we partner with exercise physiologists work closely in conjunction with our physiotherapists, dietitians and occupational therapists.
Exercise physiologists are much more than just a personal trainer at the gym. Exercise physiologists study at university and have a wide range of knowledge about the human body and the benefit that exercise has on it, both mentally and physically.
Exercise Rehab’s purpose-built gym in Hurstville is perfect for conducting exercise physiology sessions, however we also provide the convenience of home visits for those who are unable to travel to us.
All of our exercise physiologists are accredited exercise physiologists (AEPs) and are members of Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA).
