What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise physiology is the clinical use of movement to treat injury and manage chronic conditions. At MoveMed, accredited exercise physiologists assess your body, then prescribe safe, evidence-based exercise to reduce pain, build strength and restore function.

Specialists in treating

MoveMed’s accredited exercise physiologists treat a wide range of conditions across six clinical areas — from cardiovascular and neurological to musculoskeletal, chronic pain, cancer and metabolic health.

Chronic pain

Exercise treats chronic pain by releasing endorphins (your body's natural painkillers), reducing inflammation, and lubricating joints.

Joint & post-surgical rehab

Exercise pre and post-surgery builds strength and speeds up revovery and prevents blood clots.

Neurological conditions

Exercise for neurological conditions (e.g., Stroke, Parkinson's, MS) retrains the brain's communication with the body, boosting motor control, strength, and balance.

Falls & balance

Falls prevention relies on consistent strength and balance training. One bad fall can be catastrophic.

Diabetes & metabolic health

Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and makes your muscles absorb blood sugar without needing insulin.

Cardiac & pulmonary

Exercise helps your body use oxygen better. It strengthens your heart muscle, lowers blood pressure, and clears your blood vessels.

No referral needed

You can book directly — no GP referral required to get started.

Bulk-billing available
