An Exercise Physiologist is a university trained allied health professional and uses exercise as a form of treatment to manage acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions through tailored exercise programs.

During an initial assessment, you can anticipate a friendly discussion with an Exercise Physiologist. This conversation will cover various aspects such as your current health status and medical history, any injuries or conditions you may have, your exercise history and preferences and goals.

The assessment will also include physical testing to evaluate factors like range of motion, strength, cardiovascular fitness and/or other relevant parameters. This testing allows an Exercise Physiologist to draw from these results to identify areas for improvement and use exercise as treatment to guide you to a higher level of function.

You will be introduced to the space and equipment to ensure you feel comfortable and confident as you progress through your exercise journey.

The initial assessment serves as a crucial starting point for the Exercise Physiologist to create an exercise plan that aligns with your capabilities.

Whether you have specific work-related considerations or not, the EP will adapt the program to suit your unique circumstances.

No you do not need to have a medical condition or injury to book an appointment at SELF.

SELF semi-private classes are designed to cater to individuals of all fitness levels and abilities regardless of whether you have a medical condition or injury.

In a semi-private class, you can expect to be guided in a small group setting of no more than 3-4 clients. Each session is thoughtfully designed to cater to individual needs and goals, acknowledging that exercise is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

The exercises provided are tailored to your unique ‘self’ and most importantly, taking into account any factors that may arise during the class or your response to certain exercises on a given day. An Exercise Physiologist has experience to accommodate and provide suitable modifications or alternatives as needed throughout your class, ensuring you receive a personalised experience that maximises your progress.

No a referral is not required for private clients. However, clients under Medicare, WorkCover, CTP or DVA will need to obtain a referral before attending an initial assessment.
