What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise, prescribed like medicine.

Myth or fact?

"I need to be fit before I start."

Myth. It's never too late. Programs start where you are, even if you haven't exercised in years.

"Exercise can work like medicine."

Fact, for many people. It works alongside your medical care, not instead of it.

"If it hurts, I should stop exercising."

Not necessarily. We adjust the exercise, load or pace so you can keep building safely.

Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals who use tailored, evidence-based exercise to help manage chronic conditions, disability and injury. It goes well beyond the gym: in your living room, at the playground, in the pool, even during screen time.

Real goals, real places: the stairs at home, keeping up with the kids, staying steady on your feet.

Google reviews

Hear it from our clients.

Caroline is an incredibly empathetic and supportive professional, such a relief as I'm not a natural exerciser. She applies her expertise, lived experience, and understanding of my needs to always make sure I'm safe and motivated. I highly recommend Caroline.
Miche5-star Google review ·
Caroline from Greater Health provides professional and supportive exercise physiology services. My sessions were tailored to my goals, helping me manage persistent shoulder pain while improving my confidence to meet my job requirements. Caroline gave me a clear home exercise program, sent digitally and also as a laminated sheet to place on the wall, which made it easy to stay consistent and not forget. The personalised approach and clear communication make a big difference, and I always felt supported and comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend Greater Health.

Getting started

Do I need a referral?

Not always. Private clients and NDIS participants can contact us directly. Medicare, DVA and WorkCover clients need a referral from their GP or case manager.

How do I make a referral for myself or someone I care for?

Choose your funding and fill in a short form on our Refer yourself or a loved one page, or call or email us. You can also ask your support coordinator, case manager or GP to refer you. We'll be in touch within 1 to 2 business days to talk about your goals.

Can my support coordinator refer me?

Yes. Support coordinators, other health professionals, participants and families can all refer through our referral forms. We work with you and your care team so your supports line up with your NDIS goals.

About Exercise Physiology

What's the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a physio?

Both are allied health professionals. Exercise Physiologists specialise in using exercise as treatment, especially for long-term conditions, disability and building strength over time. Physiotherapists often focus on assessing and treating injuries, including hands-on therapy.

What's the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a personal trainer?

A personal trainer is great for general fitness goals. An Accredited Exercise Physiologist is a university-qualified allied health professional who designs safe, specific programs for people with health conditions, disability, injury or other complex needs. Their services can be funded through pathways like the NDIS, Medicare and Support at Home.

What training does an Exercise Physiologist have?

Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals. They're trained to assess how your body works and to prescribe exercise for health conditions, injuries, disability, chronic pain and complex medical needs, taking your health history, symptoms and medications into account.

Pain and health conditions

What health conditions can exercise help with?

Exercise can help manage diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, chronic pain, neurological conditions, mental health conditions and many injuries. We also often help people living with disability, age-related loss of strength and balance, fatigue-related conditions, and people recovering from illness or injury.

Can exercise help with chronic pain?

Often, yes. Resting feels natural when you're sore, but too much inactivity can lead to stiffness and less capacity. We use gentle, gradual exercise to build strength and flexibility without overloading your body, so you can move more freely.

How can an Exercise Physiologist help with chronic pain?

We help you slowly rebuild strength, capacity and confidence with movements that have become painful or hard. That can mean reintroducing certain movements bit by bit, adjusting loads carefully and building up what your body can handle. The goal isn't to push through pain, but to help your body relearn what's safe.

Funding and NDIS

How much does it cost?

It depends on how your care is funded. We'll confirm any costs with you before you start.

Which funding options can I use?

We work with the NDIS, Support at Home, Medicare (with a GP chronic condition management plan), DVA, TAC, WorkCover, private health insurance and private payment. Not sure which applies? We'll help you work it out. See how it can be funded.

Can I use my NDIS funding?

Yes. We're a registered NDIS provider and work with self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed plans.

Sessions

What does mobile Exercise Physiology mean?

It means we come to you. Sessions can happen in your home, at a local gym, in a hydrotherapy pool or in our private studio, depending on your needs and goals.

Where do you travel to?

We mainly visit homes, gyms and pools across the South East, including Dandenong, Noble Park, Cheltenham, Parkdale, Brandon Park, Glen Waverley, Dingley Village, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Frankston, Seaford, Windsor, Capel Sound and surrounding suburbs. We also have consulting rooms in Dandenong and a private studio in Noble Park. Somewhere else? Get in touch and we'll see if we can come to you.

Do you work with children?

Yes. We work with children and adults. Sessions are tailored to age, development and goals, with a focus on confidence, movement skills and joining in with daily activities.
