Exercise Physiology
Our Exercise Physiologists provide expert support for individuals preparing for or recovering from metabolic (bariatric) surgery, as well as those using pharmacological therapies for weight management.
Our Exercise Physiologists provide expert guidance:
-
Creating tailored exercise programs designed around your individual goals, stage of care, and health needs.
-
Using metabolic assessments to better understand your energy needs and help guide personalised exercise and lifestyle recommendations.
-
Helping maintain muscle mass, build strength, and support recovery throughout your weight management journey.
-
Providing exercise guidance that works alongside weight loss medications to enhance treatment outcomes and overall wellbeing.

Using exercise strategies to help manage side effects, preserve lean tissue, and support sustainable, long-term health outcomes.
Following your initial assessment, we design a program that helps you move toward your goals — safely and confidently. Building your strength and fitness before surgery reduces risk and speeds up recovery. After surgery or while on medication, exercise helps maintain muscle mass, improve energy levels, and boost self-confidence as your body changes.
