At Uplift Exercise Physiology, all of our services are completely individualised to each person that we assist. To put together an individualised plan, each of our clients commences by participating in a comprehensive Initial Assessment with their Exercise Physiologist to develop a plan to assist them towards their goals. Following the initial assessment, your Exercise Physiologist will meet you as required to assist you develop your functional capacity, and knowledge to be able to self-manage your health. Usually, sessions in the early weeks are more frequent, and then as you become more confident, our involvement tapers.
Conveniently, we are a completely mobile service so Initial Assessments can be completed at your home, a local gym, a local pool, your workplace (employer willing), or a public place. Follow up consultations can be completed at similar locations, provided they are appropriate based on your goals and requirements. Telehealth consultations are also available and can be completed in the comfort of your own home, or at your workplace.
Our Exercise Physiologists endeavour to complete initial assessments within 3 days of a referral and provide a report to relevant stakeholders within 5 days of a referral i.e. GP/Specialist/Physio/Insurer/Rehabilitation Consultant etc.
The sooner the better! Once you have received a diagnosis from your treating medical professional we are able to help. In acute cases, exercise is usually gentle to accommodate any healing that is taking place, with education playing a prominent role. As your programme continues we will provide you with guidance on the best ways to safely and gradually increase your activity levels to progress you towards your goals.
