What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise Physiology is a specialised field that uses evidence-based exercise programs to prevent, manage, and treat a variety of health conditions. Unlike general fitness training, our EP services focus on your unique needs, taking into account any medical conditions, injuries, or physical limitations you may have. Whether you're living with a chronic condition, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to enhance your fitness, we create personalized exercise plans to help you move better and live healthier.

What Makes Our EP Services Unique?

Expert Guidance: Our Exercise Physiologists have a four-year university degree, equipping them with the knowledge to work with individuals of all fitness levels and health backgrounds. We go beyond traditional fitness training to provide a holistic approach to health and wellness.

Personalised Programs: We understand that each person is unique. Our team conducts thorough assessments to design individualized exercise programs tailored to your specific goals, whether that’s improving mobility, managing a chronic condition, or increasing strength and endurance.

Safe and Effective: Safety is our priority. Our EPs are trained to create exercise programs that are not only effective but also safe, especially for individuals managing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and more.

Are you interested in Exercise Physiology but still have questions? Find answers to our most common questions here.

Can I get an appointment today?

Our team will do everything they can to provide same-day appointments. If you need urgent treatment, please book online or call our friendly team.

Do you talk to my doctor?

Yes, depending on the type of treatment needed, it may be necessary to coordinate with your physician to provide the best available options.

What if I just want a massage?

We regularly recommend massage treatment to our physiotherapy clients as a follow-up to help with maintenance after recovering from specific injuries; however, you don't need to see one of our physiotherapists first to have treatment by one of our skilled massage therapists. Just book an appointment for a massage!

Can I claim private health insurance rebates?

Yes, and ON THE SPOT! We use the HICAPS system to arrange a direct funds transfer of your rebate.

Are you an NDIS provider?

Yes, we are; however, we are not a registered provider, so we can only accommodate those on the NDIS who are plan-managed or self-managed and seeking physiotherapy or exercise physiology treatment.

Do you accept worker's compensation and CTP claims?

Yes, however, if you are claiming your treatment through an insurance company, it is advisable to see your GP to get a referral to Hastings Physio and Health. If you already have a claim number, please bring this and your insurer's details to your initial appointment.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No. Physiotherapists, exercise physiologists and massage therapists are primary health practitioners. We don't require a referral.

Can I refer my friends and family members who need treatment?

Yes, you can. We love nothing more than word-of-mouth referrals!

I have a referral to another physiotherapy centre. Can I come to Hastings Physio and Health instead?

You sure can. Bring the referral with you to your first session, and we'll let your referring doctor know you've started treatment with us.

How long will my appointment last?

Our appointments usually last for 30-60 minutes. Please allow plenty of time to ensure that you receive a comprehensive assessment and treatment session.

I'm having surgery. Do you provide Post-Operative rehabilitation?

Yes, we do! Our physiotherapists work alongside your surgeons to formulate a customised rehabilitation plan. You can be assured that our therapists will provide optimal support in your post-operative rehabilitation and recovery.
