It is very true that simple movement, better strength, and improved balance can put a positive effect on your daily routine activities. If you have an NDIS plan, Exercise Physiology can be a valuable support. At OSAN Allied Health in Sydney, we have qualified Exercise Physiologists who will work with you in a way that suits your goals, your health, and your current ability.
Our exercise physiology service has a simple aim. We want you to have better movement, more strength, better balance, and greater independence. We believe that every small achievement has value, and every step forward has a positive place in your life.
To be specific, Exercise Physiology is a health service which primarily puts its focus on movement and exercise as part of better health. It is not about hard workouts or sports performance. It is rather about safe, suitable, and personalised exercise which has a clear purpose.
An Exercise Physiologist has knowledge about many health conditions and physical challenges. They will minutely examine your current ability and create a plan that suits you. Your program may have gentle movement, strength exercises, balance practice, flexibility work, or activities in it which would support better mobility.
It is very true that every person has his/her different goals. Some NDIS participants would like better balance. Some would like more strength for daily tasks. Others perhaps have a goal to walk with greater confidence or to have better endurance for community activities.
Exercise has benefits for many people. It is not only about physical health. Better movement can also have a positive effect on independence and everyday routines.
Our Exercise Physiology service may support you with:
Sometimes, it happens that small daily tasks become difficult. It may be hard to stand for a long time. It may be hard to walk to the local shop. It may be hard to carry household items. With this, a personalised exercise program can be a practical way to support these goals.
At OSAN Allied Health, we believe your goals have real value. We will spend time with you so we have a good understanding of your current ability, your lifestyle, and your future goals.
Your Exercise Physiologist will complete an assessment before any exercise plan has a start. This assessment has an important place because every person has different strengths and different challenges.
After this, you will have a personalised exercise program that suits your needs. It is not a standard program. It has activities that match your own circumstances.
If your goals change, your program can also have changes. This makes your support suitable for every stage of your progress.
Exercise Physiology has value for many health conditions.
You may have support if you have:
Every person has different needs. Some people have one health condition. Others have several health concerns. Our team has experience with many situations, which means your support has a personalised approach.
Many people have concerns before their first appointment. They may think exercise has to be difficult or painful.
Actually, your sessions have a pace that suits you.
Some exercises may have a chair for support. Others may have simple stretches or gentle strength work. If it is for better balance, your Exercise Physiologist will have suitable exercises for this goal. If it is for better walking ability, your program will have activities that support mobility.
Yes, sometimes progress has a slow pace, and that is completely normal. Every improvement has value, even if it seems small at first.
Exercise has greater value if it supports your everyday life.
For example, your goals may have a focus on:
With this approach, your exercise has a clear purpose instead of random activity.
Your health support may have several professionals.
Sometimes, it happens that your Exercise Physiologist works with other allied health professionals so your support has consistency. This may include Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech Pathologists, Behaviour Support Practitioners, support coordinators, carers, and family members.
This team approach has better communication, which can have a positive effect on your overall progress.
At OSAN Allied Health, we believe every person deserves respectful, personalised support.
You will have:
We know that your health goals are very important. That is why we make sure every step we take together produces positive outcome. It does not matter if your goal has better mobility, stronger muscles, greater independence, or better overall health.
If you are a NDIS participant and live in Sydney, our Exercise Physiologist at OSAN Allied Health will be with you throughout your journey.
We have support that suits your goals, your ability, and your lifestyle so you can have greater confidence in everyday life and make the most of your NDIS plan.
