Exercise Physiology
Providing exercise assessment and program design for injury management or athletes with more diverse needs.
Our exercise physiologists are clinically trained allied health professionals with the knowledge to assess and implement more specialised programs for our athletes as required. Whether the athlete has got an injury they’re recovering from, ongoing health concerns or just require some additional support with their program design, our exercise physiologists can use their knowledge in tandem with the coaches to ensure the very best outcomes. The key principle behind exercise physiology is “exercise is medicine”. Just like a doctor may prescribe medicine if you are unwell, we prescribe exercise to help our athletes lead the active and engaged lifestyle they want.

Exercise Physiology (Ex Phys) FAQs:
What does an initial assessment with an Ex Phys look like?
We will discuss your health history, any concerns that you have, and set some goals for what you would like to achieve at Buddiup. We will then complete some simple tests to understand your activity capacity and develop an exercise program to complete either with on of our coaches or the Ex Phys.
Ex Phys hourly rates are higher than general coaching and training, do I have to see an Ex Phys the whole time?
No! Our exercise physiologists will conduct an initial assessment and then develop a program for you to go through with one of our accredited coaches at Buddiup. This means you can have the benefit of the clinical knowledge for injury management or meeting your diverse requirements with the bonus of being able to see a friendly and highly skilled coach on a frequent basis to complete your program and achieve the goals you set. As you progress, we can schedule in review sessions with our ex phys to update your program so you can continue to progress even further.
