At Optimum Exercise Physiology we understand the complexity of Chronic Disease, and therefore provide specialised care for the disease itself, as well as any other related conditions which may occur as a result, along with education on your condition and the effect that exercise has on its treatment.

We prescribe aerobic and resistance exercise in a safe and supportive environment, with the goal of reducing the symptoms and severity of the disease. Our focus is on helping clients achieve better health, independence and quality of life.

​Exercise as a treatment strategy has positive effects on:

• Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2)
• Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Cardiac Disease
• Chronic Pain
• Weight Management
• Fibromyalgia
• Cancer and cancer treatments (Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy)
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Asthma
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
• And many more (see below)

You may be referred by your GP under the Chronic Disease Management Plan/Team Care arrangement which then means you can receive a rebate from Medicare for a predetermined number of services (up to 5 per calendar year).   Book in for a CDM Initial Appointment.

However, you can also access the support of an Exercise Physiologist for your chronic condition privately and you may be eligible for a private health rebate.  If accessing us privately, you do not need a referral from your GP.  Book in for a Private Initial Appointment.
