Exercise Physiology

We have an accredited exercise physiologist (AEP), Suzzanne Thurlow, on staff at Peak Performance Sports Physiotherapy. AEPs use an "Exercise is Medicine" approach to providing treatment in the form of exercise.  Like our physiotherapy services, your consultation will involve an evidence-based biopsychosocial treatment model.

AEPs combine expert clinical exercise prescription with lifestyle modification exercise, personalised goal setting and personal support to empower you to reach your exercise goals. Our exercise physiologist, Suzzanne, comes to us with a wealth of experience in the exercise-based management of musculoskeletal conditions, cardiac and cancer rehabilitation, falls and balance prevention and diabetes management as well as a wealth of hydrotherapy experience. 

Suzzanne is registered with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) and is available for sessions that are privately funded, rebated private health insurance (with extras cover for exercise physiology), Workcover claims, NDIS and chronic disease management plans.

Reach out to us in the clinic on 07 4639 4249 to find out if seeing an AEP might be the right option for you.

Pilates

Our Pilates groups with our Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Suzzanne, incorporates spring-based machines, the reformer and the trapeze table, to run through a specifically designed self-paced program to aid in the strengthening of core muscles or as a rehabilitation tool after an injury.

Please note these are not claimable through your health fund.

From April 1st 2019, a number of natural therapies were no longer able to attract a health fund rebate. The changes mean that solely Pilates based group exercise programs will not be eligible for health fund rebates.
