Exercise physiology

If you have an injury, medical condition or disability that could benefit from a program of exercise or activities, Biosymm’s exercise physiologists can help.

At Biosymm, we understand the importance of healthy and pain-free movement and function to maintain our busy independent daily lives.

Our expert exercise physiologists can provide you with a personal program of exercise interventions and activities to support your health, recovery and reduce or manage your pain.

This is not a personal training plan with membership or subscription fees. It’s a tailored exercise plan developed just for you.

 

How can Biosymm’s exercise physiologists help?

Our experienced exercise physiologists can help you achieve better health and fitness by using safe and effective exercise programs.

We work with people who have chronic medical conditions, injuries, or surgeries, and other active people to improve performance.

Exercise physiologists can make exercise accessible and beneficial to your health and recovery regardless of your current fitness level.

Some of the ways our team can help include:

  • Supporting people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity by designing safe and effective exercise programs to improve their health.
  • Helping people recover from injuries and health conditions such as strokes and surgeries by developing rehabilitation exercise programs that promote healing and improve function.
  • Helping people to prevent further injury from falls and support their mental health or better manage depression and anxiety.
  • Supporting sedentary people become more physically active by introducing them to the benefits of regular exercise, helping them set realistic goals, and guiding them through appropriate and safe exercises.
