FAQs
The study of how the body responds to physical activity is known as Exercise Physiology. Through a study of Exercise Physiology, you can improve fitness, manage your chronic health problems better and prevent injuries. Its study and practice can also help improve your overall health by tailoring exercise programs to your specific health needs.
Under the ambit of NDIS, people aged under 65 with permanent and significant disabilities, which include physical, neurological, intellectual, or psychosocial conditions, can have access to Exercise Physiology services. These services are generally funded under the “Improved Health and Wellbeing” or “Improved Daily Living Skills” categories of a participant’s plan.
Under NDIS, a referral is not needed to consult an exercise physiologist. However, if you have a supporting letter from a GP or allied health provider, it can strengthen your case in justifying the need for availing Exercise Physiology services in your NDIS plan.
For justifying funding under the “Improved Health and Wellbeing” or “Improved Daily Living Skills” categories, a supporting letter from a GP or allied health provider can be particularly helpful.
Exercise Physiology can help manage a wide range of conditions, including chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, neurological disorders like stroke and Parkinson’s, and musculoskeletal problems like arthritis, as well as recovery from injury. Exercise Physiology also facilitates improving mobility and managing disability-related health challenges.
Exercise Physiology would be an effective option to explore for managing a chronic health issue, recovering from an injury, or simply improving your mobility and overall health.
Don’t expect anything more than a thorough assessment of your health, fitness, and any other specific physical concerns in your first Exercise Physiology session. The exercise physiologist will discuss with you about your fitness goals and develop a personalised plan to help you improve your health safely and effectively.
Your individual fitness goals and needs should determine the frequency of your Exercise Physiology sessions. Generally, the frequency of Exercise Physiology sessions ranges from once a week to once a month.
One can use NDIS funding for Exercise Physiology services, provided they are deemed reasonable and necessary for one’s disability-related needs. These services are generally funded under the “Improved Health and Wellbeing” or “Improved Daily Living Skills” categories of your NDIS plan.
However, it is always advisable to consult with your NDIS planner or support coordinator to be sure that Exercise Physiology aligns with your fitness goals and is appropriately included in your plan.
It is advisable to wear comfortable, breathable clothing and supportive shoes during Exercise Physiology sessions, which can facilitate your movement during these sessions.
