Why is exercise so effective for disability management?

​

Regular exercise is an essential component of healthy daily living for everyone, at all stages of life. Individually prescribed regular exercise including resistance training, cardiovascular training and appropriate balance training can be especially important for individuals living with disabilities, to optimise their quality of life, increase physical function and reduce the impact the disability may have over an individual. Additionally, exercise interventions have shown to increase self-confidence, social skills and perceived self-worth, all associated with improved health outcomes. 

​

Individuals living with disabilities may experience significant barriers to achieving regular and appropriate exercise goals, using the assistance of an Exercise Physiologist is one of the best ways to start your exercise journey!

​

Accredited Exercise Physiologists can also assist as a part of a disability support team by not only prescribing individual exercise routines, but also by addressing biopsychosocial factors, behaviours and supporting adaptive attitudes, values and beliefs toward movement and physical activity, while also optimising physical function and health.

​

We provide the above in a supportive and inclusive environment, allowing us to facilitate the development of independence and self confidence, so NDIS participants may engage in meaningful choices and reach their physical, social and community participation goals.

​

Your Accredited Exercise Physiologist is the best person to talk to in Australia when looking at exploring exercise as an option for disability management.
