EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
-----
Why would you choose an Exercise Physiologist instead of a Personal Trainer?
While some Ex Phys' can also be Personal Trainers... but they're job as an Ex Phys isn't simply to get you fit... or help you lose weight.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are 4-year university qualified allied health professionals who specialise in the delivery of exercise, lifestyle and behavioural modification programs for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and injuries.
AEPs also provide physical activity and behaviour change support for clients with conditions such as; cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, cancer, arthritis, COPD and many more.
So, your Exercise Physiologist is looking at overall physical health with treatments and activities tailored to suit your personal needs, sometimes working with our Podiatrists, Nutritionist and Physios toward a total outcome.
Exercise physiologists are understand the effect that exercise has on the musculoskeletal system, the cardiovascular and the endocrine (gland and hormone) systems.
They can prescribe a course of exercises for either fitness or rehabilitation, as well as advise on behavioral modification programs and encourage development of healthy habits to help manage medical condition.
Exercise Physiology services are claimable on private health insurance as well as Medicare, DVA, TAC and Workcover.
What can I expect from my Exercise Physiology session?
Initially the Exercise Physiologist will ask about your medical history, including chronic injuries or conditions you may have.
They will also ask you about your current exercise routine and any goals you may have - these may be related to a specific injury or just a lifestyle related goals.
They will then conduct a basic movement screen, looking at how your body is moving. This allows them to prescribe exercises that will benefit you specifically.
What’s the difference between an AEP and Personal Trainer?
An individual can become a Personal Trainer in a matter of days and up to several months, depending on the course they choose, while an Exercise Phys will need to study for 4 years at University including more than 500 hours of supervised placement in a work environment.
Exercise Physiologists specialise in graded exercise therapy and lifestyle interventions for people at risk of developing, or with, existing chronic conditions and complex medical conditions and injuries.... while Personal Trainers tend to specialise in delivery of fitness programs for apparently healthy populations.
Re-training your body to work more effectively. That’s what our exercise classes are about.
Revive has introduced a supervised exercise programme designed specifically to assist people with recovering from injury; returning to full activity and maintaining active function.
Classes are highly specialised offering participants a graded active rehabilitation exercise system, with individualised programs to suit all ages and levels of fitness delivered by highly trained and skilled professionals.
The focus is on rebuilding strength and core stability, improving posture and patterns of movement.
Return to your favourite activities, work and sport and move with confidence and control.
Participants undergo a comprehensive assessment of their injury including their strength, movement patterns and posture and by one of our highly skilled physiotherapists.
Once the cause of your injury or discomfort has been established, a highly individualised exercise rehabilitation programme is developed. You will then be taken through your programme by our Exercise Physiologist John Kingston.
For most injuries, it suggested that you attend twice weekly for eight weeks, or as suggested by your physiotherapist.

CLINICAL PILATES
-----
Clinical Pilates is a method of treating injury through exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility, and breathing.
Clinical Pilates (as distinct to more generalised Pilates classes) identifies key areas of weakness and poor patterns of movement and treats this by applying carefully selected exercises to target these problem areas.
Who is it for?
Well, the people who will see the most gains are those with chronic issues - back and neck pain , weakness in a particular movement, but almost all people will benefit from some kind of Pilates. After all, none of us are perfect. It’s just a matter of finding out what’s not quite right, then determining what needs to be done to get to where you want to be.
There’s not much point in doing anything really unless you know what you’re trying to achieve… and why.
Take a more generalised Pilates class for example that are common in gyms… you will likely improve but you’ll get far more benefit, if you know where your weaknesses are and what exercises you need to do to overcome them.
That’s basically the difference between garden-variety Pilates and Clinical Pilates. And that’s why you’d choose a clinic with Physiotherapists and Podiatrists working together to work out what the problem is, as well as choosing who and how to solve it. We are the only one clinic that can offer you this.
Clinical Pilates starts with diagnosing movement fault, because, let’s face it, it doesn’t matter how you get there if you don’t know where you’re going.
We find out where we need to go first, then we map a route.
Amy does your assessment during a one-on-one consult and provides any treatment that may be required.
Initial Consult/treatment is $78;
One-on-one Pilates sessions are $66
As you improve and a routine is established, you’ll move into a group class with up to four people requiring the same kind of progam.
Group Classes are $22 per 1 hour session.
We’d be very happy for you to compare our prices with other clinics. No one offers the same level of service at the same price. Savings are generally between $40 and $100 on comparable, full assessments and consult, and classes will save you around $10 on group classes of up to four people.
No One has better equipment in Tasmania… and no one has newer facilities.
