EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Exercise Physiology Home Visits and Home Care in Mackay
Getting to a clinic isn't always easy. Maybe you don't drive, you're recovering from surgery or illness, you care for someone at home, or you simply feel more comfortable exercising in your own space. Our exercise physiologist can come to you, anywhere in the Mackay region.

Why exercise at home?
Home visits aren't just about convenience. Exercising where you actually live means we can focus on what matters in your day-to-day life:
getting up from your own chair, bed or toilet more easily
managing the steps at your front door or back patio
moving safely around your home and spotting trip hazards
walking confidently in your own street or local park
building a program that uses what you already have at home, with no gym equipment needed.
You'll also have a program to keep doing between visits.

Home visits are commonly used by:
older adults wanting to stay strong, steady and independent at home
people who have had a fall, or are worried about falling
