Exercise Physiology: A Personalised Approach to Enhanced Wellbeing

Our Exercise Physiologists specialise in prescribing safe and effective exercise and activity based intervention specifically for older adults. We create holistic intervention plans that take into account your current physical capabilities, any existing clinical health conditions, and your personal goals and preferences to develop a program that you will find enjoyable, engaging, and sustainable.  Our approach centers around building strength, improving activity tolerance and capacity levels, and enhancing overall health and physical function. The aim is not just to improve your physical health, but to significantly enhance your overall quality of life, enabling greater mobility, independence and participation in the activities you love.

 

Specialised Services for Older Adults
Functional Strength and Conditioning Programs: We prescribe individualised intervention plans to enhance your strength, muscle mass, and endurance, improving your ability to perform everyday tasks with greater ease and confidence. Increased strength directly translates to improved functional mobility and independence, allowing you to manage activities of daily living (ADLs) with greater autonomy. This enhanced strength reduces the risk of falls and increases your overall feeling of well-being.

Behaviour Change and Lifestyle Modification Support: Achieving lasting improvements in your physical health requires more than just exercise. We provide comprehensive support and guidance to facilitate positive lifestyle changes. This can include assistance with adopting healthier dietary habits, increasing activity levels, and developing strategies for stress and pain management. Our goal is to help you integrate healthy habits into your daily routine for sustainable, long-term benefits.
Specialised Services for Older Adults
Falls Prevention and Balance Enhancement Programs: Falls are a significant concern for older adults, often leading to injuries, reduced mobility, and decreased independence. Our Exercise Physiologists design targeted intervention programs that improve balance, coordination, and overall stability, significantly reducing your risk of falls. This improved balance translates to a greater sense of security and confidence in performing daily activities.

Flexibility and Mobility Improvement Programs: Maintaining flexibility and mobility is essential for preventing injuries and maintaining independence. Our programs incorporate exercises and techniques designed to enhance range of motion, alleviate stiffness, and improve overall mobility. This improved flexibility can make a significant difference in your ability to perform everyday tasks and maintain an active lifestyle.
A Collaborative Approach to Enhanced Well-being

At Generation Care, we believe in a collaborative approach to care. We work closely with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals, such as your GP and other allied health workers, to ensure that your exercise program is integrated seamlessly into your overall care plan. We regularly assess your progress and make necessary adjustments to your program, ensuring that it remains safe, effective, and aligned with your evolving needs and goals. Our aim is to empower you to take an active role in managing your health and wellbeing, leading to a more fulfilling and independent life.
