"Exercise physiology")
Exercise Physiology
Exercise physiologists are allied health professionals who specialise in the development of exercise, lifestyle and behavioural modification programs.
These programs aim to achieve positive health outcomes for LCHS clients, with a particular focus on prevention and management of chronic diseases, injuries and disabilities.
Our exercise physiologists look after your whole health. They think about your physical, mental and emotional health when planning your care.
Assessing your needs
When we first see you, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of your health and fitness so we can develop an appropriate exercise plan. Your exercise plan might involve one-on-one sessions, group exercise sessions, or an exercise program you can do at home.
Our exercise groups are for people with a wide range of health conditions.
Groups run under the supervision of exercise physiologists and allied health assistants.
You can join our exercise groups if you are just starting out or have been exercising for years. We also run specific exercise groups for people who have:
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Falls and balance issues
- Respiratory conditions
Group exercise sessions
Your exercise physiologist or physiotherapist may recommend one of our supervised group sessions.
Some sessions are designed to suit specific conditions such as diabetes or arthritis. Others are aimed at the level of exercise suitable for your current ability.
We also run hydrotherapy sessions. Our staff can recommend if this is a suitable option for you following a comprehensive assessment.
Walking groups
If you prefer activity in an outdoor setting, you can also take part in a Heart Foundation Walking group. This is a social, fun and easy way to be active. There are several walking groups that meet and walk together in:
- Moe
- Newborough
- Morwell
- Churchill
- Traralgon
- Yallourn North
These walking groups are free and open to all ages and abilities. Come along and join in on the fun.
There are also guided walks which take place in local Gippsland parks with beautiful scenery.
To find a walk near you, visit the Heart Foundation website or phone the Health Promotion team at Latrobe Community Health Service.
