At KO we see individuals funded from Medicare, NDIS, TAC and WorkSafe as well as privately paying individuals. What to expect in an assessment: An exercise physiologist will first take an extensive medical history and assess how your body functions in order to deliver a program individualized to your specific needs and goals. They will look at your current treatment plan from other health professionals if you have one to help assist with reaching these goals or a healthy lifestyle change.
Exercise Physiology is available in One on One or Small Group Sessions Prior to commencing our Group Sessions, one-on-one consultation with one of our Accredited Exercise physiologists are required. This is to ensure that a specific program appropriate to your goals is established prior to your first group session.
