Chronic disease management

Living with a chronic health condition often means managing your health over the long term. Exercise can be an important part of that management, helping to improve physical capacity, manage symptoms and support overall health.

Exercise as Medicine

Whether you are newly diagnosed, managing a long-term condition or looking to become more active, we can help you exercise safely and confidently.

Before starting an exercise program, we take the time to understand your health history, current fitness, medications, symptoms and goals.

Your Exercise Physiologist will then develop an individualised program based on your needs. This may include cardiovascular exercise, strength training, balance and mobility exercises, or functional training.

How exercise can help

Improve physical capacity

Build strength, cardiovascular fitness and endurance to improve your ability to perform everyday activities.

Manage symptoms

Appropriate exercise can help manage symptoms such as fatigue, pain, breathlessness and reduced physical capacity associated with some chronic conditions.

Support disease management

Exercise can play an important role alongside medical management for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and metabolic conditions.

Maintain strength and mobility

Regular exercise helps maintain physical capacity and reduce the effects of inactivity and deconditioning.

Improve cardiovascular health

Build aerobic fitness and support heart and circulatory health through appropriately prescribed exercise.

Support bone health

Weight-bearing and resistance exercise can help maintain bone strength and physical function, particularly for people with osteoporosis.

Improve balance and coordination

Develop greater stability and control where a health condition affects balance or movement.

Support healthy weight and metabolism

Combine regular physical activity with sustainable exercise habits to support metabolic health and weight management.

Improve overall wellbeing

Regular physical activity can support energy levels, mood, sleep and general quality of life.
