Exercise Physiology Services

At Work OH&S have a team of SIRA, Comcare and Medicare accredited Exercise Physiologists .

Our Exercise Physiology services, also known as EP, support individuals recovering from injury, pain, illness, surgery, or reduced physical capacity. Whether you're rehabilitating a workplace injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to improve your overall health and conditioning, our university-qualified Exercise Physiologists provide safe, personalised, and effective programs to help you move better and feel stronger.

We believe that safe, supported movement leads to lasting recovery.

You're not in this alone

“Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional and mental state.” - Carol Welch

Our physical and mental health is deeply connected to how we move. Appropriate levels of strength, mobility, and endurance allow us to work, participate socially, and engage in the activities that make life meaningful.

But just like our emotional wellbeing, our bodies can become stressed, deconditioned, or limited over time — through injury, illness, pain, or periods of inactivity. When this happens, even everyday tasks can feel harder than they should.

Exercise Physiology provides structured, evidence-based strategies to restore movement, rebuild physical capacity, and help you regain confidence in what your body can do. It creates a supported space to strengthen, recover, and move forward with purpose.

What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise Physiology is a clinical service specialising in movement-based rehabilitation for people experiencing limitations in strength, mobility, endurance, pain, or overall physical function.

Our Exercise Physiologists support:

Workplace injuries
Musculoskeletal injuries
Chronic disease
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Neurological conditions
Deconditioning following illness or inactivity
Chronic pain management
Psychological injury where movement tolerance is reduced.

If you, or a loved one, are experiencing any signs, now is the time to get support towards wellness.

Partnering with an Exercise Physiology

Exercise Physiology services support a wide range of physical health needs, including musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, reduced mobility, fatigue, functional limitations, and the physical impacts of both physical and psychological injury. Your Exercise Physiologist will take the time to understand the challenges you are experiencing and the goals that matter to you.

They will then create a tailored, evidence-based rehabilitation plan designed to safely improve your strength, movement, endurance, and confidence.

Your Exercise Physiologist provides a supportive, professional environment where you can progress at your own pace. Together, you’ll work towards restoring physical capacity, managing pain, improving daily function, and rebuilding the confidence to return to the activities—and the life—that matter to you.

At Work OH&S also offers the Restore Program - an integrated program that combines psychology and exercise physiology to align therapeutic and physical goals, offering a structured and sustainable pathway to long-term wellbeing.

Our Approach to Exercise Physiology Services

No body is the same, and we believe your rehabilitation shouldn’t be either. We value your experiences, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing, and we take a personal, supportive approach to helping you move with confidence again.

We know that physical health affects every part of your life — your energy, your mood, your work, and your independence. Our Exercise Physiologists work with you, and with other health professionals when needed, to create safe, tailored strategies that support your recovery and long-term wellbeing.

Our approach is collaborative, not directive. We offer clear options, explain each step, and empower you to choose the level of support that feels right for you.

We want you to achieve lasting, meaningful change — stronger movement, less pain, and the confidence to live a healthier, more active life.
