Physiofunction has a team of exercise professionals who are trained in developing individualised exercise programmes and are experienced in working with individuals with neurological conditions. Our team is passionate about empowering people to take active control of their lives and maintain a physically active lifestyle.
Within our PFit studio, we can provide 1:1 personal training for individuals with neurological conditions, targeting specific areas of health-related fitness including body composition, muscular endurance, muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility, to help maximise health, wellbeing and functional independence.
For a more social approach, we also provide weekly group exercise sessions using online platforms for individuals to exercise from their homes. The groups sessions are divided by ability, with three different levels – seated, moderate and advanced.
If you attend PhysioFunction for physiotherapy assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss with you opportunities for accessing either 1:1 personal training or group exercise sessions and will make a referral to our PFit team.
Alternatively, if you do not require physiotherapy you can book in directly with our PFit team to access 1:1 personal training or our group exercise sessions.
