What actually is an Exercise Physiologist?
Exercise Physiology is still a relatively young profession, so it’s understandable that many people aren’t quite sure what we do.
Our real strength is understanding injury, illness and how the body moves.
We assess your movement, identify your strengths and limitations, and explore the factors that may be holding you back. We then use that information to create a genuinely individualised exercise program, not simply a list of exercises.
The goal is to build a program around your body, your goals and, most importantly, your actual life.
Clinical reasoning. Practical exercise. A clear path forward.

ChatGPT referred a client to us….but he still didn’t know what an exercise physiologist actually did.
After dealing with chronic lower-back pain and recurring flare-ups, he had tried several treatment approaches. Some had helped at the time, but he was still looking for a longer term solution.
So, he entered his history into ChatGPT.
Its recommendation? See an exercise physiologist.

🦴 RESEARCH REVIEW
Bone Stress Injuries in Athletes
Bone stress injuries usually don’t come from one bad run 🏃🏽♀️, one hard session, or one big week.
They build over time, when the balance ⚖️ between training stress and recovery starts to shift.
Training load matters, but it’s rarely the whole story.
Sleep, fuelling, menstrual health, strength, bone density, previous injury history, life stress and recovery all play a role in how a bone adapts to load.
So prevention isn’t always about simply doing less. It’s about understanding the bigger picture and making better decisions around load 📈, recovery and longterm athlete health.
💬 What do you think is the most overlooked factor when it comes to preventing bone stress injuries?
If your bones could choose their favourite exercise… they definitely wouldn’t choose sitting 🦴🏋🏼♀️.
Did you know that 1 in 3 women & 1 in 5 men over 50 experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime ⁉️
The good news? 💙
Exercise is one of the most effective tools we have to improve bone health.
So what do all 5 of our bone-loading exercises have in common?
✨ IMPACT ✨
We want to hear 🥁it! (Just like Chris shows us!)
1. Loud marching on the spot
2. Loaded step-ups
3. Drop landings
4. Pogo jumps
5. Depth drops
But WAIT ✋🏼
More load isn’t always better.
The key is finding the right amount of loading for YOU and progressing gradually based on your current capacity & confidence.
🦴 Strong bones are built over time, not overnight.
The best exercise for your bones isn’t the hardest one…
💙 It’s the one that’s right for your current capacity.
