Mobile Exercise Physiology:
Evidence-Based Exercise Delivered Where You Live

What is Exercise Physiology

Exercise physiology is an evidence-based allied health discipline focused on the prescription and delivery of exercise to prevent, manage and rehabilitate chronic health conditions, disability and injury. Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university-trained clinicians, accredited through ESSA, who design and supervise individualised programs based on each person's health status, goals and physical capacity.

Mobile exercise physiology takes this support directly to the client. Rather than attending a gym or clinic, our exercise physiologists travel to the home, community or outdoor setting where exercise can be integrated naturally into daily life. This is particularly effective for people managing chronic conditions, fatigue, disability or complex health needs, where travelling to a facility is a significant barrier to consistent participation. We work collaboratively with GPs, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and support coordinators to keep programs safe and aligned with each person's broader health goals.

Exercise physiologists can help with

Chronic disease management, including cardiovascular, diabetes and respiratory conditions
Disability and NDIS exercise programs for physical function and independence
Strength, balance and mobility programs for older Australians
Cancer rehabilitation and exercise during treatment or recovery
Mental health support through structured exercise programs
Post-surgical and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
Neurological rehabilitation exercise programs
Weight management and metabolic health programs
Fatigue management and energy conservation through graded exercise

How We Deliver Exercise Physiology

Physio Inq delivers exercise physiology across three service channels, ensuring flexible, accessible support regardless of location or circumstances.

Removing the need to travel to a clinic is particularly important for clients managing fatigue, mobility limitations, disability or complex health conditions, where the demands of attending a clinic can be a significant barrier to consistent exercise participation.

In Your Home

Home-based exercise physiology allows sessions to take place in the environment where the client lives and functions. Our exercise physiologists design programs using available home space and equipment or bring portable equipment as needed, ensuring exercise is practical, achievable and immediately relevant to daily life.

In Your Community

For clients who prefer to exercise in a community setting, our exercise physiologists can deliver sessions in local parks, gyms, community centres and supported accommodation environments. Community-based sessions support social participation goals and can be particularly motivating for long-term exercise adherence.

Online (Telehealth)

Telehealth exercise physiology is available for program delivery, coaching, progress reviews and education sessions. It is effective for many aspects of exercise prescription and is particularly useful for clients in regional or remote areas, or for regular check-ins between in-person sessions.

Who We Help

At Physio Inq, our mobile exercise physiology services are available to people across a broad range of ages, conditions and support arrangements. Our ESSA-accredited exercise physiologists work with people managing chronic and complex health conditions, NDIS participants, and older Australians, delivering structured programs that build strength, mobility and long-term health.

Support for NDIS Participants

We are a registered NDIS provider and support participants across all plan management types.

Our exercise physiologists deliver goal-based programs aligned to each participant's NDIS plan, with full reporting and coordination support.

Programs are delivered where they are most practical, at home, in the community or online, and coordinated with the participant's support coordinator and broader care team.

Support for Adults

We work with individuals managing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, chronic respiratory conditions, cancer and other complex health conditions. Exercise is a powerful tool in managing these conditions, and our programs are designed to be safe, progressive and practically integrated into daily routines. We also provide exercise rehabilitation programs for people recovering from orthopaedic surgery, cardiac events or significant injury. Programs are developed in collaboration with the treating medical and allied health team. Exercise has well-established benefits for mental health, including depression, anxiety and stress. Our exercise physiologists work with individuals managing mental health conditions to develop structured, supportive programs that build physical and psychological wellbeing.

Support for Seniors

Our aged care exercise physiology services support older Australians to maintain strength, balance and independence, reduce falls risk and manage chronic conditions associated with ageing.

We work with clients accessing the Support at Home program and Home Care Packages.

Sessions can be delivered at home, in residential aged care or within the community, as well as through online consultations.

Our team provides clear guidance and communication for families and carers who are supporting a person through an exercise program, ensuring strategies can be reinforced between visits.
