Exercise Physiology & Allied Health
At Pioda Health and Performance, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals through our specialised allied health services. As experienced exercise physiologists, we focus on creating comprehensive and tailored exercise programs that address the unique needs of each individual, promoting wellness, functioning, and an improved quality of life.
What is an Exercise Physiologist?
An exercise physiologist specialises in clinical exercise intervention for people with a broad range of health conditions. The aim of an Exercise Physiologist is to prevent or manage acute, sub-acute or chronic disease or injury, and assist in restoring one’s optimal physical function, health and/or wellness.
How can we help?
1. Tailored Programs: Exercise programs derived from our rehab prinicples and practical experience to cater to the specific abilities, needs, and goals of individuals with disabilities.
2. Improved Functional Capacity: Strength, flexibility, mobility, endurance, stability, balance, coordination, core strength, and overall functional capacity to enhance daily living skills.
3. Improved Mental Well-being: Provide a supportive environment to facilitate positive psychological outcomes. Exercise programs can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression often associated with living with a disability.
4. Community Integration: Our programs are designed to help individuals be more actively engaged in community-based fitness activities, sports, or recreational events, fostering social connections and overall community integration.
NDIS Services
As registered NDIS providers for both exercise physiology and therapautic supports, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Our exercise physiologists create personalised programs that promote physical and mental well-being, enhance functional abilities, and encourage community integration. We work collaboratively with NDIS participants, their families, and support coordinators to ensure that our services align with their goals and aspirations. At Pioda, our commitment is to provide high-quality, individualised care that empowers you to achieve your health and wellness goals, no matter the challenge.
Allied Health Assistant Services
In addition to our exercise physiology services, we offer the support of Allied Health Assistants to help you achieve your rehabilitation goals. Our Therapy Assistants work under the guidance of our qualified exercise physiologists to deliver personalised exercise programs and support your progress. This collaborative approach ensures that you receive consistent, high-quality care while also providing a cost-effective solution for ongoing therapy. We recognise the challenges that people with disabilities, chronic conditions and injuries face in accessing suitable exercise programs. Our team is committed to overcoming these barriers by providing evidence-based exercise physiology practices designed to empower individuals and support their journey toward better health.
Return to Sport
Returning to sport after an injury requires a strategic approach to ensure a safe and successful comeback. At Pioda, we develop sport-specific rehabilitation programs that not only address the injury but also enhance performance. Our focus is on restoring strength, agility, and endurance, allowing you to return to your sport stronger and more resilient than before.
Rehabilitation for Musculoskeletal and Chronic Conditions
Living with musculoskeletal injuries or chronic conditions can be challenging, but our tailored rehabilitation programs are designed to improve your quality of life. We work closely with you to develop exercise plans that target your specific condition, focusing on pain management, mobility enhancement, and overall functional improvement. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, arthritis, or other long-term conditions, our evidence-based approach ensures that you receive the best care possible.
Workcover/TAC Support
Our team is also experienced in working with Workcover and TAC clients, providing tailored exercise programs that focus on safe and effective recovery. We conduct comprehensive assessments to identify your specific needs and create personalised rehabilitation plans that align with your injury or condition. Our goal is to help you regain your strength, mobility, and overall function, enabling you to return to work and daily activities with confidence.
Accessible and Affordable Care
At Pioda Health and Performance, we believe that high-quality health services should be accessible and affordable for everyone. To support our clients in accessing the care they need, we offer a range of financial support options, including Medicare rebates, private health rebates, and Allied Health Assistant services.
Medicare Rebates
We are proud to offer Medicare rebates for eligible clients, making it easier to access our exercise physiology services. If you have a chronic condition or complex care needs, your GP may refer you to our services under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan. This allows you to claim a rebate for a portion of the cost of our services, reducing the financial burden and enabling you to receive the ongoing care you need to manage your health effectively.
Private Health Rebates
For clients with private health insurance, our services are often eligible for rebates, depending on your level of cover. We work with all major health funds to ensure that you can claim rebates for our exercise physiology sessions. This support helps to offset the cost of treatment, allowing you to access our expert care without compromising your budget.
