Getting older doesn't have to mean getting weaker
Muscle and bone naturally decline with age, but the right exercise can slow that decline and build strength at any age. We help adults from their 60s to their 90s stay strong, steady and independent.

Small changes add up with age
Real changes, and real ways to respond
Ageing brings measurable changes that start earlier than most people expect. Exercise is one of the most effective ways to respond to them.
Muscle
Muscle mass and strength gradually decline from your 30s, and faster after 60. This is called sarcopenia, and it drives weakness, fatigue and loss of independence.
Bone
Bone density falls with age, especially in women after menopause, raising the risk of fractures at the hip, spine and wrist.
Balance
Strength, balance and reaction time all decline, and the risk of falling rises with age.
Exercise for strength, independence and a longer, healthier life
We start with a thorough assessment of your strength, balance, mobility, health conditions and goals, then build a program that's right for your body today.
Progressive strength
One of the most important things you can do as you age. Helps protect joints, reduce falls and keep you capable.
Balance and falls
Balance, stepping and walking practice to reduce your risk before a fall happens.
Bone health
Weight-bearing and strength work targeting the hip, spine and wrist.
Heart health
Aerobic exercise for heart health, blood pressure, cholesterol and energy.
Everyday strength
Getting up from the floor, stairs, carrying shopping, getting in and out of the car.
Health conditions
Diabetes, heart conditions, osteoporosis, arthritis and more, built into one plan.
Mobility
Keeping your joints moving and your posture comfortable, easing everyday stiffness.
Program in our app
Clear videos and instructions so you can exercise confidently at home.
Strength. Balance. Independence.
These goals build on each other. Strength improves balance, better balance protects independence, and staying independent keeps you active.
Strength
Progressive strength training to build and keep the muscle that declines with age. It protects your joints, helps your metabolism and makes daily life feel easier.
Balance
Standing balance, stepping, walking and ankle strength, plus practical advice on footwear and hazards at home.
Independence
The specific abilities that let you live your way: getting up from the floor, carrying groceries, gardening, travelling and playing with grandchildren.
Adults from their 60s to their 90s
You don't need to be active already, and you don't need to be in perfect health. You just need to be ready to start.
What to expect from start to finish
We take our time. Your first appointment is unhurried and thorough.
Unhurried assessment
45 to 60 minutes covering your health, medications, falls history and goals, plus strength, balance and mobility at your pace.
A program for your life
Built around your home, your energy and what you enjoy, delivered in our app with clear videos.
Supervised sessions
We supervise, watch how you respond, and adjust. On harder days we ease off; on good days we push a little.
Reviews and GP reports
Regular reviews with reports to your GP. If your health changes or you're in hospital, we adapt when you return.
Funding options for older Australians
Many older people are entitled to funding they aren't using yet. We'll help you work out yours and confirm costs before your first appointment.
No participant contribution
Exercise Physiology is a clinical support, so there's no contribution when it's in your care plan and your budget has funds.
How aged care works →Entry-level aged care
For older Australians who are still largely independent. Your provider may ask for a client contribution.
How aged care works →GP chronic condition plan
If your GP manages a chronic condition like diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis or arthritis under a plan and refers you, Medicare subsidises up to 5 sessions a year.
How Medicare works →Veteran Card holders
Gold Card holders are covered for clinically necessary treatment, and White Card holders for accepted conditions. A GP referral is needed.
How DVA works →Extras cover
Many extras policies include Exercise Physiology. Check your limits and rebate. No referral needed.
How private health works →Book directly
No referral needed. A good option while other funding is being arranged.
