About this service

Exercise prescribed around function, not fitness trends

Therapeutic exercise links strength, conditioning and mobility work to the activities the person wants or needs to keep doing.

Clinical approach

Start at the right level. Exercise with a purpose. Progress according to function and confidence.

See our approach to care

Who it suits

When therapeutic exercise may help

  • Clients needing ongoing strength and conditioning support
  • People transitioning from assessment into a progression pathway
  • Older adults wanting supervised therapeutic exercise

How care is delivered

What an exercise pathway may include

  • Exercise prescribed around function, health needs and individual goals
  • Supervised clinic-based, home-based, or community-linked exercise support
  • Progression linked back to rehabilitation, falls, and mobility goals
Plan and access

Exercise support that can progress with the person

Programs may be delivered in clinic, at home or through community-linked pathways depending on supervision needs and goals.

Where care happens

Choose the setting that fits now

Continuity

Care can move between settings as mobility, confidence or support needs change.

Funding and access

Common ways to access care

  • Support at Home (SaH)
  • Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
  • Medicare
  • Private Health Insurance
  • NDIS
  • Self-funded

Reviewing progress

Progress is reviewed through capacity and carry-over

Exercise is progressed when strength, tolerance and everyday function are improving and the response remains manageable between sessions.

Common concerns

When generic exercise is not enough

People often start when strength, stamina or confidence has reduced and generic exercise no longer feels safe or useful.

  • Strength, mobility, balance, conditioning, and maintenance needs
  • Transition from assessment into structured exercise progression
  • Need for supervised exercise shaped around older-adult function

First appointment

Choosing a safe starting level

The first review establishes current ability, health considerations, goals and a safe starting level for progression.

  1. The clinician reviews current ability, goals, risk, and the safest starting level.
  2. The plan links exercise to function, progression, and review rather than generic fitness alone.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about therapeutic exercise

How is therapeutic exercise different from a normal class?

It is prescribed around assessment findings, goals, safety, and progression rather than a generic group format.

Can exercise be prescribed for home as well as clinic?

Yes. Some people train in clinic, some at home, and some move between both depending on what they need.

Is therapeutic exercise suitable after illness or surgery?

Yes. It is often used to rebuild strength, endurance, and day-to-day function after a period of decline.
