Medical conditions may be available for Exercise Physiology services. However, eligibility for these services under Medicare is at the discretion of the individual's GP, and a referral is required.
In addition to Medicare rebates, many private health insurers also offer rebates on Exercise Physiology services. This means that individuals may be eligible for some financial assistance when accessing these services.
Your Health Exercise Physiology, owned and operated by Michael Bellett, is a Brisbane-based business located in The Gap. Michael graduated in 2006 from the University of Queensland with First Class Honours in Human Movement Studies. As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Michael specialises in providing evidence-based exercise interventions for various purposes.
The services offered by Your Health Exercise Physiology are designed to address different needs. For individuals looking to improve their general health and well-being or get into shape, personalised exercise programmes can be developed. These programmes may include a combination of home-based, gym-based, or pool-based exercises.
For individuals with chronic and complex medical conditions, Your Health Exercise Physiology offers specialised exercise interventions. These interventions are based on evidence that shows physical activity can help manage and prevent various preventable diseases and conditions. Some examples of conditions that can be addressed include Type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, some types of cancer, and chronic back pain.
To access Medicare rebates, individuals with chronic medical conditions will need to consult with their GP for a referral to Exercise Physiology services. All Medicare and DVA sessions are bulk billed, meaning there is no out-of-pocket expense for these individuals.
Exercise Physiology is a relatively new profession, and there may be some confusion about what it involves. Exercise Physiologists are allied health professionals who have completed a four-year degree in Human Movement Studies or Exercise Science. They specialise in developing and delivering exercise interventions for the management and prevention of chronic diseases and injuries. Accredited Exercise Physiologists, such as those working at Your Health Exercise Physiology, must meet strict accreditation and re-accreditation standards set by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA).
