Hey there!
I’m Andrew, Exercise Physiologist and founder of Recovery You! I’ve been a mobile exercise physiologist for over 5 years and have worked with a range of clients on numerous outcomes for their bodies and minds. I love what I do and created Recovery You as a way to help people feel the benefits of exercise physiology, when they can.
I know how busy people can get, that’s why I work within people’s schedules and location to ensure they’re getting the right care at the right time.
For me it’s about helping you where you’re most comfortable, and ensuring that the outcomes you get are meeting your desires for your body, your life and your whole being.
New clients are welcome, so if you’re interested in learning more about how I can help you feel better, feel free to drop us a line.
To kick off our first appointment, we will have a chat about your current health status and what you're hoping to achieve from our appointments. This is where I get to know you, your lifestyle, your body and mind goals, and how I can help you.
We also run through a few functional assessments so that we both have a better understanding of where you’re at, what might need improving, and where our sessions should prioritise in focus.
At this stage I explain exactly how we're going to get you feeling your best and plan a schedule for how this is going to happen.
From here, we will go through exercises that you can do at home, as well as work through some of your pain points right away to help get some relief.
For your convenience, here are answers to the most frequently asked questions. If you can’t find the answer you are looking for, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll be happy to answer any question you may have.
Absolutely it is! Exercise is not about heavy weights and big muscles – it’s about function. Whether you’re starting from scratch or highly experienced with exercise, there are so many ways to start moving that are safe and effective for you.
The key difference between an exercise physiologist and a personal trainer is who we tend to work with. Our treatment method is the same – using a wide array of exercises and movement to build function – but an EP works mainly in the chronic health world. It’s our job to understand how and why a chronic health condition or injury is affecting the body and what exercise is safe and effective to overcome. Conversely, a personal trainer is equipped to work with healthy populations only.
Firstly, the effects of exercise are often fast and significant, so you’ll be feeling improvement in no time. But if that’s not enough, Recovery You routinely performs functional reassessments with all of their clients so that we have hard figures to compare, almost always showing improvement across the board.
There’s no one answer for this question as everyone is different. One person could engage in one session and be on their way to a healthier life. Someone else might require ongoing care for an extended period. It all just depends on where you’re at and how much support is needed to facilitate continued improvement.
There is a small per kilometer fee attached to each session. All invoice details will be provided before committing to anything. In terms of time, you only pay for the time spent directly with your exercise physiologist.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of crossover when it comes to EP and PT. But the key to exercise treatment is that it’s relatively hands off. My job is to provide tailored exercise prescriptions that build you from the inside out. Put simply, we provide the knowledge and expertise, you provide the hard work and exercise!
It’s certainly possible. Exercise physiology services are available through the NDIS. Whether or not you’re able to use your funding will depend on how your fund has been allocated. I’m always happy to discuss how this might look, or you can speak with your support coordinator for more information.
As soon as it’s safe for someone to exercise independently, they’ll be prescribed exercises to do outside of their supervised sessions. This is not just to facilitate progression and improvement, but also to help build the confidence required to take charge of your own health and exercise!
We always love to contact allied health professionals and general practitioners given your consent, When we’re all on the same page, it’s much easier to organise your treatment in a way that is most effective.
Simply call 0477 657 771 to speak with AJ and we’ll get you booked in as soon as possible! We do our best to work around your schedule and your location to make accessing exercise physiology services as easy as possible.
