Exercise Physiology For Chronic Conditions

Exercise physiology is essential for managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Research shows that structured exercise can enhance physical function, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall health and well-being. However, individuals living with chronic conditions often encounter unique challenges when engaging in physical activity.

At Chronic Gains, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) have extensive experience supporting patients under the Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Plan. We develop personalised exercise programs tailored to each individual’s condition, capabilities, and health goals – helping them overcome challenges and achieve sustainable health outcomes.

Our Exercise Physiology programs are designed to be safe, effective, and focused on:

  • Improve cardiovascular health
  • Strengthen muscles and bones
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Reduce joint pain and improve joint mobility
  • Help regulate blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity
  • Improve mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase mental and physical health

All of which are critical for managing chronic conditions, reducing the risk of complications, and increasing overall well-being.
