Lower North Shore Aged Care Exercise Physiology

Exercise Physiology to help our older adults to maintain their health, well-being, functional ability and independence.

Physio Inq Exercise Physiologists have a vital and essential role in working with elderly people in our communities. They are involved in preventing disease and disability, treating current conditions, managing care, and following up in the community. Our Exercise Physiologists can identify the issues that are making the most significant impact on a senior's life and help them work to improve those, leading to a better quality of life and continued independence.

Our Aged Care Exercise Physiologists therapists are experienced in the treatment and long-term management of older people.

Whether that treatment and assessment is in homes, hospitals, aged care facilities, retirement villages or nursing homes, our Physio Inq Aged Care Exercise Physiologists come directly to where ever you want them. This removes the trauma and difficulty of having to travel to appointments, meaning elderly patients can get the care they need easily.
