Lachlan is off to a well-deserved holiday to Japan from today and won't be back until Monday 4th May. If you need to book a physiotherapy appointment during that time, the rest of our team will be happy to support.

From a clinical perspective, the evidence is solid. Regular, structured exercise has a measurable effect on depression, anxiety, and overall mood.

An exercise physiologist can prescribe a program that accounts for your health history, your capacity, and what you're dealing with. Because 'just go for a walk' isn't always helpful advice.

If you're managing your mental health and want to explore what exercise could add to your care, we're worth a conversation.

We're pleased to introduce Gabrielle, the newest member of our physiotherapy team.

As a former elite gymnast and trampoline coach, Gabrielle knows firsthand the physical demands athletes face and the frustration of working through injury. She brings that insight into every treatment plan she creates.

Gabrielle has a strong interest in working with young athletes and active adolescents, helping them navigate injury recovery with confidence. Her approach is evidence-based, practical, and designed around each person's goals.

Whether it's returning to training, managing a ni**le, or building resilience for long-term performance, Gabrielle creates clear pathways forward.

Book with Gabrielle on our website or with 03 9351 0677.

Please note that we'll be closed Friday 3 to Monday 6 April and back on Tuesday 7 April. Wishing you a safe and happy Easter (with plenty of chocolate) from all of us at EFRH!

Enjoy the break, Craig! 👋

For a long time, rest was the default advice for persistent pain. Stop moving. Wait it out.

We now know that's rarely the right call.

For most chronic pain conditions, graded movement is one of the most effective tools we have. Not pushing through pain though! But avoiding all movement can actually make things worse over time.

Exercise helps reduce pain sensitivity, rebuild strength, and improve your confidence in your body. It's not a quick fix, but it works.

If you've been living with pain and aren't sure what to do next, an exercise physiologist can help you find a way forward.

Tired all the time. Short of breath climbing stairs. A joint that aches, then settles, then aches again.

These things are easy to brush off. Life is busy. It's probably nothing.

But persistent symptoms, even mild ones, are often your body signalling that something needs attention. The earlier you act, the easier it is to address.

If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time to talk to someone. That's what we're here for.

What are force plates and why does it matter for your exercise programs?

We've just added force plate technology to EFRH, so it felt like a good time to explain what they actually do.

Force plates measure the forces your body produces during movement. That includes how much load you're putting through each leg, how your balance shifts, and whether one side is compensating for the other.

For our clients, that means more precise assessments and exercise programs built on real data.

We'll be using them across a range of our programs. More updates coming soon. 💪

That afternoon slump after lunch? It's often your blood sugar talking.

Here's the good news: you can do something about it without overhauling your entire life.

Simple changes include a short walk after meals to help support insulin to improve the way it can transport glucose out of your blood stream and into the parts of your body that needs it, like your muscles, cells and brain. Or building more muscle through strengthening exercises to support an even stronger response from insulin to supercharge its efforts.

If you're managing diabetes, pre-diabetes or just want more stable energy through the day, we'd love to help you figure out what works for your body. ✨

Exercise for Rehabilitation & Health - Our Story

Exercise for Rehabilitation & Health was born out of a mission to create impact on Australia's health landscape through the development and application of a range of preventative and health management services that all people from all walks of life could access.

Nicole French founded the practice in 2006 and over the last decade, our group has grown to into a progressive health practice filled with passionate Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists that work together to achieve the best outcomes for our patients and improve the health of our local community.

We work alongside a number of non for profit organisations such as Diabetes Victoria, Girls Uniform Agenda and Parents Voice so we can contribute to developing better food and physical activity environments for children an adults. For more of our advocacy work check out our latest news and blog pages. We have also been in partnership with the Diabetes Victoria Life! Program for over a decade helping people to lose weight long term and prevent Diabetes; our programs have been among the most successful in Victoria since the program became available in 2007.

We appear regularly on television and radio to discuss new evidence and approaches for weight management, back pain and childhood obesity and are often consulted to comment in publications such as the Age and Herald Sun.
