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 had to move our annual Easter egg hunt indoors this year but it was still a blast! Turns out hiding eggs in a clinic is harder than it sounds π£
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!

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.
π Head to our website for your first consultation.

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. πͺ

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. β¨

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.
Within the practice our approach to care recognises that the best outcomes are achieved when our team creates a partnership with our patients and their medical/health professionals to improve real-life outcomes through the latest evidence-based methods.
Our practitioners are well positioned to help with a wide variety of conditions with additional expertise in chronic and persistent pain, workplace injury, exercise for cancer and Women's health.
