PXP is an Exercise Physiology clinic specialising in tailored exercise to reach performance or health

PXP was formed in 2017 by Beth and Kyle and we will be opening our first clinic in August 2017. PXP is an Exercise Physiology clinic specialising in exercise therapy to treat pain, injury and also to rehabilitate people back to full performance. We use common strength and conditioning equipment as well as Pilates equipment to prescribe tailored exercise programs for each individual. By focusing on objective measurements of health, well-being and performance we believe we can help anyone achieve their goals.

We were lucky to have Denise a dietician from yesterday run us through the current understandings, applications of the use of weight loss drugs 💊

We also discussed specific nutritional advice that is important for those on these medications such as making sure fibre and protein intake is adequate to prevent unwanted loss of muscle and bone 🦴
A recent trial found that of the average 13.6% weight reduction 8.3kg (62%) was fat mass and 5.3kg (38%) was lean body mass. This corresponds to approx 20% of total weight loss being muscle - something that we really need to preserve when muscle health is so important for our health span and longevity.

This goes hand in hand with exercise where along with adequate protein we need resistance training and impact training as a must weekly to maintain muscle and bone health 🏋🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️
There is much more in this space to come and if you are currently taking these medications or know someone who is please get in touch for a consult with our Exercise Physiologist’s to review your current exercise plan or if you need assistance getting started and don’t know what is safe for you.
And….don’t forget we highly recommend our friends 😊 to review / discuss your current eating plan too!!!

Saturdays at PXP are always a good day but recently we are lucky enough to have our two longest serving EPs Emma Abfalter and Chris Kardaras both on Saturday. Also we are now open until 1pm on Saturday, last booking for the day is 12:30pm for a 30 minute appointment.

Emma is now full time with PXP and so will be working Saturdays during uni semester so she can teach at ACU on a Friday.

Chris is still doing Saturdays for PXP while pursuing other work, study and research projects during the week.

Make sure you book in for group or personal sessions on Saturdays with Chris, Emma, Beth or Kyle when they are available.

Our little visitor today was very well behaved as mum worked. He loved watching everyone exercising and wanted to give it a go himself!

Happy 40th Birthday PXP Director Beth,

This week instead of cake we had a BBQ feast courtesy of Shawn Connor who cooked us up some chicken, pork belly and ribs.

Getting our protein in for lunch was never so easy.

Yesterday, our team reviewed our ECG (electrocardiogram) interpretation.
We use a system called Kardia because it provides accurate single and 6-lead ECG readings that are easy to administer in private practice, and to screen pre, peak & post exercise.
It’s not uncommon for Exercise Physiologists to uncover unmanaged or unknown health concerns, and we’re fortunate to have the tools to ensure you’re exercising at the right intensity for your health.
Common heart conditions we see are heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, ectopic beats, other arrhythmias or pre/post surgery. ❤️
These conditions can cause serious harm if left untreated or poorly managed. While exercise is a great therapy, it can also exacerbate symptoms if not prescribed correctly.
As EPs, we’re trained to detect these abnormalities and adjust your exercise intensity to help you recover or manage your condition safely & allowing us to know when it’s necessary to refer you for further medical management.
We work closely with your GP and specialists to ensure you’re supported every step of the way. 🩺
For people with known or unknown health issues, exercise must be approached with care and precision to ensure the best outcomes.
We understand the role of EPs is still not widely known, but we can assure you this is exactly why our profession was created. The power of exercise is immense, and there is a wealth of evidence over the past 30-40 years supporting its value as both a treatment and preventative tool for almost all chronic diseases.
Call us biased, but we think that is really cool, and such a big opportunity for people to take control of their health, especially when currently such a small percentage of our population are engaging with the right amount of exercise.

PXP will be closed Monday June 9th for the King’s Birthday public holiday.
We will be open for business as usual on Saturday 7th June.

During our team training time yesterday Shawn went through how to use this multi use strength training unit and has left it for us to use at PXP whilst he takes a well earned holiday!

If it allows us to add further useful exercises for PXP clients we may make this a permanent part of our gym in future.

Here Shawn is demonstrating just a few of the many types of exercises that it can be used for:
1. Seated leg extension
2. Prone hyperextensions
3. Back extensions

Here’s Kyle leading our 10:30am group session this morning!
It was a full house with everyone working hard on their individualized exercise programs!

We’re experts in exercise prescription and carefully tailor each session to our clients’ needs and goals.

Today’s crew included:
• A lovely lady focused on improving bone density due to osteoporosis completing deadlifts and box jumps
• A long term attendee managing fibromyalgia /chronic fatigue & psoriatic arthritis, working through belt holds due to some current hip pain and still managing heavy incline presses
• A strong mum in her postpartum phase, rebuilding strength & power for her return to running
• And a busy grandma with Ankylosing Spondylitis, on a tendon-specific program — still crushing heavy rack pulls to maintain global strength to look after her expanding family!

Every body is different, and we make sure every program reflects that!
Proud of this group and the thoughtful exercise selections by Kyle!

On Saturday we saw the return of Beth from maternity leave she’s so excited to be back!

You’ll see her about on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat! 😊

Gerard came into PXP with the goal of assessing his current physical longevity status as well as understanding his current strength, fitness and power to inform his next exercise program.
Being 31 years old and already an avid exerciser he scored very well in the longevity tests so much so we encouraged him to partake in some of our athlete based tests.
His goals included improving strength, power and fitness.
Over 3x45 min appointments Gerard worked with Shawn and Sonja and was put through Hand held manual strength testing, lower and upper body push / pull testing, body weight hip abduction and adduction tests as well as leg power and fitness testing.
Gerard was then given some suggestions on his programming which he was able to implement at his own gym.
