Mount Gambier Exercise Physiology

25/03/2026

Moving through Parkinson’s often feels like your body is playing by a different set of rules.

Exercise Physiology can help! How?

It’s all about neuroplasticity.

Consistent, targeted exercise helps the brain form new neural pathways, essentially "rewiring" around the areas affected by Parkinson’s Disease.
Some strategies we may use:

• Balance & Stability: We use specific drills to reduce the risk of falls and manage "freezing" of gait.

• Movement Amplitude: We use big, bold movements to counteract the tendency for movements to become small and slow.

• Cognitive Dual-Tasking: We challenge the brain and body simultaneously

For individuals with Parkinson's, structured, goal-oriented exercise isn’t just an activity; it is a critical intervention for maintaining quality of life and slowing disease progression.

If someone you love is living with Parkinson’s, send them this post. Evidence based exercise can make a huge difference in quality of life and slowing disease progression.

Answering some frequently asked questions over the next few weeks 🤔💭

First up - Do you need a referral to access Exercise Physiology?

The short answer, is no. You don’t need a referral. You can simply make an appointment.

You can also be referred by a GP (with or without a care plan) or by a specialist.

If you are under NDIS, you can also self refer, or your GP or support coordinator may refer you.

If you have any questions, send me a message. Always happy to help 😊

Im really hoping the power of social media can help me out here…

I'm looking to connect with a passionate Personal Trainer or Exercise Scientist in Mount Gambier for a referral partnership!

As an Exercise Physiologist, my goal is to help clients through rehabilitation and chronic condition management. But the journey doesn't end there! I need a trusted professional to take the reins when they're ready to transition from clinical care to long-term fitness. Programs can be provided and reviewed by myself as needed.

I’m Looking For Someone Who:

• Prioritises safety and movement quality.
• Understands the importance of evidence-based training.
• Is collaborative and believes in the power of a strong referral network.
• Specialises in helping people maintain their health and build strength safely.

If you’re a trainer/ES who focuses on client longevity and technical precision, let's chat!
I believe we can make a huge impact on our community by working together.

Please email jenny@mgep.com.au if you're interested in connecting! Let’s keep everyone moving safely. 🤝💪

Weekly wrap up for MGEP.

It’s been a great week in clinic. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and help some wonderful people.

Online bookings are open: www.mgep.com.au

Some of the reasons people sought Exercise Physiology this week…

We want to be upfront with our community about our pricing. To ensure Mount Gambier Exercise Physiology remains sustainable and continues to offer premium care, we do not bulk bill our services.

While we wish the current Medicare system fully covered the cost of expert Exercise Physiology, the reality is that bulk billing is no longer sustainable for a clinic committed to high-standard, evidence-based care.

To keep our doors open and our standards high, a gap fee applies to our sessions. However, we make claiming easy! Claiming is done on the day, while your are still in clinic!

How it works for Medicare (CDM) patients:

1. You pay the full session fee on the day.
2. We process your Medicare claim on the spot.
3. You receive your $61.80 rebate back into your account almost instantly.

This allows us to spend more time with you and less time rushing between appointments. Quality over quantity, always.

The qualifications behind the EP, that proudly hang on the clinic wall.

Before I was an Exercise Physiologist, I was a personal trainer for 10 years.
I realised there was so much more to learn, and so many ways I could help people if I learned more.

I completed a Bachelor of Exercise Science in 2018 and found a passion for pathophysiology and using exercise as medicine.

This passion led me to undertake a Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology, which I completed with Distinction, while pregnant with my now 4 year old.

I’ve been working as an EP since the end of 2020. In that time I’ve completed short courses in Oncology rehabilitation, GLAD for knee and hip osteoarthritis, Exercise for Osteoporosis, Clinical Pilates and am currently completing a Postgraduate course in Pain Science and education through Adelaide Uni.

I love seeing people starting to believe in themselves, enjoy exercises and begin to do things they never thought they would again. Exercise is such a powerful tool in healthcare. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of talking about it.

In all seriousness, all referrals and enquiries are up to date. If you are expecting to hear from me, but haven’t. Please send me a gentle reminder. ☺️

The offer: Book weekly clinical Pilates sessions (during school terms) and receive a $20 discount per session for as long as you do them.
