How our exercise therapists help you
Our exercise therapists spend time getting to know you, your circumstances and the supports you have available. We’ll work with you to clarify your goals. Then we’ll use evidence-based strategies to help you reach them.
We are very fortunate to have Community Neuro doing some amazing work with our daughter – the level of work undertaken has been just of such a high skill level – thanks Jen and team.

What is exercise physiology?
Exercise physiology is based on extensive research that shows being active has a powerful impact on physical and mental wellbeing. Exercise physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals. They design and deliver safe, individualised exercise programs to help promote good health and manage disease and disability.
Exercise physiologists work in various health and fitness fields. At Community NeuroRehab Service , our exercise physiology professionals concentrate on neurological care. We only see people with conditions of the brain and nervous system, which helps us deliver the latest research-backed programs. Our EPs are all registered with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). This means they have completed at least three years of full-time university education in the exercise and sports science field at a recognised institution.
Your exercise physiology journey with us
At CNRS, we don’t just ‘treat’ people, we immerse ourselves in your world. We’ll work with you and your friends, family and supports to help you achieve your goals and vision for life. Our aim is your aim – wherever that may take us.
Just as we become part of your community, we want you to feel a part of the CNRS community. Here’s what exercise physiology with CNRS will look like.
Getting to know each other
The first time you meet your Sunshine Coast exercise physiologist <link to home page>, they will take the time to get to know you. They will ask you about your health concerns and goals. They will do some tests to see how you’re functioning at the moment. Your family and support people are welcome to be part of each visit.
Planning, planning, planning!
At this stage we are going to set out a therapy plan to focus on your specific goals which may involve; weekly, fortnightly or monthly, at the pool, gym, beach or home, we will be there working with you to tackle your goals.
The sky's the limit
Do you want to get back on your boat? Do you want to get back on the beach? Do you want to get on and off the floor to play with the grandkids? Kayaking, fishing, hiking, outdoor adventures, rolling easier in bed; you name it, we’ll work on it.
Frequently asked questions
An exercise physiologist assesses and treats individuals with chronic health conditions. They use exercise-based strategies to improve your ability to function in daily activities and reduce the impact of your health condition into the future as much as possible.
At CNRS our EPs treat and assist you with your health condition purely through exercise and movement. Our physiotherapists do hands-on treatments and see you through your more acute phase of diagnosis or health flare-up.
Each treatment session will be unique and specific to your individualised needs. You can expect a 60-minute session where you will work on strengthening, stretching, pain management and movement exercises targeted to achieving your goals.
At CNRS all our therapists can provide treatment either in your home, local community, or in our Buderim clinic space. Let us know your preference and we will meet you there.
