What happens at your first appointment?

- Goals: identify the activities, health outcomes or daily tasks that matter to you.
- Assessment: complete relevant strength, mobility, balance, walking or fitness checks.
- Program planning: build a realistic exercise plan around your starting level and available equipment.
- Progression: arrange reviews so exercise load, difficulty and independence can increase safely.
Your program may be completed at home, in a gym, outdoors, in hydrotherapy, in supervised clinic sessions or through a combination of settings.

Exercise Physiology or physiotherapy?
Exercise Physiology commonly focuses on structured exercise, strength, fitness, balance, chronic health support and long-term capacity.
Physiotherapy may be the better first step when pain is new, severe, worsening or unclear, or when you need an injury assessment, hands-on treatment or early-stage rehabilitation.
Both services can work together. PhysioWorks Sandgate clinicians can help coordinate your care and move you between services when appropriate.
