An Exercise Physiologist can be of great help to individuals who are enrolled in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in a number of ways. Here are a few examples:

 

• Assessing fitness levels: An Exercise Physiologist can assess an individual's current fitness levels and design an exercise program that is tailored to their specific needs and abilities. This can help to improve their overall health and well-being, as well as to increase their independence and ability to participate in activities.

 

• Managing chronic conditions: Many individuals with disabilities may have chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity. An Exercise Physiologist can help these individuals manage their conditions by developing safe and effective exercise programs that can help to improve their health and manage their symptoms.

 

• Improving mobility and function: Exercise Physiologists can work with individuals to help them improve their mobility and function. They can develop exercises that target specific areas of the body, such as the legs, arms, or core, to help improve balance, coordination, and strength.

 

• Supporting participation in activities: Exercise Physiologists can work with individuals to help them participate in activities that they enjoy. They can develop exercise programs that will help them to achieve their goals and improve their ability to participate in activities of their choice.

 

• Monitoring progress: An Exercise Physiologist can monitor an individual's progress over time to ensure that their exercise program is safe and effective. They can adjust the program as needed and provide feedback to the individual and other members of their support team.

 

• Collaboration with other professionals: An Exercise Physiologist can work closely with other members of the NDIS team, such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and speech therapists, to ensure that the individual receives a holistic, comprehensive and coordinated care plan.

 

Overall, an Exercise Physiologist can help individuals enrolled in the NDIS to improve their overall health and well-being, increase their independence and ability to participate in activities, and achieve their goals.
