As experts in the field of Exercise Physiology, that has worked across a range of health settings including public and private hospitals, clinics and organisations, we have extensive experience in providing services under the NDIS framework. We understand the importance of working within the NDIS to ensure that our clients have access to the services they need to achieve their goals. We are committed to helping our clients reach their full potential and achieve their desired outcomes.

For example, one of our clients with cerebral palsy was struggling with balance and coordination issues. Our Exercise Physiologists worked with them to develop a tailored exercise intervention program that focused on improving these areas. Through consistent exercise and guidance, the client was able to improve their balance and coordination, allowing them to participate in activities that were previously too difficult as well as reduce their risk of falls and subsequent injury.

Another client we worked with had a spinal cord injury and wanted to increase their strength and mobility. Our Exercise Physiologists designed a program that incorporated specific exercises and equipment to help the client achieve their goals. Through hard work and determination, the client was able to regain some of their strength and mobility, improving their overall quality of life.

Some of the Services our Exercise Physiologists provide

Neurological Rehabilitation including Stroke Rehab

At Bloom Healthcare we deliver Exercise Physiology services to help improve your functional capacity. Our Exercise Physiologists are well versed in delivering neurological rehabilitation that aligns with your NDIS plan. Exercise Physiology allows for physical rehabilitation to be delivered in a safe and effective manner that aims to maximise your functional capacity. Exercise physiology can be undertaken in the home, the community, at your local gym or a location of your choice. Neurological rehabilitation may extend to chronic diseases and disabilities such as stroke, acquired brain injuries (ABI), multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, and Peripheral Neuropathy, just to name a few. Our Exercise Physiologists tailor a structured program that aligns with your NDIS goals and the amount available within your NDIS plan.

Cardiovascular Function

The relationship between cardiovascular function and exercise physiology is complex and multi-faceted. During exercise, the body’s oxygen demand increases, which requires the heart to pump more blood to the working muscles. This increased demand for oxygen also causes the blood vessels to dilate, allowing for more efficient blood flow. Over time, regular exercise can lead to structural changes in the heart, such as an increase in the size of the heart muscle and the number of blood vessels, which can improve the heart’s ability to pump blood. Additionally, regular exercise can help to reduce blood pressure, increase the flexibility of blood vessels, and improve the levels of lipids and other blood markers associated with cardiovascular disease. Bloom Healthcare has a deep understanding of the relationship between cardiovascular function and exercise physiology which is crucial for developing exercise programs that are safe, effective, and tailored to an individual’s needs and goals.

Holistic and Individualised Exercise Prescription

At Bloom Healthcare, our Exercise Physiologists are experts in designing individualised exercise programs tailored to you and your NDIS goals, taking into consideration your primary and secondary health conditions. We use a holistic approach to ensure your overall physical and mental health conditions are being addressed through an individualised exercise program. Through Exercise Physiology, you will be assisted to achieve your NDIS goals by using a tailored approach as our Exercise Physiologists put thought into how you like to exercise, therefore it is designed for you and your lifestyle making it easier to adhere to.

Exercise for Mental Health

Exercise is not only beneficial for physical health but also has a significant impact on mental health. Regular exercise can help to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. It does so by releasing endorphins, which are natural chemicals that make you feel good and can improve your mood. Exercise can also provide a sense of accomplishment, increase self-esteem, and reduce feelings of social isolation. Additionally, it can improve cognitive function and memory. Therefore, incorporating exercise into your daily routine can be an essential tool for maintaining good mental health and overall well-being. Our team of Exercise Physiologists tailor a plan to suit your needs whether this be to improve your physical, psychological or spiritual health. Exercise Physiology sessions can be held in a variety of locations whilst also taking into consideration any mental health factors.

Improved Mobility

People living with a disability can improve their mobility and independence through Exercise Physiology. Our team of exercise physiologists will design and implement a tailored exercise program that focuses on increasing your overall functional strength leading to improved mobility, allowing you greater independence in your daily life, and reaching your NDIS goals. Increased mobility is important for people living with disability as it reduces the likelihood of potential secondary conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. At Bloom Healthcare, our team of Exercises Physiologists are well versed in maximising opportunities for you to improve your overall mobility in accordance with your disability, through effective exercise prescription. This will ultimately improve your overall health, independence and quality of life.
