Welcome to the vast and dynamic world of exercise physiology, a discipline that sits at the cornerstone of health and fitness. At the Moov Physio, we specialise in translating the science of exercise physiology into practical strategies for cardiovascular fitness, muscle hypertrophy, aerobic conditioning, and much more.
Exercise physiology is underpinned by two essential elements: cardiovascular fitness and aerobic conditioning. The cardiorespiratory service we offer focuses on these areas, helping you improve your heart and lung function, leading to increased stamina and overall well-being.
Cardiovascular fitness is the efficiency with which your body can take in oxygen and deliver it to your muscles. In contrast, aerobic conditioning refers to the enhancement of the energy-generating process in muscles. Both are crucial in maintaining overall health and are particularly beneficial for individuals who require geriatric physiotherapy or sports physiotherapy.
Strength training, an integral part of exercise physiology, promotes muscle hypertrophy - the growth and increase of the size of muscle cells. At Moov Physio, our exercise prescription and exercise physiology services are tailored to promote muscle growth and strength, improving overall physical performance and body composition.
As sports and athletic performance are driven by muscle power, our specialists also provide bespoke sports injury prevention training, focusing on the precise needs of each sportsperson. These trainings are designed not just to prevent injuries but to enhance performance, through a blend of strength training, endurance training, and core stability exercises.
Functional movement is at the core of every physical activity we perform, from simple everyday tasks to complex athletic feats. Our functional movement assessment service takes a deep dive into your movement patterns, identifying areas of improvement to help you move better and more efficiently.
Moreover, we emphasise on neuromuscular function, the coordination between muscles and nerves, which plays a vital role in maintaining balance and stability. Through our neuromuscular rehabilitation services, we aim to improve this interaction, aiding in better mobility and performance.
To achieve the peak of fitness and sports performance, endurance training is key. This facet of exercise physiology is centred around improving stamina and endurance, which can significantly influence your sports performance. Whether you're a professional athlete or a fitness enthusiast, our sports injury rehab and sports physiotherapy services integrate customised endurance and high-intensity training regimens to push your physical limits and enhance performance.
High-Intensity Training (HIT), another crucial element of exercise physiology, involves brief, intermittent bursts of vigorous exercise interspersed with periods of rest or lower-intensity exercise. HIT has been shown to improve both anaerobic capacity and aerobic conditioning. Our trainers at Moov Physio incorporate HIT into our group classes, ensuring a well-rounded approach to fitness.
Exercise rehabilitation is a holistic approach to treatment that uses specific movements and exercises to help patients recover from injuries or surgeries. At Moov Physio, our post-surgery rehabilitation service incorporates exercise physiology to aid in recovery and prevent future injuries.
Our workcover injury rehabilitation services also employ exercise rehabilitation techniques to assist injured workers in regaining their strength and mobility, facilitating a faster and safer return to work.
In the realm of sports, athletic training takes precedence, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and intervention of emergency, acute, and chronic medical conditions. Our sports injury prevention and sports injury rehabilitation services incorporate robust athletic training methodologies that cater to individual needs of every athlete.
Plyometric training, a type of high-intensity training that aims to improve power (strength and speed) and neuromuscular function, is often integrated into athletic training regimens. It involves rapid stretching and contracting of muscles, enhancing muscular power and performance.

In the sphere of exercise physiology, the psychological aspect of training plays a pivotal role. Exercise psychology explores the connection between physical activity and mental health. Our exercise physiology service understands this intricate relationship and employs strategies to ensure mental wellbeing during the rehabilitation process.
Core stability is paramount in maintaining balance and strength in the body. A strong core can significantly improve your functional movement - the ability to move the body with proper muscle and joint function for effortless, pain-free movement. Our functional movement assessment service is dedicated to analysing and improving your movement patterns for better performance and reduced injury risk.
Through our posture correction exercises, we further aid in stabilising your core and improving overall body functionality. This comprehensive approach not only enhances your sports performance but also your everyday life.
Though pushing boundaries is important, it's equally crucial to understand the risks of overdoing it. Overtraining Syndrome (OTS) is a condition that occurs when the body is pushed (through exercise) beyond its ability to recover. At Moov Physio, our professionals keep a watchful eye to avoid OTS during strength training sessions, ensuring that you train in the safe zone while still making consistent progress.
It's clear that exercise physiology is a multifaceted field, incorporating a diverse array of disciplines and methods. At Moov Physio, we offer a wide range of services that tap into these areas, ensuring that you get the most out of your training and rehabilitation. With us, you can rest assured that your health and fitness journey will be informed, safe, and effective.
