Maintaining your strength, balance, and overall fitness becomes more important as you age- especially if you're living with chronic conditions, recovering from injury, or noticing a decline in mobility. That’s where seeing an Exercise Physiologist (EP) under your Home Care Package (HCP) can make a powerful difference.

At My Allied Care, our mobile Exercise Physiologists come directly to your home to provide personalised, safe, and effective exercise programs designed around you. Here’s why it’s a great investment in your long-term health and independence.

1. Exercise Tailored to Your Health and Goals

Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified professionals who specialise in clinical exercise prescription. Unlike general fitness instructors, they work with people managing:

Arthritis
Heart conditions
Diabetes
Osteoporosis
Parkinson’s disease
Post-surgical recovery
General deconditioning

They design a plan tailored to your medical history, mobility level, and goals—whether it’s to get stronger, reduce falls risk, or simply improve your ability to move confidently around your home.

2. Build Strength, Balance, and Confidence

Falls are a leading cause of injury for older Australians, and poor strength or balance is a major factor. An EP can help you:

Improve muscle strength and endurance
Enhance balance and coordination
Increase flexibility and joint movement
Regain confidence in walking and daily movements

All exercises are guided, safe, and done in the comfort of your own living room—no gym needed!

3. Stay Independent Longer

Regular exercise improves more than just your physical health—it can boost your mental well-being, energy, and ability to live independently. Working with an EP can help you continue doing the things you love:

Getting out and about
Playing with the grandkids
Gardening or housework
Social activities

By focusing on function and longevity, an EP becomes a key support in helping you age well at home.

4. Use Your Home Care Package Funding Wisely

Your HCP can cover Exercise Physiology sessions, making them accessible with no out-of-pocket costs if included in your care plan. That means:

You get regular visits from a dedicated EP
Your progress is tracked and adjusted safely
It fits seamlessly into your broader health goals

It’s a smart way to use your HCP to invest in preventative care that can reduce hospital visits and support healthy ageing.
