Exercise as medicine.
Care that meets you where you are.
Five Dock Exercise Physiology helps people manage chronic disease, recover from injury, and stay independent through evidence-based exercise. NDIS, Medicare, WorkCover, and Aged Care Packages all welcome.
Exercise Physiologists
Allied health that uses exercise as treatment — not just fitness.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health professionals trained to design exercise programs for people with chronic disease, injuries, disabilities, and complex health conditions. We aren't personal trainers — we're clinicians who use evidence-based exercise to manage diabetes, cardiac conditions, chronic pain, mobility loss, mental health, and disability.
At Five Dock, our two practitioners — Kevin Wong and Andrew Lai — work with adults of all ages, from people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes through to NDIS participants, injured workers on WorkCover, older Australians using Home Care Packages, and people living with chronic pain.
Care for every stage of life and recovery.
Five focused service areas — each backed by evidence-based exercise prescription, clear funding pathways, and clinicians who understand both the medical and human side of chronic conditions.
Plan-managed and self-managed NDIS participants welcome. Capacity building, mobility, strength, and neurological condition support — including access to our anti-gravity treadmill for participants with significant mobility limitations.
