FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I see an Exercise Physiologist for women's health?

As Accredited Exercise Physiologists, we hold clinical degrees and specialize in prescribing exercise for health pathologies, pre- and postnatal changes, and complex hormonal transitions like menopause. We design custom programs that respect your body's healing requirements and prevent injury.

When can I start postnatal exercise after giving birth?

Generally, after your 6-week obstetrician or GP clearance, you can begin structured clinical recovery exercise. However, gentle pelvic floor and deep core breathing can start much sooner. We conduct a thorough assessment to determine your ready baseline.

How does exercise support me during menopause?

Declining estrogen levels accelerate the loss of muscle mass and bone mineral density. Progressive strength training acts as a clinical countermeasure, stimulating bone loading and muscle protein synthesis, while structured cardiovascular conditioning manages blood pressure and insulin sensitivity.
