Palmdale Aged Care Exercise Physiology Industry Leaders
Aged care exercise physiology is exercise physiology tailored specifically to the physical needs and goals of older Australians. As people age, maintaining muscle strength, balance, cardiovascular fitness and physical function becomes increasingly important; not only for independence, but for quality of life, fall prevention and the management of chronic conditions that are common in later life.
At Physio Inq, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists deliver evidence-based exercise programs for older Australians at home, in residential aged care and in community settings. We work with clients to develop exercise programs that are safe, enjoyable and directly relevant to the activities and goals that matter most to them; whether that’s staying on their feet, keeping up with grandchildren or simply maintaining the strength to manage daily tasks.
We work with older Australians accessing a range of funding pathways, including the Support at Home program (formerly Home Care Package), the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and private funding.
What our aged care exercise physiologists can help with:
- Strength and resistance training to maintain muscle mass and functional capacity
- Balance and coordination programs to reduce falls risk
- Cardiovascular fitness programs adapted to age and health status
- Chronic disease management through exercise, including osteoporosis, arthritis and heart disease
- Rehabilitation exercise following hospitalisation, surgery or illness
- Exercise programs for residents in aged care facilities
- Flexibility and mobility programs for everyday function
- Mental health support through structured physical activity
- Education and coaching on safe, sustainable exercise habits
- Coordination with Home Care Package providers and case managers
Every program is designed with the older person’s goals, health status and preferences at the centre, and is adjusted regularly as their capacity and circumstances change.
How We Deliver Exercise Physiology
Physio Inq delivers exercise physiology across three service channels, ensuring flexible, accessible support regardless of location or circumstances.
In Your Home
Home-based exercise physiology allows sessions to take place in the environment where the client lives and functions. Our exercise physiologists design programs using available home space and equipment or bring portable equipment as needed, ensuring exercise is practical, achievable and immediately relevant to daily life. Removing the need to travel to a clinic is particularly important for clients managing fatigue, mobility limitations, disability or complex health conditions, where the demands of attending a clinic can be a significant barrier to consistent exercise participation.

In Your Community
For clients who prefer to exercise in a community setting, our exercise physiologists can deliver sessions in local parks, gyms, community centres and supported accommodation environments. Community-based sessions support social participation goals and can be particularly motivating for long-term exercise adherence.
Online (Telehealth)
Telehealth exercise physiology is available for program delivery, coaching, progress reviews and education sessions. It is effective for many aspects of exercise prescription and is particularly useful for clients in regional or remote areas, or for regular check-ins between in-person sessions.

Who We Support
Physio Inq’s aged care exercise physiology services are available to older Australians across a range of living situations, health conditions and care arrangements.
Clients Accessing the Support at Home Program
We work with older Australians accessing exercise physiology through the Support at Home program. Our team coordinates directly with providers and case managers to ensure services align with the client’s approved care plan and funding arrangement.
Older Australians at Risk of Falls
Falls are one of the most significant health risks for older Australians. Our exercise physiologists design structured fall prevention programs that address the key physical contributors to falls risk, including reduced leg strength, poor balance, slow reaction time and reduced cardiovascular fitness. Programs are delivered at home and tailored to the individual’s current capacity and living environment.
Older Australians Managing Chronic Conditions
We work with older Australians managing osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other chronic conditions. Exercise is a cornerstone of managing these conditions, and our programs are designed to be safe, progressive and practically integrated into daily routines.
Residents in Aged Care Facilities
Our exercise physiologists provide programs within residential aged care settings, working with facility staff and care teams to support residents’ physical function, independence and quality of life.
Older Australians Recovering from Hospitalisation or Surgery
For older adults recovering from a hospital admission, surgery or significant illness, exercise physiology supports a safe, graduated return to physical activity and helps rebuild the strength and fitness needed for independent daily living.
Family Members and Carers
We work closely with families and carers who are supporting an older person, providing clear guidance on how to safely encourage and reinforce exercise between sessions.
If you are supporting a family member and would like to discuss their needs before making a referral, we welcome that conversation. Contact our team on 1300 731 733 or use our online Make a Referral Form.
