- Cardiovascular fitness programs tailored to disability and health status

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 NDIS exercise physiology services support participants across all ages, disability types and plan management arrangements.

We support self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed participants. Our team handles all invoicing and reporting in line with NDIS guidelines and communicates directly with support coordinators and plan managers throughout service delivery.
Participants with Physical Disability
We design exercise programs for participants living with physical disability, focusing on improving strength, mobility, endurance and functional independence in daily activities. Programs are adapted to the participant’s physical capacity and delivered in their preferred environment.
Participants with Neurological Conditions
Our exercise physiologists have experience working with participants living with cerebral palsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions. Programs use evidence-based approaches to support neuroplasticity, maintain function and manage condition-specific challenges.

For NDIS participants living with psychosocial disability or mental health conditions, exercise physiology provides structured, supportive physical activity programs that build confidence, routine and wellbeing alongside physical fitness.
Support Coordinators and Plan Managers
We work closely with support coordinators and plan managers to streamline referrals, provide timely progress reports and ensure services are well-coordinated with the participant’s broader support network.

- Strength and Fitness Support: Goal-directed strength and fitness activities can help you feel steadier and more capable when completing tasks like carrying groceries or going up the stairs.
