Conveniently Active Exercise Physiology

Conveniently Active Exercise Physiology Conveniently Active provides exercise physiology services on the Central Coast. We have three clinics on the Central Coast: Wyoming, Erina and Umina.

We specialise in providing exercise prescription & education for people with chronic health conditions, seniors, paediatrics, women's health & disability. Our team of Exercise Physiologists have done 4-6 years of study at University to learn about how Exercise can be used to manage and improve various chronic health and lifestyle conditions. In addition, we undertake ongoing professional development to ensure that we are up to date with current research - this ensures that we provide the most appropriate exercise to our clients according to their particular health situation and goals. Whilst yes, we are all about attaining results, we also treat every person with kindness, empathy warmth and understanding. We ensure a non-intimidating environment to ensure each person feels comfortable when engaging in exercise. We Also provide Home Visit services for those with mobility issues.

🏋‍♀️ There is a lot of talk about exercise for improved BONE STRENGTH at the moment, and we are here for it!

Our exercise physiologists are experienced in providing up to date and evidence-based exercise programs to help improve our bone strength, balance, mobility, and fitness 💪

Whilst our peak bone density is reached approximately between the age of 25-30, it is never too late to improve our bone strength, and whilst early intervention is best, exercise can be effective at ANY age, especially if it is individualised! It's never too late to make a positive difference.

Resistance training and weight bearing impact exercises are great forms of exercise to help with bone strengthening.

HOWEVER, I would like to remind everyone that programs need to be individualised to suit the person.

We have many clients who also have joint pain or other symptoms such as incontinence. So high impact exercise isn't always friendly for everyone. We also need to incorporate appropriate strength exercises to support our joints, and we often need to work on our pelvic floor and core before we go jumping everywhere!

So please don't stress! If you keep reading about needing to lift heavy weights, or do lots of high impact exercise such as jumping, but you live with joint pain or Pelvic floor problems, we can tailor an exercise program to suit you and your symptoms! It is possible to work on your bone strength without increasing pain and pelvic floor symptoms.

Our exercise physiologists are here to help! And we have also created a program called, The Bone Lab!

Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that makes movement and mindfulness accessible to everyone, no matter your age, mobility, or fitness level.

It uses the support of a chair to help you safely build strength, balance, and flexibility, while reducing stiffness and improving posture.

This exercise is perfect for seniors or anyone with limited mobility, people returning to exercise after injury or anyone who wants to move, stretch, and feel good in a supportive space.

🧘‍♀️ Want to give it a try? Chair Yoga runs on Wednesday at 10:30am, and Friday at 10am and 11am!

So many people, especially women, have feared strength training in fear that it will make them bulky. This is in fact false! And in fact, lifting heavy weights (suitable to the individual) is highly recommended. It takes a specific type of strength training program to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Lifting heavy weights is fantastic for us, and is recommended for all ages and stages. On this, please remember that we can modify our exercise and build intensity over time if we carry injuries or mobility restrictions.

So, lifting moderate-vigorous intensity weights will help with:

✔️ Our bone health and bone density
✔️ Our blood sugar management
✔️ Our weight management & body composition
✔️ Our muscle tone
✔️ Our mental health
✔️ Our ability to perform activities of daily living

The recommendation for strength/resistance training is a minimum of two days per week.

If you're not sure where to start, especially if you're carrying injuries, aches or pains, or medical conditions, seeking exercise education and programs from an exercise physiologist can be super helpful.

We are here to help if you need it! 💪 💙

📣 Speaking Up for Exercise Physiology and the NDIS 🫶

This morning, I had the opportunity to meet with The Hon. Dr Gordon Reid MP to discuss the current review of the NDIS by the NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee.

If the Committee is not satisfied that Exercise Physiology is effective, offers value for service, cannot be substituted by other supports, and leads to greater independence - they could recommend that EP no longer be compensable under the NDIS.

That’s not something we’re willing to stand for.

Dr. Gordon Reid MP was incredibly supportive of our cause and expressed a genuine willingness to help demonstrate the proven efficacy and value of Exercise Physiology for people living with disabilities and neurodiverse conditions.

A big thank you to Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) for their guidance and support in preparing for this week’s important engagements, including my interview with ABC Central Coast earlier today.

Stay tuned for more updates next week, when I’ll be sharing an open letter explaining what this review means for participants, carers, and providers.

If you follow Conveniently Active, this issue could affect you, and we’re committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. 💪

When we put stress through our bones, whether that’s lifting weights or jumping, the body responds by strengthening those bones to handle the load.

If you’re living with osteoporosis or other health conditions, exercises must be tailored to your abilities and gradually progressed. That’s why we started The Bone Lab.
