Rehabilitation services designed to help you recover from physical injuries and improve wellbeing.
Targeting all aspects of health and wellbeing is important for recovery. Our team of exercise physiologists (EP) are here to support you through a range of services.
Our accredited exercise physiologists provide clinical exercise interventions to improve health conditions, assist in injury rehabilitation and improve quality of life regardless of age, fitness level or health conditions.
Effective treatments for veterans and their family members at Mates4Mates include physical rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, health education, pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation, group fitness activities, movement for mental health, and more, offered both in one-on-one appointments and in group class settings.
Our exercise physiologists will take the time to learn about your health history and any injuries that you’ve previously had or are currently dealing with.
Mates4Mates exercise physiology services are available face-to-face through our centres and via telehealth.

Yes, you will need a GP referral to book exercise physiology appointments. However, you can talk to us about accessing other physical rehabilitation and wellbeing services without a referral, including trauma-informed yoga, group PT classes, cycling and more. All exercise physiology services are available at no cost to you.
There are a variety of reasons to see an exercise physiologist, including if you have an injury, are in chronic pain and unsure how to manage it, you are pre- or post-surgery or have a chronic disease. If you are unsure about how you are moving or feel like improvements can be made, an exercise physiologist can assist with movement assessments and give you feedback and strategies moving forward.
