Exercise Science
Strength and Conditioning, to prevent injury and improve performance.
At Gen Health Hamilton we are all about helping you move better, feel better, and achieve your goals whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to improve your overall performance.
Exercise Science at Gen Health bridges the gap between where you were before an injury, and where you want to be after recovery. Often, after completing treatment with a physio or podiatrist, your body might not be back to its pre-injury state. This is where our Accredited Exercise Scientists (AES) come in. We work alongside your physiotherapist or podiatrist to continue the progress, helping you to reduce pain, restore function, increase strength, and promote health and wellbeing. But it doesn’t stop there—we go beyond recovery to set new goals, taking you further than you thought possible.
Exercise Science doesn’t just liaise with our rehabilitation services. Our Accredited Exercise Scientists can help boost your performance, Whether you are looking to restore function, enhance your fitness, improve athletic ability, or simply get more active. We assess your body’s mobility, endurance, and strength to create a tailored plan designed to help you meet your specific goals—whether it’s increased endurance, power, or general fitness.
An Accredited Exercise Scientist (AES) works with a diverse range of population groups, including:
It all starts with a conversation – we ask what you want to achieve and why it matters to you.
Next, we assess your body’s mobility – this helps us understand how well you can move and ensures we don’t push your body beyond its limits. These tests are simple, safe, and give us important insights.
From there, we design a personalised exercise plan – based on the results, we’ll include stretches to restore movement and exercises that match your current ability. Whether you’ve been inactive or are looking to improve, we’ll guide you safely toward your goals.
Is it just about strength? Not exactly. Strength involves endurance, power, and the ability to handle physical tasks with ease. Plus, if your goals involve things like speed or stamina, we’ll include cardio training to match.
There are three different options for completing your program – this means you’ll have options that suit your needs, whether it’s working on improving your everyday movement, returning from injury, or pushing towards peak performance. Our pathways offer structured support, so you know exactly where you’re headed and what steps to take next. You can complete your program:
We are also able to create custom group options such as a small group running training or team sessions either in clinic or at your desired location. Email us at community@genhealthhamilton.com.au to explore this option.
