OUR ON-LINE PROGRAM - ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIA!
Our online program for women’s health exercise physiology can be accessed from anywhere in Australia. These sessions are just a beneficial as face to face sessions and Exercise Physiologists are very skilled at being able to prescribe exercise on-line. It’s a great way to access specialised health services if you are regional, remote or unable to leave your home for any reason.
You can book your sessions at any time we have available, arranged upon booking with our Exercise Physiologist. During your program, you will have a comprehensive Initial Assessment during your first session. During the Initial Assessment, a medical history will be taken, goals set and education provided based on your needs. Depending on your needs an exercise plan may completed with you so you are able to start your exercise immediately or a follow up appointment will be booked to be able to develop your initial exercise program.
Ideally you will meet weekly or fortnightly with your exercise physiologist for the next 2-3 months. This will help you establish a consistent exercise routine, develop confidence in your program and be able to manage your exercise independently. After that you can elect to have reviews every 1-2 months which as usually short 30 minute check ins.
We have 60, 45 and 30 minute appointment options to suit your availability and finances.
We also accept private health rebates for Telehealth sessions as well as a GP referral for a 5 session medicare plan. These schemes provide a rebate on your session.

What exercise needs might I have during Menopause?
During Menopause there are a multitude of body changes, physiologically, metabolically and psychologically that exercise is able to assist with managing, such as:
Vasomotor symptoms - hot flushes and flashes, night sweats and cold sweats
Cardiovascular changes increasing risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure
Bone health changes increasing risk of Osteoporosis or Osteopoenia
Metabolic changes increasing your risk of Diabetes and Insulin resistance, Metabolic syndrome
Lipid profile changes increasing your risk of high cholesterol and hyperlipidemia
Pelvic floor changes increasing your risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and prolapse
Genitourinary changes increasing your risk of bladder and bowel issue, UTI’s and incontinence
Cognitive changes, brain fog and risk of cognitive decline
Mental health changes such as exacerbation of pre-existing depression and anxiety or new onset of depression and anxiety
Joint and muscle changes increasing the risk of muscle has loss, joint pain and Osteoarthritis
These are just some of the main symptoms and impacts of changes in hormone function as females go through Menopause - there are many others. This seems like a long and depressing list right? Not so much - a healthy lifestyle including the right exercise prescription can really make a big difference to your symptoms and also significantly reduce your risk of chronic disease and being unwell or even having a reduced lifespan later in life.
FAQ’s about our on-line program
How often should I come? - As an Exercise Physiologist I know a lot about motivation, commitment and accountability, and I have seen over the years the most successful people in terms of lifestyle change are the ones that give it a good old go. Any less than 12 weeks embarking on an exercise prescribed treatment for any health condition, will not have you seeing any results or changes. You will start to see some after a few weeks but to really allow your body to adapt to your exercise treatment, you need to give it some time. At She Healthcare we understand commitment is hard but our expectation is that you will see your Exercise Physiologist weekly or fortnightly for the first 5 sessions.
What if I am sick and need to cancel my appointment? - We have a 24 hour cancellation policy here at She Community. If you chose to cancel your session within 24 hours, you will be fully charged for the session. If you cancel outside 24 hours, you will not be charged. This includes both small group sessions and one on one sessions. We understand things happen so please do let us know why you are cancelling and an arrangement might be able to be made.
Can I claim any rebates for the sessions? - If you have a private health fund, the majority of them will have coverage for Exercise Physiology. I can provide you with a medicare/private health fund receipt and you can claim your sessions at the appropriate rebate your health fund provides. You can also claim a rebate if you have a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan - you wont likely be able to obtain one for Menopause, but if you have a chronic disease associated with hormone change or any other women’s health issue, you will be able to obtain one on approval by your GP. If you are covered under the NDIS scheme I can also accept participant’s that are self or plan managed - your treatment would need to be applicable to your primary disability.
How and where will the sessions run? - Online via either Zoom or Google Meet. This can be arranged upon booking.
