Exercise for Chronic Illness

We provide Exercise Physiology services for people living with Chronic Illness. Chronic illnesses are long term conditions with ongoing effects. We are often able to better manage, improve and sometimes even prevent the onset of chronic health conditions- this is what we try and help our clients to achieve!

If you would like to see us to better manage your Health Condition, your first step will be to organise an Initial Assessment with one of our knowledgeable Exercise Physiologists. During your initial assessment, your Exercise Physiologist will undertake an initial assessment, where they will get a better understanding about your health conditions, your goals and your current baseline capacity. They will then create you an Exercise Plan that is specific to you and your needs.

We understand that Exercise can be very daunting for many people who live with Chronic Health Conditions. However, we ensure that each and every person who walks through our doors is welcomed with warmth, understanding and empathy. Our goal is to get you moving better, but to not push beyond your limitations.

Every person's exercise program will look a different depending on their medical conditions, symptoms and current fitness levels. But overall, improving our strength, balance, mobility, flexibility and endurance is important for the management of most health conditions and we are here to help you navigate where to start, or how to improve.

Rhiannon was bright and vibrant which meant it was soooo good going to the Gym each day on a rehabilitation program. Her results were amazing and I thank her for her persistence in getting me back on my feet to now being able to represent Australia in my chosen my sport.
I loved the variety & many changes to my gym sessions that mad each day go by so easy. Rhiannon's' ability to get me motivated of which was the hardest thing - as I required so much help to get through each day.

I am a Service Veteran who has had a lower back and posture problem for several years now. My GP referred me to Rhiannon of Conveniently Active twelve months ago and I have been seeing her regularly in this time.
The knowledge and experience she has in treating the underlying causes of problems and then prescribing the necessary physical exercises has seen a remarkable improvement in my condition.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Rhiannon to anyone who may require similar treatment both for her methods and caring manner in which she treats her clients.

Hi, my name is Wendy and I am writing this testimonial for myself and my younger sister, Kristie who has a disability. A few days before the 29th June 2018, my doctor made an appointment for myself and Kristie and said we 'had to go'. At the beginning, i was not sure if I really wanted to begin a weight loss journey or even increase my bodily movement. After visiting Rhiannon on the 29th, I figured that I would do the core exercises and stretches given to me, but that they would not do much at all. Fast forward two months and after at the next appointment with Rhiannon, Kristie and myself had lost two centimeters and two kilos. This was GREAT news for both of us. This was the start of my weight loss journey and the start of a new lifestyle. Kristie and I both walk every morning before food and do our exercises most evenings. With the ongoing support and assistance from Rhiannon, I have lost 14 kilos to date and 5 centimeters. Kristie has lost 14 centimeters and 6 kilos. We will be continuing to visit Rhiannon in the following year, with mum and will be updating this testimonial every so often. We cannot thank Rhiannon enough for her help and support and recommend her services to as many people as possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
