Exercise Physiologist for Seniors Parramatta
No referral needed for private patients
At Tailored Exercise Physiology, we specialise in supporting older adults to move better, stay independent, and enjoy a higher quality of life through safe and effective exercise. Based in North Parramatta, our clinic is quiet, wheelchair-accessible, and equipped with a ramp and disabled access to support clients with all levels of mobility. We provide aged care exercise physiology services across Parramatta and surrounding suburbs including Northmead, Oatlands, North Rocks, Westmead, Merrylands, Harris Park and Granville.
If you’re looking for a trusted and experienced exercise physiologist for seniors, we’re here to help. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to stay active, we’ll design a program that’s right for your age, goals and medical history.
What Is Aged Care Exercise Physiology?
Aged care exercise physiology involves using structured, evidence-based exercise to help older adults maintain or regain strength, balance, mobility and confidence. It is delivered by an accredited exercise physiologist who has specialist training in managing age-related conditions.
Unlike general fitness programs, aged care exercise physiology is clinical and tailored to each individual’s needs. This makes it especially effective for people living with conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Stroke recovery
- Diabetes and heart disease
- Chronic back or joint pain
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Reduced balance and falls risk
- Reduced mobility or frailty
Programs are designed to improve movement, reduce pain, and support better function in everyday tasks whether that is walking, getting out of a chair, or maintaining independence at home.
Support for Families and Carers
If you’re the child or carer of an elderly parent, we understand how important it is to find the right support. Many adult children come to us looking for a professional who can help their parent stay active, reduce the risk of falls, or regain confidence after an illness or hospital stay.
We take the time to involve family where appropriate, keep communication clear and ensure that both the client and their loved ones feel informed and supported. Whether your parent lives at home, in supported accommodation or in an aged care facility, we’ll tailor a plan that meets their needs and comfort level.
Who We Work With
We support seniors across a wide range of settings, including:
- Private patients who want to improve their fitness, strength or mobility – no referral needed
- Seniors managing disability, illness or chronic health conditions
- Adult children seeking trusted support for their ageing parents’ health and independence
- Community-dwelling older adults
- Home Care Package recipients
- Seniors on the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
- Residential aged care residents
- DVA Gold or White Card holders
- Private clients referred by their GP or specialist
If you are receiving home care services or are supported through My Aged Care, you may be eligible to include exercise physiology as part of your package. We also work closely with aged care providers and case managers to ensure our programs are integrated and goal-focused.
Common Goals Our Exercise Physiologists Help With
Every senior has a different reason for starting exercise physiology. Some of the most common goals we work with include:
- Regaining strength after hospitalisation
- Improving balance to reduce falls
- Managing joint or back pain
- Building endurance for walking or everyday tasks
- Returning to gardening, travel or hobbies
- Rehabilitating after joint replacement surgery
- Increasing bone density
- Supporting weight management or cardiovascular health
If you’re unsure where to start, we’ll guide you through a clear assessment process to set realistic, achievable goals.
In-Clinic and In-Home Sessions Available
We see many clients at our clinic at 1 Prince St, North Parramatta, which is fully accessible and quiet. For those who prefer or require sessions at home, we offer mobile visits across nearby suburbs including Westmead, Northmead, Granville, Oatlands and more.
In-home sessions are a great option for seniors who are:
- Less mobile
- Recovering from surgery
- Living in supported accommodation
- Feeling more comfortable starting in a familiar environment
We bring all the necessary equipment and adjust the exercises to suit your space and ability. As confidence builds, some clients choose to transition into group classes or clinic-based training.
Where We Can Also Deliver Our Seniors Exercise Physiology Services
In addition to clinic and home-based appointments, we also provide aged care exercise physiology within:
- Residential aged care facilities
- Retirement villages
- Supported independent living (SIL) environments
- Senior living communities and hostels
We regularly attend aged care homes and support facilities throughout Parramatta and surrounding areas. Whether you’re a family member coordinating care or a facility manager looking to offer on-site services, we can provide one-on-one or small group sessions that meet the needs of your residents.
As accredited exercise physiologists, we are trained to manage chronic conditions, monitor safety, and adapt exercises based on mobility, cognition and functional goals. We work closely with staff and other healthcare providers to ensure consistency and care.
Benefits of Working With an Exercise Physiologist for Seniors
As we age, physical activity becomes even more important, but it also needs to be done safely, with the right level of supervision and structure. As an accredited exercise physiologist for seniors, I provide programs that are:
- Individualised: Based on your medical history, physical ability and goals
- Safe: Focused on proper technique and gradual progression
- Functional: Built around improving everyday movements
- Supportive: Delivered at your pace with a calm, encouraging approach
Our goal is not just to improve fitness, but to enhance your ability to live independently, manage pain, reduce the risk of injury and enjoy life with greater confidence.
