Exercise Physiology at BeachLife Physio

Introducing ... Exercise Physiology

 

BeachLife Physiotherapy is thrilled to welcome Borja Lorenzo to our team of health professionals for 2023. Borja is our first Exercise Physiologist, and he has hit the ground running!

 

We have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback about Borja’s systematic programming of our Move Well exercise classes, as well as his ability to look at the big picture to construct an exercise routine that factors in ALL the relevant areas that must be considered when designing a truly personalised program.

Borja takes all facets of health into consideration - diet, sleep, stress, injury and comorbidities such as heart disease, neurological conditions & diabetes (plus many more) when designing a program that you can perform in the clinic, at home or at the gym. 

             

What is Exercise Physiology? 

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (EP for short) specialise in clinical exercise interventions for people with a broad range of health issues. Those people may be at risk of developing, or have existing, medical conditions and injuries. The aims of exercise physiology interventions are to prevent or manage acute, sub-acute or chronic disease or injury, and assist in restoring one’s optimal physical function, health or wellness. These interventions are exercise-based and include health and physical activity education, advice, support and lifestyle modification with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change. 

 

Having an EP on board adds another dimension to BeachLife’s ability to keep you strong, healthy and feeling great. 

 

Borja currently works out of our Northbridge practice but given the positive impact we’ve already seen in our BeachLife community we are working towards having exercise physiologists on staff at all 3 of our locations.
 

Borja is available for classes (book in ASAP as they are filling up quickly), one-to-one assessment & exercise programming/planning and one to one exercise therapy.

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
