TREATING MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS
The health benefits of exercise are widely known, with much to be said about the strength, flexibility and endurance that comes with consistent practice. However, exercise physiology is also a proven treatment for many mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD and more. Here at EPA Health, we provide curated exercise programs, offering a clear path forward in the management of your mental or neurological condition.
Collaborating with other practitioners in your healthcare team, our accredited exercise physiologists create management plans that can also be followed outside the clinic. Through structured home exercise and dietary recommendations, we aim to give you much-needed reprieve from the most negative aspects of your disorder, so you can more easily manage your day-to-day life.
Fitness in general can have far-reaching effects on health and well-being, helping to stimulate positive thoughts, improve body image, boost confidence and more. For more information, contact the team at EPA Health on 1300 869 169.
Assisting With Neurological Conditions
Exercise and movement programs are a proven form of treatment for a range of neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, strokes, spinal cord injuries and more. As neurological disorders often come with an assortment of physical struggles, we aim to increase your strength and flexibility, so you have better control over your body. This is done through careful, consistent and well-planned sessions—ensuring your health and safety throughout the process.
Our exercise physiologists are qualified to deliver safe and effective exercise intervention to improve the clinical status of people living with complex chronic conditions. Not only can physical exercise have a significant effect on one’s strength and physical health—it can also increase confidence and self-reliance.
In the case of strokes, and other neurological disorders, an element of rehabilitation may also be involved. EPA Health can provide programs that are tailored to all aspects of your recovery. Visit our clinics in Queensland or Victoria today.
Let Our Exercise Physiologists Help You
Depression can be a difficult disorder to overcome, as often those suffering from depressive episodes may have difficulty seeking out or keeping up with treatment. However, despite the difficulty involved in getting the ball rolling, exercise offers proven benefits in the intervention of depression—especially as it is a natural, safe and healthy practice.
Medications can also have positive results but often come with considerable side effects. Structured exercise, used in conjunction with other treatments, targets your mood and emotional regulation, while also contributing to your overall physical health and well-being.
Our team can tailor home and in-clinic exercise programs to help you in your management of depression.
Tailored Home Practice
EPA Health provides one-on-one sessions that are curated to suit your exact needs. However, our service doesn’t stop there. We can also tailor home exercise programs to assist you outside the clinic. Our goal is to give you the tools needed to self-manage your disorder in a way that is safe, effective and healthy.
With programs that are carefully tailored to your needs, physical health and lifestyle, EPA Health can help you reach your goals and ensure you feel supported in the process. To get started, visit your GP for a referral or call our team on 1300 869 169. We are here to assist you in the treatment of a wide array of mental and neurological conditions.
