At your initial visit you will undergo a full assessment with one of the Lift Exercise Physiologists.

You will also be provided with some exercises to be doing yourself at home.
Subsequent Visits
At your follow-up visits you will complete an exercise session under the 1:1 supervision of your Exercise Physiologist. This will also be the opportunity for you review your home exercises. If these need to be progressed, your Exercise Physiologist will do this for you during these visits.

Subsequent visits: $105
