What we do
Exercise physiology assessment and rehabilitation
Individualised exercise programs designed to support injury rehabilitation,
chronic condition management, and long-term strength and health.
Rehabilitation & clinical management
Injuries and chronic conditions are not just managed – each individual’s circumstances are assessed and approaches are adjusted in order to restore performance capacity and capability as much as possible.
Pre- and post-surgery
e.g. cardiac conditions, joint reconstructions, cancer, complex fractures.
Chronic disease management
– exercise physiology is used to treat 9 of the 10 most common chronic conditions in Australia, in addition to helping to manage chronic pain.
Complex musculoskeletal issues
e.g. osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain conditions, lower back pain, pregnancy / post-partum recovery.
Mental health & wellbeing
– selecting exercise therapy that is appropriate for the condition and circumstances to support depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders and general mental wellbeing.
Rehabilitation & functional
capacity for work
Treating individuals and providing education and support to workplaces and industry.
Exercise rehabilitation and progressive return to work – working with the worker, their employer, and their medical and support teams.
Job demands assessment / analysis – helping employers identify fitness levels to keep workers safe, and helping workers prepare for new roles or entry tests to new roles.
Load tolerance – developing physical resilience to reduce or avoid pain and injury.
Training for specific skills / fitness levels – required for professions demanding higher or very specific skills and standards, especially the entertainment industry and emergency services.

“I came to Dominic as my back had been constantly sore from
spondylolisthesis and my posture was getting worse .
Since working with Dominic , my spondylolisthesis has been much more manageable and the lower back pain has disappeared .
“My physiotherapist and chiropractor both mentioned that my posture was much better. I feel stronger and more aligned thanks to the programs Dominic devised.”
Sarah Connor, 56
Performance
Helping people perform to their potential for sports, work, family life and leisure goals.
Athletic rehabilitation – assisting with progressive return to goal activities after injury, or specific strength and mobility training to help people in their goal activities.
Movement efficiency – for reducing the risk or severity of pain and injury, and helping people continue to do their goal activities despite chronic health conditions.
Strength & resilience – developing strength as a base for resilience against pain and injury.
Body management – helping clients to understand their bodies develop strategies to manage chronic illness, pain and injury so they can continue to do the things they need and love to do.

“I tore my medial meniscus January 2025. Dominic immediately adapted my program to suit and aid my recovery alongside my physiotherapy treatment. The exercises were clearly explained, tailored to my needs, and manageable.
“My knee feels stronger, stable and I am running again, pain free thanks to Dominic’s programs. I am now running again with more confidence than I had before the injury.”
Rose Campbell, 53
Healthy Ageing
Exercise to support and manage common age-related conditions to help clients safeguard their health and meet their activity goals. Addressing issues such as:
Perimenopause and menopause – managing fatigue, bone health, cardiac risk factors, and joint and tendon integrity.
Osteopenia / osteoporosis/ osteoarthritis – by addressing biomechanical issues and using strength training methods specifically for increasing bone mass.
Improve balance – reduce falls risk, increase agility and improve mobility through targeted strength exercises, and drills for speed / reaction and proprioception.
Dual-tasking and coordination – through complex exercise broken down step-by-step.
Improve mobility and posture – mobility and posture – for better quality of life and less pain.

“Dominic has tailored my training to adapt to changes in my health over time, helping me maintain strength and fitness for the demands of working with children.
“Dominic’s programs and guidance helped me stay resilient and keep working through setbacks such as respiratory illness and a broken bone in my foot.
“Now in my 60s, the training also provides important mental health benefits. Working in a fast-paced environment that requires constant multitasking can be challenging, and regular exercise supports both focus and emotional balance. The training supports the brain-body connection that helps me with focus, as well as my body awareness – something that does not come naturally to me.”

industry specialty
Working with the arts & entertainment industry
Helping to prepare artists for the physical demands and features of their role or performance.
As many performers extend their careers, we also use exercise to help artists manage chronic illness or injuries, or reduce the risk or severity of illness and injury.
NEW – specialised group sessions
Move Smooth
Achieve more pain-free, confident and useful movement with your body!
The focus is mobility – improving the useful range of motion of a joint, and ensuring there is strength through that range of motion. Other features include muscle balance, while reducing tension.
We take useful features from Pilates, yoga, martial arts and sports training, then utilise them in a small group setting. This allows us to address each individual’s issues with mobility, muscle recruitment, flexibility and pain.
Suitable for those with tight or painful muscles, or movement hesitation (e.g. due to previous injury or trauma).
NOTE – people with dystonia and other neurological conditions may need a higher level of treatment and supervision.
NEW – specialised group sessions
SLO
Stop Looking Old
These small group sessions are specifically tailored for the prevention and management of age-related musculoskeletal and neurological symptoms, including posture, balance and stability, bone density and muscle mass, reactive response, and range of motion.
It’s never too early to start training so that you can stay stronger for longer, and have a body that appears younger.
Sport-specific programs
Rig & Core
Sailing Strength performance programs
We’ve developed a library of training exercises and drills to help both yacht and dinghy sailors improve strength, resilience to injury, and efficiency for better sailing performance and durability. The program addresses common sailing injuries and can be individualised to keep you sailing through chronic illness or injuries.
