Exercise prescribed as treatment, not guesswork.
Exercise physiology at RedoHealth uses exercise to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease, to rebuild strength after injury or surgery, and to keep you capable as you get older. Josh Gillon is our accredited exercise physiologist at 73 Mullens St, Balmain. You can start directly with Josh or move across from physiotherapy, and he works closely with our physiotherapists to build on their treatment plans.
Sessions are one-on-one in our clinic gym. No referral needed.

All major health funds claimed on the spot01 / About exercise physiology
An accredited exercise physiologist is a university-qualified allied health professional who prescribes exercise as treatment for injury, chronic disease and disability. They assess your health, strength, fitness and movement, then design and supervise a program built around your condition and your goals. Their services can attract Medicare and private health rebates, and you can book one directly without a referral.
At RedoHealth there are two ways into exercise physiology: start directly with Josh Gillon, or move across from physiotherapy when you’re ready. Either way, Josh works closely with our physiotherapists and can build on their existing treatment plans.
Sessions are one-on-one with the same exercise physiologist in our clinic gym, so your technique is coached, corrected and progressed as you go.
Start directly with Josh if you’re managing a chronic health condition, osteoporosis, reduced fitness or deconditioning, or want to improve your strength and overall health. **Move across from physiotherapy** once your initial rehab is done and you’re ready to focus on strength and conditioning.
Your program lives on our exercise app with video, and it is built around the equipment, time and energy you really have.
Josh leads our Refit strength classes and Healthy Bones classes, run as small-group classes in 10-week terms.
02 / Who we help
Exercise physiology is for anyone whose health, strength or confidence would improve with the right exercise, prescribed and supervised. These are the reasons people come to see Josh at our Balmain clinic.

03 / What we do
Exercise physiology at RedoHealth combines a proper assessment, a program prescribed for your condition and supervised sessions in our clinic gym, with everything written down so you can carry on at home. What your program includes depends on your condition and your goals.
We start with your health history, your current activity and what you want to achieve, then measure where you are now.
Your program is built for your condition, your goals and the equipment you have access to, then progressed as you improve.
One-on-one sessions where you learn each exercise properly, with technique corrected as you go.
Progressive work with weights, machines, bands or body weight, which is the foundation of most programs and of the Refit strength classes Josh leads.
Specific work to keep you steady and confident on your feet, at home and out of it.
Exercise prescribed with bone density in mind, including the Healthy Bones classes Josh leads.
See the class timetableEverything you do in the clinic goes onto our exercise app with video, so you know exactly what to do between sessions.
Where it helps, your exercise physiologist coordinates with your GP, specialists, health fund or support coordinator.
04 / Your journey
Exercise physiology can play a role at any stage of the five-stage pathway the whole clinic uses. Some people start directly with Josh, and others move across after physiotherapy, once their initial rehabilitation is done and it is time to rebuild.

Restore function and build capacity.
Get back to doing what you love.
Stay strong, active and independent for life.
Starting directly with Josh: for people managing chronic health conditions, osteoporosis, reduced fitness or deconditioning, or wanting to improve their strength and overall health. Moving across from physiotherapy: for patients who have progressed through their initial rehabilitation and are ready to focus on strength, conditioning and longer-term exercise. Josh works closely with our physiotherapists and can build on their existing treatment plans, and classes carry it on from there.
Book with Josh05 / Your first visit
Your first exercise physiology appointment is 60 minutes. Josh takes your health and exercise history and measures where you are starting from, and depending on your assessment, you may start on your first exercises in the same appointment.
If you are coming under a Medicare care plan, an NDIS plan or a workers compensation claim, bring your paperwork and we will set it up before you start.
We talk through your health, your conditions, what exercise you have done before and what you want to be able to do.
Depending on your condition this may include blood pressure, strength, balance, fitness and movement, so your progress is measured rather than guessed at.
Where your assessment allows, you start on exercises chosen for your condition and learn the technique that makes them safe and worth doing.
You leave with your program on our exercise app, how often to do it, and when we will review how it is going.

An accredited exercise physiologist is a university-qualified allied health professional who prescribes exercise as treatment. That means working with injury, chronic disease and disability, and it is why their services can attract Medicare and private health rebates. A personal trainer is a fitness professional without that clinical scope, and cannot offer those rebates.
