Gym Rehabilitation for Amputees Through Personal Training & Exercise Physiology
We have a highly experienced team of NDIS Personal Trainers, Exercise Scientists, and Exercise Physiologists who specialise in training individuals with disabilities, including those with amputations.
Losing a limb is a life-changing experience, bringing new challenges and a vast amount of information to process. Having the right personal and professional support network is essential to help navigate this transition, ensuring you feel confident and empowered to move forward at your own pace.

Whether you are returning to exercise with a prosthetic limb, need gait training, or are looking to build physical strength and conditioning, our team provides education, support, and tailored training programs to help you reach your full potential.
