Acceleration can offer the specialists and expertise in helping people cope with illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, obesity and we can also help people recover from injuries. This takes two kinds of specialties: exercise phsyiology and sports injury rehabilitation.
What is an Exercise Physiologist?
An Exercise Physiologist is a professional who has completed a degree in Applied Science (Human Movement Studies). The Exercise Physiologist is a specialist in exercise rehabilitation, exercise for health and complex medical conditions(i.e. Osteoporosis, Parkinsons Disease, Obesity, and Diabetes), musculoskeletal rehabilitation, work conditioning, Injury Management, Postural Control and improvements in sports performance.

Read this testimonial from one of our clients:
"In the June of 2008 I ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in my knee. It is a devastating injury to sustain because the prognosis is approximately one year of no competitive sport which includes 9 months of intensive rehabilitation following knee reconstruction surgery. Acceleration Australia was highly recommended to me by some team-mates and friends and my physiotherapist endorsed it as being worthwhile to regain muscle strength and proprioception. The programs were very specific to my needs and also incorporated additional work on upper body and core strength. During the school holidays I trained with Acceleration 3 times a week and as I rapidly rehabilitated, the programs kept pace and continued to challenge me. After those holidays I had an appointment with my knee surgeon who gave me the great news that my knee was “stronger than ever” and I was ready to make a full return to sport. This was despite only being 6 months post-operation which is 3 months earlier than predicted. I am now back playing basketball and am a member of the Queensland squad despite the fact that 10 months ago I was told I wouldn’t be ready in time .I still continue with Acceleration who now focus on improving my performance as an athlete. On my return to the game I found my upper body and core strength to be far better than prior to my injury and my knee was no hindrance. I credit Acceleration Australia as being a key factor in allowing me to make a confident and successful return to basketball." Greta
