Telehealth Exercise Physiology
Accessing high-quality exercise support shouldn’t depend on your location, mobility, schedule or ability to attend a clinic in person. Summit Health Group’s Telehealth Exercise Physiology service provides personalised, evidence-based exercise guidance online — allowing you to receive professional care anywhere, anytime.
Telehealth Exercise Physiology delivers the same level of expertise, clinical reasoning and personalised programming as an in-person session, but through a secure online video consultation. Whether you are managing a chronic condition, rebuilding strength after injury, improving mobility, or wanting consistent guidance from home, telehealth provides a flexible and effective way to stay supported.
Telehealth sessions are ideal for individuals who need accessible, convenient and clinically guided exercise — without compromising quality or personalisation.
What Is Telehealth Exercise Physiology?
Telehealth Exercise Physiology involves completing your session online with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist via video call. During your appointment, your clinician guides you through tailored exercises, provides technique correction, monitors symptoms, and adjusts your program as you progress.
You do not need special equipment. Most sessions use:
- bodyweight exercises
- household items for resistance
- simple mobility and balance drills
- functional movement patterns
If you have home equipment such as dumbbells, bands or a treadmill, we incorporate them safely into your program.
Telehealth allows you to access exercise support from your living room, office, home gym, or anywhere you feel comfortable.
Who Can Benefit From Telehealth EP Sessions?
Telehealth is suitable for individuals who:
- prefer exercising at home
- cannot travel to a clinic due to mobility or transportation challenges
- live in regional or remote areas
- want to stay consistent with treatment while travelling
- need flexible appointment times
- feel more comfortable in their own environment
- want guidance for a home-based exercise routine
- live with chronic conditions
- are recovering from injury or surgery
- require ongoing supervision and progression
It is also suitable for older adults, busy professionals, stay-at-home parents, and individuals balancing multiple commitments.
Why Telehealth Works (and Works Well)
Virtual exercise sessions are just as effective as in-person consultations for many goals and conditions. Research shows that telehealth exercise:
- improves strength and mobility
- reduces chronic pain and stiffness
- supports chronic disease management
- improves balance and functional capacity
- maintains rehabilitation progress
- increases motivation and accountability
- offers the same clinical outcomes as supervised in-person care
Telehealth is not a “lesser alternative”—it is a proven, effective delivery method.
What Happens During a Telehealth Consultation?
Your telehealth session mirrors the structure of an in-person appointment, with adjustments to suit the digital format.
Initial Review
We begin by discussing:
- your symptoms
- activity levels
- pain or mobility changes
- daily function
- any challenges with your home program
This helps us tailor the session to your current needs.
Technique Demonstration and Coaching
Your Exercise Physiologist demonstrates exercises on camera and watches your form closely, providing real-time feedback and corrections.
Personalised Exercise Session
Your program may include:
- strength training using household items or bodyweight
- balance and mobility drills
- post-surgery or injury rehabilitation
- chronic condition management exercises
- cardiovascular conditioning
- functional movement training
- flexibility and stretching
- low-impact conditioning
Each exercise is adapted to suit your home environment and equipment availability.
Program Progression
We adjust intensity, volume and complexity to ensure continuous improvement.
Education & Self-Management
You gain strategies to:
- manage symptoms
- pace activities
- improve movement confidence
- stay active between sessions
- perform exercises safely and independently

Proven Clinical Outcomes
Telehealth EP is backed by strong research showing excellent results for many conditions.
Conditions Supported Through Telehealth
Telehealth Exercise Physiology is effective for a broad range of conditions, including:
- osteoarthritis and joint pain
- osteoporosis and bone health
- chronic pain
- diabetes and metabolic conditions
- cardiovascular disease
- respiratory conditions
- neurological conditions (where appropriate)
- mobility limitations
- musculoskeletal injuries
- post-surgery rehabilitation
- deconditioning
- falls prevention and balance training
Programs are carefully adapted to ensure you receive safe and effective care from home.
What Equipment Do You Need?
Most telehealth sessions require very little equipment. Common items used include:
- a stable chair
- wall space
- a towel or cushion
- water bottles or books as light weights
- resistance bands (if available)
- a small step or sturdy surface
Your EP will help set up your space and demonstrate how to use everyday items safely and effectively.
Is Telehealth as Effective as In-Clinic Care?
For many people — yes. Telehealth provides:
- real-time support
- personalised exercise progression
- visual technique coaching
- tailored home-based programming
- ongoing accountability
For clients with mobility constraints or chronic conditions, telehealth often improves consistency and outcomes because the session fits more easily into their lifestyle.
For clients needing hands-on assessment or specific equipment, a combination of in-clinic and telehealth may be recommended.

Older adults benefit greatly from telehealth because it provides safe, guided exercise without the need to travel. We focus on:
- functional strength training
- balance and falls prevention
- mobility and flexibility
- confidence with movement at home
- daily task simulation
- post-surgery progressions
Telehealth empowers seniors to stay active, independent and engaged.
