EXPHYS Abstract Accepted for ESSA Activate Conference 2026

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:04:57 GMT

BETTER Health for Women | Health equity is measured by outcomes.

Through the EXPHYS BETTER Health for Women program, women are gaining greater understanding of their health and wellbeing, rebuilding confidence, and connecting with trusted resources.

�� Better support.
�� Stronger understanding.
�� Better outcomes for women.

These outcomes reflect the standard of care required to improve women’s health.

International Women’s Day 2026

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 04:55:10 GMT

International Women’s Day 2026 | Balance The Scales

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate women everywhere, their strength, resilience, and achievements.

For too many women, pain is ignored and care delayed, that’s not equality. Together, we can 'Balance the Scales by creating fair, inclusive systems that support and empower women. ��

Balancing the Scales | Advancing Health Equity for Women

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:04:48 GMT

As International Women’s Day 2026 approaches, we recognise that gender equality must include health equity.

The 2026 theme, “Balance the Scales,” calls for fair, inclusive and accessible systems, including in healthcare, where many women continue to face inequities in chronic pain support and women's health more broadly. Pain is normalised and symptoms are often dismissed.

At EXPHYS, we are committed to supporting women through evidence-based exercise physiology, education and whole-person rehabilitation. We help women manage persistent pain, rebuild strength and confidence, and return to work and life. Health equity means recognising their experiences and providing care that truly meets their needs. ��

Client Story - Rosemary

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 06:43:38 GMT

Rosemary has suffered from persistent pain and was referred to our Pain Science Program. This program uses the modern, scientific understanding of pain to change people's lives. When someone makes sense of their persistent pain, their pain reduces, and their function improves. EXPHYS pain coaches are physiologists with expert pain science knowledge and skill.

"The Pain Science Program helped me understand the science of pain, and knowing this has helped me gain some control over it.

My coach Kelly gave me some great tools to help with my pain. Kelly was extremely encouraging, and I felt very comfortable discussing my pain situation with her. Kelly answered all my questions in a way that I could understand and explained in more detail things that I didn’t understand to begin with. Her empathy and understanding of pain have helped me enormously."

Managing the toll of menopause

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 03:32:24 GMT

This is an important piece of work addressing the impact that menopause has on female workforce participation ��

Misdiagnosed menopause or untreated symptoms can result with woman leaving the workforce, often at the peak of their career.

For example, menopausal symptoms, such as changes in mood, may be incorrectly treated as a primary mental health condition, rather than menopause per se. Menopause itself may not be getting best managed.

A lot can be done to best prepare and support woman during this time in their life.

As part of an expert working group, Dr Vicky Phillips of EXPHYS highlights how exercise plays an important role.

Become your Best Self in 2020 with a Powerful Routine. Our Top 3 Tips.

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 00:09:40 GMT

Holidays are great. We travel, spend time with family, eat and drink a little too much and have time off from work. Getting back into a regular routine after the holidays can be difficult. We also try to add in some hopeful new goals in an attempt to become the best version of ourselves. This could include a focus on better health, advancing our career or spending more time with the people we love. Yet these infamous New Year’s resolutions sometimes may not last past February.

At EXPHYS we understand and promote the power of routine. Our Exercise Physiologists assist our clients with developing a schedule and setting realistic goals to regain daily structure. We help to regain purpose, while remaining flexible and adaptable and being realistic about today’s demands.

Why is Routine so Important?

A consistent, goal-orientated routine gives you the power to achieve what you want in life. A proper routine increases your efficiency, improves mental health, allows time to relax, creates healthy sleep patterns and most importantly, gives us purpose ⁱ . Whilst some people may dread returning to work after holidays, work is one avenue that provides valuable structure and routine. At EXPHYS we recognise the value that good work provides. But it doesn’t always mean paid employment. Work can simply mean something that adds value, structure and purpose to our lives. It’s a reason to get out of bed in the morning!

The Health Benefits of Good Work

The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), and the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AFOEM) have made a connection between health and good work. Their recently released Consensus Statement demonstrates good work is a key determinant of health and wellbeing of employees ⁱⁱ . It simply states that work improves the sense of making a contribution to your family and to society. It gives structure to days and weeks and provides financial security along with social inclusion. Work, in general, is good for our health and wellbeing.

An absence from work on the other hand, either due to injury or unemployment, has many negative effects. It can lead to a loss of confidence, low self-esteem and a lack of identity within the community. This can lead to reduced social participation and a loss of fulfilment and purpose, impacting physical and mental health ⁱⁱⁱ .

EXPHYS are supporters of good work and an initial signatory to the Consensus Statement. As a signatory we acknowledge that good work can play a central role in contributing to people’s health and wellbeing.

How do we build structure and routine?

We know that creating daily routine is essential, but implementing a new routine can be a challenge.

Our top 3 tips to setting a healthy routine:

Develop a schedule. Write down a daily schedule or plan of tasks you wish to achieve each day. Follow this plan to the best of your ability.
Goal setting. Set SMART goals; ensure they are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based. Then set small steps each day to achieve your goals. Remember that a goal without a plan is just a wish.
Be disciplined. Don’t get down on yourself if life throws up the odd hurdle that gets in the way. Recognise what has happened, and then gently but swiftly get yourself back on track.

The EXPHYS Work Spectrum

EXPHYS Exercise Physiologists assist our clients with developing a schedule and setting realistic goals to regain daily structure. We help to regain purpose, while remaining flexible and adaptable and being realistic about today’s demands.

The diagram below summarises our purpose to improve client function in the EXPHYS program. Then transfer this into improved work readiness, capacity and performance. Progressing them along the EXPHYS Work Spectrum and back into a stable, structured environment.

Helping our clients regain purpose by returning to good health and a good routine, including work where possible, is behind everything that we do at EXPHYS®. We also collaborate with other health professionals, such as occupational therapists, rehabilitation counsellors, and psychologists, to create a powerful supportive team approach.

Your 4 Pillars of Health for the Festive Season

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 00:42:43 GMT

As the classic Christmas tune goes… “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” However, when it comes to looking after our bodies, Christmas is a time when we can often fall short of our health goals. With the festive season well and truly upon us, at EXPHYS® we continue our focus to help you achieve optimal health in the holidays.

The Four Pillars of Optimal Health

Most appreciate that nutrition and exercise play a key to overall health. However, when considering our lifestyle in a holistic way, it is important to include these four pillars of health[i].

Sleep
Nutrition
Exercise
Mind (Mindfulness/Relaxation)

Now, let’s reveal our tips to keeping each of these pillars in check over the festive season.

Sleep

Every one of us needs to stop and recharge. It is incredibly important for our health. Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best ways of staying happy and healthy. Poor sleep quality is now considered to be pandemic throughout the world[ii]. Christmas time is no different. As we become busier with social engagements and the pace of the festive season increases, we may pack more into each day and our sleep patterns ultimately suffer.

EXPHYS®’ tips for optimal sleep in the holidays:

Have a regular sleep pattern. Establish a regular bedtime and awakening routine. This repetition will train your body and brain.
Create a good sleeping environment. You cannot make yourself fall asleep. However, you can create the right conditions for sleep. Keep the bedroom dark and quiet and remember to switch off from your phone, laptop and TV.

Nutrition

Many of us can relate to loosening the belt buckle over the Christmas period. It’s one time of the year that even the most focused of us may relax about what we eat and drink. Mostly because there is a wonderful array of temping, not so nutritious, food and beverages around at this time of the year! Good nutrition is important to promote overall health and can still be maintained during the festive period[iii]. It is important to strike a balance between both letting go and enjoying ourselves, but without opening the flood gates.

EXPHYS’ tips to keep nutrition in check this festive season:

Fill half your plate with fruit and vegetables. Take advantage of all the delicious summer fruits and salads that come with the warmer weather.
Alternate your drinks. Alternate one alcoholic drink with one non-alcoholic drink, ideally water.

Exercise

Regular exercise is essential. But once the festive season celebrations begin, it is all too easy to swap an after work gym session with an after work drinks session. The interference with your usual routine makes it very difficult to stay motivated and keep exercise a priority.

EXPHYS’ tips to keep exercise on track include:

Change you exercise goals. This helps you to keep motivated.
Change your normal exercise routine to fun inclusive activities for the whole family. A game of backyard cricket with the kids, or a swim at the beach keeps you active while enjoying the essence of what this season has to offer.

Mind

Relaxation is likely the most undervalued component of health. It is something we tend to fit in when we’ve done everything else. But unfortunately for many of us we never finish our to-do list. It is important we spend time over the festive season recharging the brain’s batteries and pressing the ‘stop’ button.

EXPHYS’ tips to help you relax these holidays are:

Sit down and read that book you have always wanted to, or catch a movie.
Enjoy the outdoors, whether it be in your garden, at a local park or on a bush walk.

Whether it’s fun out in the sun or staying home with family and friends, EXPHYS® wish all our customers and clients a very happy and healthy festive season. We hope it’s filled with quality sleep, good nutrition, plenty of exercise and loads of relaxation.

EXPHYS programs holistically incorporate all four pillars of health. Review our health programs or call us on 1800 EXPHYS (397 497).

The True Power of Words for Health Recovery

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 00:59:18 GMT

‘Cancer’ is one of those words we fear. It can be life changing. Yet we all know someone, directly or indirectly, linked to this disease. So, how do we communicate with someone who has a life changing illness, and implement positive change through the power of words?

It’s not what you say, but what people hear

When it comes to language and communication, the idea is that it’s not what you say, but what people hear. Words could be the difference in someone instantly feeling warm and calm with a sense of safety. Or words can make someone feel withdrawn and intimidated.

With technology our methods of communication are so vast. We have the internet, e-mail, e-news, social media, text messages, all at the click of a button. This should make us excellent communicators, right? Modern technology makes life easy in some ways. But we need to work harder to make sure what we say is being perceived the way we want. When communicating via technology, we lose tone, body language, the ability to show empathy and humility. We are left with written or oral communication which are powerful instruments. But only if this communication is used properly.

Words that harm, Words that heal

The biopsychosocial understanding of health can influence how an individual interprets information. This highlights the concept that words, that if not used effectively, can have consequences on an individual’s health. By understanding the impact our words can have, we can understand how important our role really is in supporting someone who is battling through confronting circumstances.

In their commentary ‘Words that harm, Words that heal’ Bedell et el [i] framed the proposition that

Words used by physicians in an assessment harm some patients understanding of their condition, therefore by replacing words that harm with words that heal, can inadvertently help the healing process immediately.

Impact on Health Recovery

Let’s look at these two ways of communicating to a client diagnosed with cancer, that they are being referred an Exercise Physiologist.

“We are going to have an Exercise Physiologist work with you to help you with your rehabilitation so expect a call to set up this initial meeting. Is that okay?”

“Based on the challenges you’re facing, we are going to provide you with the assistance of an Oncology Exercise Physiologist. They can help you through your recovery. They are experienced and their programs are safe. They’ll collaborate with your cancer support team. They will work with you closely and tailor a specific program to restore your activities of daily living and help build your immune system and reduce your symptoms. This will help you speed up your recovery. There are many benefits to this type of intervention – mentally, emotionally and physically. The aim is to get back to doing the things you enjoy. Is this something you would be interested in?”

Both these statements are fine.

But if you dig a little deeper into the first statement and keep in mind that its sometimes not “what you say but, what they hear”, a client could interpret that with feelings of anxiety and fear. They may not understand why they are being referred, what they are required to do, how much of their time and effort it will take. They may not understand what benefits they will gain, or how exercise physiology can help. These type of thoughts among already tense individuals could be enough to send someone into a tailspin of emotion.

The second statement installs hope, care and warmth among an individual. It is the language that needs to be used, as it is emphasising empathy, comfort, support, confidence, and an explanation in a clear manner.

The Power of Words

From an Exercise Physiologist’s perspective, something verbalised in a negative manner can potentially impact poor sleep habits, rumination, increased cortisol levels (stress hormone), high blood pressure, elevate heart rate, anxiety, and nausea.

Whereas a positive statement can release endorphins (the feel-good hormones), dopamine, reduce stress and anxiety. Most importantly it can make someone feel supported and not alone on their journey. This is the power of words.

How can we change the way we talk to clients to put a positive spin on a conversation, to make an individual feel safe, comfortable and supported?

By initiating positive and simple language, we have the potential to impact recovery for someone dealing with cancer, or any illness. Sometimes the cards we are dealt do not determine the hand we play, but often by shuffling the deck we can change the outcome. They become empowered to accept a challenge, rather than fear the battle.

Next time you have these conversations, understand that the words you speak have the power to implement positive change at a time when people need it the most.

EXPHYS Exercise Physiologists are mindfully aware of the power of words for client health recovery. This is one key principle used across all EXPHYS programs.

EXPHYS provide specialised cancer, persistent pain, mental wellbeing, and fatigue programs. Find out more and refer via our website or call us on 1300 853 345.

EXPHYS Goes Pink! – Supporting Breast Cancer Month

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 01:13:26 GMT

EXPHYS® supports Breast Cancer Awareness through the benefits of Exercise.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual initiative to educate and increase attention on the early detection and treatment of breast cancer. With breast cancer being the most common cancer in Australia[i], this is an important initiative for EXPHYS®. We ‘go pink’ for October Breast Cancer Month and continue to support our clients and customers through our specialised Exercise Oncology Program.

Exercise – benefiting cancer treatment effectiveness and survival rate.

We know that regular exercise is beneficial for good health and wellbeing. For those diagnosed with breast cancer, there are many benefits to targeted and safe exercise during and after cancer treatment, including:

Increased cancer treatment effectiveness[ii]
Increased overall survival rate[ii]
Improved fatigue and energy levels[iii]
Reduced pain and lymphoedema
Improved overall body strength, confidence, mood, depression and anxiety[iv]
Less risk of fractures; as some breast cancer treatments can lower bone density

Of all the lifestyle modifications to reduce breast cancer recurrence, exercise has the most potent effect[v].

Amount of exercise required for maximum results

The ultimate goal is to achieve 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity at least five days of the week, accumulating 150 minutes of physical activity per week[vi]. This includes two to three resistance exercise sessions per week.

However, due to various reasons, this goal is simply not achievable for many people during their cancer care. The shift of focus should therefore be on what can be achieved. Whilst moderate intensity is preferable, if only low intensity exercise can be tolerated, then this is much better than no exercise at all[vii].

EXPHYS®’ Oncology Exercise Physiologists are skilled and experienced to ensure the appropriate individual program is developed for each person. We expertly blend safety, client engagement, and best ‘return on investment’ decision making (both time and effort) for the client, to achieve optimal health outcomes.

A position statement released earlier this year by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), the peak association for exercise physiologists, concluded that there is no exact exercise prescription and total weekly volume of exercise that would be classed as evidence-based for all cancer patients[viii]. It also highlighted that targeted exercise prescription, including behaviour change advice and support, is required.

Factors for determining the type and amount of exercise.

EXPHYS® take an individualised approach to each client, including consideration of:

cancer type/stage
cancer treatment and side effects
precautions and contraindications
exercise history and preferences
functional capacity, and
fluctuating health

Outstanding results by the EXPHYS team.

Our Oncology Exercise Physiologists are achieving some outstanding results that align with EXPHYS’ purpose of Health for Life and Work.

The following are results of EXPHYS’ Cancer Wellness Program. Look at what can be achieved with the right approach:

Increased planned exercise volume by 159%, from levels below that considered ideal, to levels that exceed 150 minutes each week of moderate intensity exercise

Improved upper body strength, including lifting by 56%, pushing by 71%, and pulling by 53%. An improvement in pushing capacity is particularly important for breast cancer as chest strength is reduced.

Improved lower body strength by 125% and 51% across two different lower body functional tests

Improved Mental Wellbeing, by way of improving motivation by 27%, depression by 42%, anxiety by 56%, and stress by 45%

On average across our clients, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress were all mild to moderate at the start of the EXPHYS program, and all improved to normal levels at completion

5 top tips to boost your Mental Health with Exercise

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 02:40:08 GMT

Exercise and Mental Wellbeing

Where exercise was once viewed as a distraction from our thoughts, it is now recognised as an evidence-based, central component to any program for mental health conditions. Exercise is a ‘tool in the tool belt’ for people living with mental health challenges. It is a strategy to manage symptoms, improve physical health, sleep quality, and overall quality of life.

Every year, 1 in 5 Australians will experience being mentally unwell. Those with a mental illness often struggle to engage in their regular work, social and physical activities to the full extent. This further impacts the illness and leads to social isolation.

Why Exercise is Important?

There is mounting evidence that confirms that exercise makes a big difference in mood and promoting positive mental wellbeing, whilst also reducing the symptoms. Exercise, when provided suitably and in a way that is specific and individual to the needs of the client, is an excellent addition to other treatment for the ongoing journey towards good mental health.

Regular physical activity prescribed by an Exercise Physiologist has been shown to:

Improve cardio-respiratory fitness and reduce all-cause mortality risk
Help control weight gain induced by medication
Improve chronic disease outcomes (comorbidities)
Decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety
Improve sleep quality and increase self-esteem
Improve confidence and goal achievement
Create structure and routine

Research on the dose-response relationship suggests that the key is to exercise at least 30 minutes, on three occasions each week ¹ . A ‘daily dose’ of exercise on most days is even better, if achievable. It’s important to find what works for you.

EXPHYS® recognise that everyone is unique, particularly when managing mental health issues. You need someone to partner with, who is experienced, connects with you, and understands what it takes to put you on the right path.

EXPHYS®’ top tips to boost your mental health with exercise

Early intervention is the key. The earlier you can implement a quality exercise plan following onset of mental health challenges, the better. Exercise is of benefit during any stage of the recovery process and EXPHYS® has had great success with clients who have had long-term mental health challenges.
Start somewhere. Any form of exercise and physical activity is better than not doing anything. It’s always worth it. Focus on the positives that you have achieved something, no matter how big or small.
Do more bit-by-bit, day-by-day. Our experienced consultants at EXPHYS® find that gradually building up your participation in planned physical activity is the best. Just like you strengthen a muscle by gradually doing more, you strengthen your mental health by achieving more by gradually challenging yourself. Record your achievements on a calendar. Celebrate them!
Make it fun! Nothing beats the sense of enjoyment.
Set goals and create structure. Set meaningful exercise related goals that link in with your life and work goals.

EXPHYS provides a structured and individualised Mental Health program to help you get control back in your life. Find out more via our website or call us on 1300 853 345.

EXPHYS asks R U OK?

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 02:42:37 GMT

MEDIA RELEASE: EXPHYS’ methodology aligns with ESSA’s updated position on Exercise Medicine for Cancer Management.

Mon, 20 May 2019 02:47:09 GMT

In 2009, Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) first published its position statement on exercise guidelines for people with cancer. Since then, there has been exponential growth in research evaluating the role of exercise in improving the outcomes for cancer patients.

“There has been a real need for a position statement that better translates the increasing body of research evidence into practice”, said Chris Sinclair, Exercise Physiologist and Managing Director, EXPHYS.

“For example, the general guideline of 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week, or 75 minutes of high intensity exercise each week, as interpreted from the previous position statements, is off putting and inappropriate for many individuals that we assist, particularly earlier on in their cancer care”, explained Sinclair.

An update on ESSA’s position statement has been released, through Australian researchers and clinicians. It presents evidence of the benefits of exercise following a cancer diagnosis, and the recommended process for targeted, exercise prescription for cancer patients.

EXPHYS supports the position statement released, as it reflects the increased body of research obtained over the past 10 years. ESSA’s updated position goes deeper into client assessment, determining health issues, identifying client capacity and suitability, exercise prescription, and modification through reassessment. This is consistent with the approach used by EXPHYS.

“We have been waiting for an updated position which also outlines return on investment, both time and effort, for the client and clinician. This is particularly important for someone who has low capacity following cancer diagnosis. If someone can only tolerate 20-minute bouts of physical activity, we know that it is immensely beneficial so long as it is correctly prescribed. The updated position statement goes into this detail”, advised Sinclair.

“We have measured results that show clients who complete the EXPHYS cancer wellness program improve their health, function, and capacity, which flows through to improved life and work performance. This includes improved performance of life activities, physiological measures, strength and endurance, perceived exertion, mental wellbeing, energy, and return to work rates”, said Dr Vicky Phillips, Exercise Physiologist and Director, EXPHYS.

“It’s important an individualised approach is adopted for each person. This includes consideration of their cancer type/stage, cancer treatment and side effects, precautions and contraindications, exercise history and preferences, their functional capacity, along with fluctuating health”, explained Phillips.

“Utilising behaviour change coaching principles, a tailored plan is then developed (and gradually modified) with the client, in conjunction with their daily living performance to achieve their realistic life and work goals”, said Phillips.

EXPHYS’ Online Transformation with COG Marketing

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 01:00:15 GMT

Case Study: EXPHYS’ Online Transformation with COG Marketing

EXPHYS is a national provider of exercise physiology, health, and wellbeing programs, specialising in award-winning, research-backed BETTER Programs for pain, mental health, fatigue, and cancer. Serving the life insurance, workers’ compensation, and motor accident industries across Australia, EXPHYS partners with some of the country’s largest insurers and employers to optimise the health and wellbeing of Australians.

Trusted since 2005, EXPHYS delivers exceptional service, programs, and partnerships. Their commitment to care, innovation, and continuous improvement positions them at the forefront of health and wellbeing programs, leveraging technology and data to deliver measurable outcomes for clients and patients.

As EXPHYS continued to grow, the organisation recognised the need for a modern digital presence that accurately reflected its expertise, programs, and professional brand. That’s where COG Marketing stepped in, providing the strategy and solutions to transform their online presence.

The Challenge

Before partnering with COG Marketing, EXPHYS faced several challenges with its digital presence:

The website did not fully highlight the breadth of services, programs, or client outcomes, making it harder for potential partners and patients to understand the company’s capabilities.
The online brand identity did not fully communicate EXPHYS’s expertise, innovation, and trusted partnerships across the health and insurance sectors.
Digital marketing efforts were limited, resulting in lower visibility, fewer enquiries, and reduced engagement with prospective clients.
Website hosting and email management were handled internally, creating inefficiencies and technical challenges.

EXPHYS needed an integrated solution to modernise its website, reinforce brand authority, and clearly communicate its BETTER Programs and expertise.

The Solution: COG Marketing’s All-In-One Services

EXPHYS partnered with COG Marketing for a complete digital transformation. Acting as their key marketing and business development partner, COG Marketing managed every aspect of their online and brand strategy, including:

Website Design and Development

COG Marketing developed a modern, user-friendly website that clearly showcased EXPHYS’s full suite of services and programs. The website highlights BETTER Programs for pain, mental health, fatigue, and cancer, as well as partnerships with insurers and employers. Case studies and program outcomes are presented in an accessible, engaging way for patients, clients, and stakeholders.

The site is mobile-responsive, fast-loading, and designed to make it easy for visitors to navigate information and connect with EXPHYS’s services.

Branding and Graphic Design

COG Marketing refined EXPHYS’s visual identity to create a cohesive, professional brand across all digital channels. Colours, typography, and graphics were aligned to reflect their innovative approach, trusted expertise, and commitment to health optimisation. The refreshed branding strengthened credibility and ensured consistency across every digital touchpoint.

Digital Marketing Strategy

EXPHYS’s online presence was enhanced through a targeted digital marketing strategy. SEO campaigns improved visibility for key search terms such as “exercise physiology programs,” “workplace health programs,” and “BETTER programs Australia.”

Social media content showcased program outcomes, client success stories, and health insights, while email campaigns nurtured relationships with insurers, employers, and patients, keeping them informed about services and innovations.
