Let’s Be Real—Walking Into your first Exercise Physiology Consultation

You’re in pain. You’ve tried a physio, a chiro, some stretches, maybe even Googled your symptoms. But you’re still not where you want to be.

And now someone’s told you to see an Exercise Physiologist—but you’re not even sure what that means.

Let’s make it simple. At Move Right EP, your first Exercise Physiology consultation isn’t just another appointment. It’s the start of a complete shift in how you move, feel, and live.

Here’s exactly what happens when you walk through our doors.

🗣️ We Take the Time to Actually Listen

Before anything physical happens, we sit down and hear your story.

When did the pain or problem start?
What have you tried? What helped, what didn’t?
What do your days look like—work, stress, movement, sleep, family?

We don’t rush. Because the better we understand you, the better we can help you.

🎯 We Set Clear, Real-World Goals (That Actually Matter to You)

This isn’t about just “getting stronger” or “feeling better.”We ask questions like:

What would a win look like for you in 6 weeks?
Is it lifting your toddler without pain? Getting through workdays without stiffness? Returning to sport?

Then we create a plan that connects your pain to your purpose.

🧠 We Assess How You Move — Not Just Where It Hurts

Pain rarely tells the full story. That’s why we run you through:

Posture and gait checks
Range of motion assessments
Functional tasks like squats, pushing, lifting
Strength tests (like sit-to-stand, bridges, or light resistance work)
Balance and control tasks

We’re not guessing—we’re tracking how your body behaves under load, movement, and stress.

🛠️ We Give You Answers (and a Plan) on Day One

You won’t leave with a generic sheet of exercises or vague advice. You’ll leave with:

A clear understanding of what’s causing your pain or limitation
An individualized movement strategy
1–2 exercises to begin immediately—tailored to your condition and capacity
Confidence that you finally have a solution—not just a service

💬 Real Talk: It’s Not a Quick Fix—It’s a Smarter One

We’re not here to “crack and send you home.”We’re here to rebuild your movement from the ground up, through consistency, education, and real progression.

Whether you're managing chronic pain, rehabbing post-surgery, or trying to move better with age—this is your place to start again.
