What are the benefits of seeing an Exercise Physiologist with a DVA White or Gold Card?
Rehabilitation
If you have been a member of the armed services and done your duty for our amazing country, at Totum Health we are forever indebted to you and all of our veterans. No doubt, in the course of your service to our country, you suffered from some type of injury. It might be that you have ongoing arthritis or chronic health issue as a result of your service. We would be honoured to help and offer a fully covered service so that you will never be out of pocket so much as one dollar whilst seeing one of our Exercise Physiologists. We will design and implement a plan, relying heavily on your input whilst taking our client-centred approach, to deliver and support you through a fully customized rehabilitation program.
Knowledge
As university trained professionals with many years of industry experience, we are extremely fortunate to have a tremendous amount of knowledge about the body, it’s connection to the mind and how it is likely to respond to a stimulus. We aim to empower you to understand your body better and how it responds to exercise as a modality of rehabilitation and ongoing wellbeing management. We don’t believe in keeping our knowledge to ourselves, we believe very strongly in sharing what we know and empowering you to make your own decisions about how to manage your health and wellbeing.
Mental Wellbeing
Our team has extensive experience in helping clients with Department of Veterans Affairs Gold and White Cards. As such we have seen the effects that serving in the armed forces can have on mental health. At times there are things that you have probably seen and done that the average person would find hard to comprehend – we’ve heard some stories. One of the most wonderful aspects of a structured exercise program is that is has proven effects of the management of mental health and wellbeing. The complex interplay between the mind and the body when it is moving and engaging in exercise is not yet fully understood, but from anxiety to trauma to depression, a structured exercise program has proven effects in managing mental health and improving your overall wellbeing.
Strength
There is nothing more empowering in this world than to be physically strong. Physical strength improves your world view, your outlook, your desire to take on challenging elements in your personal life and can lead to a strengthening of the mind. There are very few people that would not benefit from an increase in strength and, depending on your age, it will slow the loss of age-related muscle mass loss, a process that effects everyone. Our personalized programs are designed around your current level of capacity and we will work very closely with you to monitor your progress to ensure that you are getting stronger in a safe and controlled way, feeling empowered every step of the way.
Fitness
A very broad term that everyone seems to understand, our definition of fitness at Totum Health is a little different to the standard. When we talk about fitness, we are talking about a whole body and mind fitness that will help you in every aspect of your life. Totum is Latin for whole, so we believe very strongly in improving every element of your life and addressing any issues in your physical, physiological and psychological wellbeing. We hope that, together with heavy input from you through our process of empowering you, we can make improvements in your entire life, giving you the power to tackle life in a more vigorous and confident way.
Totum Health
Our aim is to be the number 1 provider of Exercise Physiology and Personal Training in Australia. This is not a small task – there are a lot of providers across our industry. However, we are attempting something different. There is no Exercise Physiology company that is attempting to establish themselves within a commercial gym. This means that we are able to provide our clients with unrestricted access to the most up-to-date and widest array of equipment and space that any other provider can offer.
