COVID-19 Updates & Announcements

​

We write to you to give you an update on what Enable Exercise is doing to manage challenges relating to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Our management team are monitoring the situation very closely and making decisions on our position regularly. We are making adjustments and creating policies and procedures to reduce the risk of the spread of the virus. However, the growing outbreak means that we need to be prepared to take further preventative action to ensure we are meeting our duty of care to our clients, staff and patrons.

 

What we have done so far?

​

• Updated clients in person and via email about updated policies and procedures surrounding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

• Ensure all therapist and clients wash hands using soap or hand sanitiser before and after the session

• Therapist will be equipped with mask and wipes 

• Finishing ALL sessions five minutes early to ensure proper cleaning of ALL gym surfaces is conducted between sessions with clients, even at home visits.

• We have placed signs around our clinic reminding employees and visitors about hygiene and how to protect themselves and others.

• Limited number of clients allowed in the clinic at one time and kept social distancing of at least one metre in between each person.

• Offering of additional services to our clients including but not limited to;

o   Telehealth - the opportunity to use online platforms to perform sessions with clients.

o   Training of family members/carers to undertake exercises with clients at home.

o   Extended offering of home visits to current clients whom we are seeing at the clinic.

• Taking a no exemption policy for ANYONE staff, student, carer or client who has shown any signs of flu-like symptom, have been overseas in the last 14 days of placement or have been in contact with anyone with COVID-19. 

​

What we ask our stakeholders to do:

​

• Ensure that if any of your clients are sick that you inform Enable Exercise and encourage your clients to do so too and to not attend their appointment.

​

What will do towards the future:

​

•  Maintaining ALL policies and procedures surrounding the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak indefinitely. 

• Regular communications between staff, clients and stakeholders with increased online presence to provide up to date real time information.

• Continuous reviewing and monitoring of the situation at hand and making adjustments to our practice that aligns with the Australian Government and NSW Health Authorities.

​

As this unprecedented situation evolves further, we will continually update you with any additional changes within our business. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you, your teams, family and friends well in this challenging time.

Tips for Getting More Value out of an Exercise Physiology Program

 

Working with an exercise physiologist is one part of a holistic approach to living well. When you make this practice part of your lifestyle, you can complement it with several other ways to encourage health and wellbeing:

• Eat a balanced diet that’s not too heavy on sugars or fats. If you get the energy that you need along with the vitamins and minerals that your body uses to keep going, then you’ll be ready to exercise consistently and reap the rewards. Consult a dietician if you need more help planning a diet that lets you eat foods that you enjoy while getting the nutrients that you need.

• Set and follow a regular sleep schedule. If you’re constantly short on rest, then you’re forcing your body to struggle with the physical activities that you’re putting it through. We recommend getting a full night’s sleep not only before you come in for an appointment but as often as you can. Resting enough every night gives you benefits that accumulate over time.

• If your exercise physiologist provides advice regarding which activities you should be doing between appointments, make sure that you follow through: It’s vital to keep working between sessions, as the benefits improve the more consistently you practice.

​

With these simple steps, you can make the most out of your exercise program. Over time, you’ll feel healthier and more capable of living the life that you want to live.

Prepare for Your Visit to Enable Exercise 

 

Physio might seem daunting or confusing before you start your program with us. Here are a few ways to prepare for your first visit to our location:

• As helpful as the NDIS system is, it can be challenging to navigate the paperwork and eligibility requirements. Our staff is well-trained and ready to help you work through what your program covers and how to unlock those benefits.

• Once you understand the basics of your NDIS plan, then it’s time to see what your eligibility covers. We have different programs in place, so we can find something that works for you and fits within your program eligibility through the NDIS.

• Visualise your goals in advance so that you know what you’d like us to help you achieve. Together, we’ll design a personalised rehabilitation regime that balances your goals with what your NDIS plan covers. You’ll get the help that you need within the coverage that you already have.
