About Us
Immune Exercise Physiology (EP) specialises in exercise prescription and education to people with chronic, complex, autoimmune disease. At Immune EP we offer more than just exercise. We provide community, education, and empowerment. We understand the barriers associated with engaging in exercise and have developed our services to specifically overcome this.
We offer a range of consultation options to suit the individual circumstances of our community. We facilitate this by providing individual and group telehealth, in-home consultations, and community forums, all in the convenience and comfort of your own home. At Immune EP we value the conservation of energy and time, and believe that exercise and movement should be apart of your lifestyle. It should be convenient, enjoyable, and realistic - for you.

Telehealth-supervised exercise
Telehealth-supervised exercise is a type of exercise physiology service that is delivered via video conferencing software (Zoom). Zoom is free to download, easy to use, and available on all smart phones, tablets, or computers. We will send you a Zoom link to your email address or mobile phone, and all you will need to do is click the link to access the video call. The exercise physiologist will work directly with you to design a customized program based on your specific needs and goals, and provide virtual guidance and instruction from in real-time, allowing you to receive the benefits of in-person therapy from the comfort of your own home. This type of service can be particularly useful for people who find it difficult to travel to and from a clinic, live remote, or are immune suppressed.

In-person supervised exercise (home visit)
In-person supervised exercise refers to an exercise physiology service that is delivered in-person, to you in your home or at a local park of your choice, by an exercise physiologist. The exercise physiologist will work directly with you to design a customized program based on your specific needs and goals, and provide hands-on guidance and instruction during each session. In-person supervised exercise is a traditional approach to exercise physiology and is suited to those of you who require or prefer hands-on guidance and face-to-face communication.

Community forum
We are excited to be able to work with a small community of people living with a rare autoimmune disease, and offer a community feel and sense of relatedness and empowerment through our free forum opportunities to connect with others in similar individuals. Our community forum is delivered to you using Zoom video communications. This service is under construction and will be available to you soon. However, for those of you with Scleroderma, Scleroderma NSW offers monthly support groups in Sydney.

Pricing
We understand that speciality and personalised exercise can be costly, and so we encourage and facilitate you to seek financial support through government schemes such as NDIS, my aged care, or Medicare, and determine your eligibility. Through telehealth, we are able to deliver shorter 30-minute sessions which are more affordable and time-efficient. We also offer small-group telehealth sessions (coming soon) at a reduced cost, which give you the opportunity to connect with others and experience the social aspect of exercise.
