Services at Our Gloucester Clinic
How Exercise Physiology Helps
Exercise physiology is treatment through movement. An accredited exercise physiologist (AEP) is university-qualified to prescribe exercise for injury, pain and long-term health conditions, and our AEPs are accredited by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA).
Farm work, long days in the saddle or behind the wheel, and years of heavy lifting take a toll on backs, shoulders and knees. We start with a one-on-one assessment, then build a plan that fits your routine and gets you stronger for the jobs you actually do. Want the basics first? Read what is exercise physiology.
Physio or Exercise Physiologist?
A lot of people in Gloucester search for a physio, so it's worth knowing the difference before you book.
A physiotherapist diagnoses and treats injuries, often using hands-on treatment such as joint mobilisation, massage or dry needling. An exercise physiologist uses structured, progressive exercise as the treatment itself, with a focus on long-term strength, function and managing ongoing conditions.
Kinetic Medicine Gloucester is an exercise physiology clinic. If you're unsure which suits your situation, call us and we'll give you a straight answer, even if that means sending you elsewhere first.

Gloucester FAQs
Where is Kinetic Medicine in Gloucester?
We're inside Gloucester MediCo at 77-81 Denison Street, Gloucester NSW 2422. You can book online or call (02) 6557 7479.
Do I need a GP referral to see an exercise physiologist in Gloucester?
No. Anyone can book directly. A referral is only needed if you're using a Medicare GP Chronic Condition Management Plan or a DVA D904 referral, or if your WorkCover case manager requires one.
Is there a physio at Kinetic Medicine Gloucester?
Our Gloucester clinic is run by accredited exercise physiologists, not physiotherapists. We treat injury, pain and chronic conditions with prescribed exercise. If hands-on physiotherapy would suit you better, we'll tell you.
Can exercise physiology help with farm and work injuries?
Yes. We rebuild strength and work capacity after back, shoulder, knee and hand injuries, and we treat WorkCover NSW claims. The aim is a safe return to the jobs you actually do, not just pain relief.
Is exercise physiology covered by Medicare in Gloucester?
It can be. With a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, you can claim up to five Medicare-subsidised allied health sessions per calendar year. Ask us about any gap when you book.
Do you see veterans in Gloucester?
Yes. Gold and White Card holders can see us with a D904 referral from their GP, and DVA pays the clinic directly for eligible treatment.
Can I do my appointment by video if I live out of town?
Yes. Our Connect Consult runs by phone or video, which suits people on properties around Barrington, Stratford and Craven. Medicare care plan sessions can also be done by video.
