Exercise physiology involves much more than recovering from an injury.

An Exercise Physiologist may assist when a health condition, injury or physical limitation makes it difficult to exercise safely and confidently.

People may seek exercise physiology support when managing:

• injury or changes in physical function
• chronic health conditions
• neurological conditions
• cardiovascular or respiratory disease
• reduced strength, mobility or exercise confidence

Exercise programs are developed according to each person’s health needs, current capacity and individual goals.

Exercise Physiology appointments are available for children, adolescents and adults at our Ashgrove clinic.

We’re very excited to introduce Georgia, our amazing receptionist - who also happens to be an Accredited Practising Dietitian, and to officially add dietetics to the services available at Sunrise Peak Psychology and Allied Health!!

Georgia works with children, adolescents and adults, providing practical, individualised nutrition support without judgement, rigid rules or unrealistic expectations.

She has a particular interest in supporting children and families with:

• fussy eating and feeding difficulties
• ARFID
• food allergies and intolerances
• gastrointestinal concerns
• nutrition challenges associated with autism and ADHD

Georgia also works with adults experiencing concerns such as IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease and diabetes, as well as those wanting to develop a healthier and more sustainable relationship with food.

Her approach is warm, practical and collaborative, with recommendations tailored to the person or family - not simply handed over as another set of rules to follow.

Georgia is now accepting referrals at our Ashgrove clinic.

~ Sunrise Peak Open Day

Our hearts are so full after such a lovely afternoon celebrating our Open Day.

Thank you to our incredible team, our family, our friends and everyone who took the time to come along and celebrate with us.

We feel so lucky to have such wonderful people around us. Thank you for helping make the day so special.

The first week back at school can feel like a whirlwind.

Lunch boxes. Uniforms. Earlier mornings. Homework. Tired children. Tired parents.

If your child seems more emotional, clingy, anxious or exhausted than usual, you're not alone.

Research tells us that transitions place extra demands on children's nervous systems. Even positive changes require adjustment, which is why you may notice bigger emotions after school or at bedtime during the first couple of weeks.

A few things that genuinely help:
✨ Ease back into routines gradually where possible.
✨ Prioritise sleep over perfection.
✨ Keep after-school schedules light.
✨ Focus on connection before solving problems.
✨ Remember that behaviour is often communication.

Most children settle as routines become familiar again.

If worries persist, school refusal develops, anxiety continues to increase, or your child seems overwhelmed for several weeks, reaching out for support early can make a significant difference.

Save this post for the first few weeks back and share it with another parent who might need the reminder.
