Musculoskeletal support
Start with what hurts, what changed and what you want to get back to.
Whether the concern is arthritis or knee osteoarthritis, hip pain, preparing for or recovering after joint surgery, back pain or returning after an injury, the first step is to understand the person and their current starting point.
Before or after surgery
If knee or hip surgery is planned or has already happened, include the prehabilitation, rehabilitation or specialist guidance you have. The team can check the appropriate timing and pathway with you.
Back pain or returning after injury
Tell Avanti what movement is currently difficult, what has changed since the injury and the everyday activity you want to return to. The program is planned from assessment, not a generic exercise list.

Questions
Caloundra EP questions
Yes. Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified allied health clinicians who plan exercise around health conditions, injuries and disability - not generic fitness programs. Sessions are matched to your assessment, goals and funding pathway.
Programs are planned from your assessment and adjusted with you as you go. Tell the team about any worries up front - pacing is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Start with an enquiry. Avanti will confirm the service, location, funding option, and whether an appointment or class is the right next step. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
Many people use NDIS, a Medicare referral, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds. Which applies depends on your situation and the service - tell Avanti what you have and they'll confirm it with you.
Fees depend on the service and your funding pathway. Tell Avanti your funding type in the enquiry and they'll explain the relevant costs up front.
