YORKE Peninsula Exercise Physiology is expanding.

Owner and clinician Ben Edwards and his team will be offering their allied health services to Maitland and surrounding areas as of Wednesday, April 17.

Consults will take place out of local gym, BodySync, every Wednesday.

Ben said, since starting the business nearly two years ago in his Minlaton clinic, he has been blown away by the support he has received from the community.

“I have absolutely loved helping people in Minlaton and lower YP with all different health concerns and injuries, and I am excited to continue for many years to come,” Ben said.

“However, after consulting with the local GPs in Maitland and Ardrossan, I felt there was a need to bring Yorke Peninsula Exercise Physiology up the coast and provide the service to central and northern YP, as well as southern YP.

“Our focus is to continue to help and provide education on how exercise is the best medicine.

“It has been shown to help all types of injuries and chronic conditions — I have seen that firsthand over the last two years especially.”

Ben said he is excited to continue to help the YP by exposing exercise physiology and the positive impacts it can have on anyone.

“As well as visits to the clinic, we are also thrilled to be offering home visits and telehealth services, which means we can work with people all across the peninsula, including the Copper Coast and remote areas,” he said.

“Anyone can see an exercise physiologist, you don’t need a referral; however, typically we see a range of clients including people covered by NDIS, Sonder, My Aged Care, ReturnToWorkSA, DVA, Medicare and private health.”

Ben has also recently hired a colleague, Claudia, who has a keen interest in health education, musculoskeletal injuries, working with people with disabilities, women’s health and cardiovascular conditions.

“Claudia will also be practising out of Minlaton and Maitland,” he said.

Yorke Peninsula Exercise Physiology will be open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays at 9 South Terrace, Minlaton, and Wednesdays at Maitland in the BodySync Gym, 34 Robert Street, Maitland.
