Georgia Hardy

Bachelor of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation. Bachelor of Exercise Science (2016).

I am a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Director at Habitual Health Collective in New Farm, also offering Telehealth and home visits. My ethos is to provide support to my clients by developing new and healthy habits to enable them to manage their individual medical conditions in the best way possible.

I believe that exercise can be a gateway to new beginnings in regards to a person’s physical and mental state. I listen to your body and understand your limits, further employing exercise as a medical therapy for the treatment of chronic diseases across all disease stages; prevention, acute therapy, and on-going management.

My interest for EP evolved after personally experiencing poor treatment to my own medical injuries. It was only until I participated in exercise therapy where I understood the true benefits, unlocking my passion and drive to help others myself.

What is Exercise Physiology ?

What is Exercise Physiology?

The aim of exercise physiology is to prevent or manage acute, subacute or chronic disease or injury, and assist in restoring optimal physical function, health or wellness.

Exercise physiologists complete a 4-year bachelor degree and are accredited with Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA).

Exercise physiologists have an in-depth knowledge of the human body and the benefits that exercise can provide, both mentally and physically. They have the ability to prescribe a range of exercises tailored to each individual based on their health condition and goals. Georgia’s main methods of exercise therapy include:

Strength-based exercises (body weight, resistance bands, free weights and machine weights)
Clinical pilates (Reformer and mat work)
Functional movement and postural strength training
Gait and running biomechanic assessments and training
Home and online exercise programming
