Exercise Physiologist Rachel, with pep in her step

Persistent Pain Exercise Physiology In Toowoomba

Let’s get some pep in your step.

Pain doesn’t have to be constant, or debilitating to be considered chronic or persistent. 

You don’t have to put up with it. And it’s not “all in your head” 

So let’s give your body a break from pain using movement that gives you confidence and gets you back doing the things you love.

Without having to suffer later. 

Yes please!

Are you ready for movement (and life) to feel like a hell yes? 

Exercise physiology for persistent pain is for women WHO:

Are worried about causing a pain flare with exercise

Want to be able to participate in exercise they enjoy again

Are relying on pain medication to get them through their day

Are worried that their pain is permanent and will only get worse with age.

Are feeling weak, unfit and disheartened about starting over

Say no to doing things because or their pain

Are feeling a loss of positive self-identity as a fit and active woman.

Pain can be complex but the solutions don’t have to be.

With persistent pain exercise physiology we’ll get your body moving in a way that doesn’t just feel good, it helps you manage your pain too.

Exercise physiologist Rachel, bent over with a hand on her back and a pained look on her face

Hey, I’m Rach, your exercise physiologist and pelvic floor fanatic

I love the human body.

Specifically it’s ability to change and heal.

Because pain is often not the only sign or symptom letting you know something’s not quite right.

And sometimes I feel like a bit of a detective, putting all the pieces together with you, to solve the case.

Because the body is one connected system, and the clues aren’t always exactly where it hurts.

Kind Words

  • After getting nowhere with other allied health professionals, I found Rachel at Ebb & Flow Exercise Physiology—and it was a game-changer. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for. Rachel’s initial consultation was the most thorough I’ve ever experienced, and that level of detail gave me real confidence that we were finally going to get to the bottom of my concerns.

    What really sets Rachel apart is not just her expertise, but her warmth and sense of humour. She creates an environment that’s both professional and relaxed, which made me feel at ease and actually look forward to each session. And let’s not forget Max and Hugo—her two gorgeous dogs—who add an extra layer of joy to the experience. Their gentle presence and wagging tails always made my day a little brighter.

    I’ve come a long way since starting with Rachel. While I won’t go into clinical details, I feel stronger and more informed than I did before. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and genuinely lovely exercise physiologist

  • As someone who works in the Allied Health Industry myself, when the need arises to refer my clients to other health professionals it is very important to me to have a practitioner I know and trust to look after them.

    Without hesitation I confidently refer them to Rachel as an Exercise Physiologist. I have personally used her services and found her knowledge and techniques brilliant. Her expertise is extensive, and her approach is both professional and welcoming. I thoroughly recommend her.

  • Rachel is fantastic! She is thorough in her assessment and really makes the effort to understand the cause of symptoms where other allied health practitioners have just shrugged it off. Strongly recommend!

    — Annabel F.

  • I can’t thank Rachel from Ebb & Flow Exercise Physiology enough! She truly listened and got to the heart of my issue. Rachel created a simple yet effective individualised exercise program to strengthen my Pelvic Floor, Core, and hip stability, and I already feel confident that I’ll be in top condition for the 100km walk I’m planning later this year.
    Her clinic is warm and welcoming, and her two adorable sausage dogs make the sessions even more enjoyable.
    I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for expert help with core and hip stability. Her approach is thoughtful, professional, and results-driven.

    -Katie Z

  • I have been seeing Rachel at Ebb and Flow for approx 6 months. She provides excellent and easy to understand one on one support. Rachel has helped me understand how specific muscles work and structures my sessions for maximum benefit.
    Additionally she has provided online resources for regular at home exercises sessions for me between one on one appointments.
    Rachel is helping me to improve my health and lifestyle. She also has a vast knowledge of ways to improve women's health.
    I would definitely recommend Rachel to potential clients.

From the floor:

  • My foundational qualifications are a Bachelors degree in Exercise and Sport Science, A Masters in Clinical Exercise Physiology and a Cert IV in Pilates Methodology.

    Since graduating, I have completed many professional development courses focusing on women’s musculoskeletal health and menopause.

    I have owned my own clinic for 6 years where I work with mostly midlife women, who have pelvic floor concerns, persistent pain, menopause symptoms or who want to optimise their health for midlife and beyond.

  • My fees are set based on my expertise, qualifications, and experience.

    I have completed extensive additional training in pelvic floor function, biomechanics and exercise therapy, on top of my post-grad exercise physiology qualifications.

    To learn more about the session prices, duration and inclusions, please click the “Book me in” button below.

  • As an exercise physiologist, I focus on movement, exercise and education to treat or help you manage your symptoms.

    This includes a whole body focus, rather than just looking at the area of concern.

    While it is outside my scope to diagnose or perform manual therapy, I still perform tests, assessments and use my hands to assess or guide you in your movements.

  • An exercise physiology assessment for pelvic floor function involves:

    • A pelvic health screening questionnaire

    • A chat about your life experiences; from sports, to work, to your health history

    • A posture assessment

    • Assessment of pressure management strategies

    • Movement analysis to look for compensations or limitations

    • Assessment of your muscle activation patterns (including breathing and core)

    • Testing of your strength and imbalances

    • A discussion to create a plan that fits your circumstances and your life.

  • No, you do not.

    But you may be able to access a referral from your GP under a management plan if your pelvic floor dysfunction is chronic or you have another chronic condition such as low back pain.

    This would qualify you for up to 5 sessions per calendar year, where you can claim a medicare rebate.
