Fitness & Wellbeing Physiology

Fitness & Wellbeing Physiology is a Canberra allied-health practice supporting people through exercise, education and movement. Its services include exercise physiology, personal training, soft-tissue and remedial massage, injury rehabilitation, sports massage and general health support. The practice also lists assistance for DVA, workers compensation and weight-loss goals.

It is suited to a broad range of clients: people who are physically active, those managing a health condition, anyone returning from injury, or people who want guidance as they begin improving their health. The website identifies clinical interests including knee and hip rehabilitation, mental health, nervous system dysregulation, insulin sensitivity, sleep and behaviour changes, movement and posture, post-operative movement, chronic conditions, asthma, COPD, cardiac health, menopause, neurological conditions, obesity and long-term musculoskeletal injuries.

The practice is led by James Murphy, who combines qualifications and experience in exercise physiology, exercise science, personal training, remedial and soft-tissue massage and sports training. His background includes work with Clinic 88, AIS Basketball, the Magpies AFL women’s team and University of Canberra placements, as well as further study in mental health and complex movement conditions. He also works alongside other health professionals and says he can help connect clients with appropriate care when the practice is not the right fit.

The website gives the location as 40/42 Franklin Street, Griffith, within Fitness Grand, with free parking outside the church and paid parking available at Manuka Medical Centre. For clients in Manuka and across Canberra, it offers a practical setting for one-to-one support across exercise, rehabilitation and massage, with weekday appointments listed on the site.
