Matt has a long history of involvement in sport. In the 1990’s and early 2000’s he was heavily involved in rowing, living at the Australian Institute of Sport and competing in Australian teams. He then took up mountain bike riding and raced in the 24hr world championships. In 2015 he competed in the Australian team at the Karate world championships (Go-Ju Ryu).
Competing internationally in several sports has given Matt an understanding of movement patterns and how to train the body to do what we want it to do. This has led to a move into Exercise Science. This has been driven by seeing people around him age and realising that there is much that could be done to help people we care about maintain their abilities and quality of life.
Kristy and Matt have been married for 30 years. Kristy looks after all the behind the scenes work of Strength for Living. You may see her when you are training or talk to her on the phone. Feel free to chat with her about your appointments and payments.
An Exercise Physiologist or EP Is a health professional accredited by the national body for Exercise and Sports Science (ESSA). An EP has gone to university for a minimum of 4 years and completed a bachelor's and master's degree. This covers exercise, movement and biomechanics, anatomy, physiology (how the body works and functions), and performance.
Importantly, an EP has extensive training and knowledge around exercise, physiology and a range of pathologies (Pathology is the study of disease and injury). Common pathologies that EP’s work with include diabetes, cancers, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, sarcopenia (muscle loss with age), a range of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes along with anxiety, depression and various types of dementia, including Alzheimer's.
Most of the time, the patients we help have chronic health conditions, and we use our knowledge and skills to implement exercise-based interventions to improve quality of life and help people better manage their health.
Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) is the governing body for all sports and exercise scientists in Australia. For more information see their website essa.org.au
