Welcome Ryan, Longevity’s new Exercise Physiologist!
Longevity Exercise Physiology Longevity Exercise Physiology Drummoyne, Edgecliff, Marrickville, Bella Vista, Randwick, Pymble, Balmain and Neutral Bay are very excited to welcome our new Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Ryan!
Ryan brings a dynamic combination of experience in elite strength & conditioning environments and a passion for clinical Exercise Physiology. Ryan currently plays AFL for the GWS Giants Reserves side in the VFL and has played for the Sydney Swans Reserves and Werribee FC in the Victorian Football League previously. In these environments he is a sponge, learning from the best strength and conditioning coaches in the country. This accelerated his skills beyond what they teach at university. Many of the principles of training for elite athletes, crossover to training people with chronic conditions and injuries. Everyone has their own movement demands of their daily life, their strengths, and their weaknesses and Ryan can help you address these with careful, evidence-based exercise prescription.
Ryan believes in the notion that ‘Exercise is Medicine’. He believes everyone is indicated for regular exercise but acknowledges the difficulties that most people experience with achieving consistent, habitual exercise.
Ryan focuses on addressing the barriers that are prevalent in the industry, such as ‘running is bad for your knees’ or ‘elderly people are too frail for resistance training’, when in fact it is probably the most important activity that they can do to maintain their health and independence.
Nothing makes him more fulfilled than seeing someone with their personalised goals, commit to our exercise strategy and seeing their results come to fruition. Ryan has experience with musculoskeletal injuries, mental health, cardiovascular conditions, metabolic conditions, elderly populations and behaviour change strategies.
