Meet our Exercise Physiologist Cailyn Murphy

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation
• Accredited Exercise Physiologist accredited with Exercise & Sports Science Australia

I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist graduating from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation. Having grown up with my fair share of injuries I developed an interest in finding out how the body works and why, which is where my passion for holistic care began. I enjoy using a variety of management strategies in my treatment plans and always strive to look at the whole person when working with my clients. In 2021 I started my internship at Functional Fitness Australia where I am continuing to develop my own understanding and learning of functional movement and developmental coaching.

I have experience working with a range of health conditions and populations including musculoskeletal, oncology, diabetes, cardio-pulmonary conditions, bariatrics and paediatrics. However, my true passion is for women’s health. I’m currently specialising in a broad range of women’s health areas, some of the areas I’m experienced in include chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis and PCOS. I also work with clients during pre and post-surgery rehabilitation for patients undergoing laparoscopic excision surgery. I also have an interest in POTS and how exercise can assist in the management of this condition. As someone with a chronic condition, I know how difficult it can be to access care, so my goal is to provide education and improve accessibility to services for people with these types of conditions.

I believe exercise is the best medicine and I also believe there is an exercise modality for everyone. When working with my clients, I individualise their care to be specific, evidence-based, and enjoyable. My goal is to support my clients on their journey by providing them with the education and resources to help manage their conditions or injuries and improve their overall quality of life.

Outside of work, you can find me reading or spending time out in nature.
