Mental health challenges can cast a shadow over your daily life, robbing you of happiness.
Reclaim your emotional balance with Exercise Physiology. Our expert guidance is designed to support your journey towards mental wellness.
Why is exercise so effective for mental health management?
While we don’t treat mental health disorders the way psychologists do, Accredited Exercise Physiologists in Brisbane can assist in the management of mental health disorders by using exercise as a modality of mood regulation.
Have you ever noticed that you feel better after some exercise? Exercise has consistently shown to increase your ‘feel good’ or ‘happy’ chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin and/or oxytocin. This can help regulate mood and assist managing anxiety, depression and many other mental health disorders.
Additionally, exercise interventions have shown to increase self-confidence, social skills and perceived self-worth, all associated with a reduced impact of mental health disorders.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists can also assist as a part of a mental health treatment team by addressing biopsychosocial factors, behaviours and supporting adaptive attitudes, values and beliefs toward movement and physical activity.
Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists in Brisbane have years of experience prescribing and successfully treating strategic exercise routines as a form of treatment for many mental health challenges such as Depression, Anxiety, Stress-related disorders, Bipolar disorder, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Mood regulation & Intellectual Impairment.
We are the best people to talk to in Australia when looking at exploring exercise as an option for mental health management.

Excellent experience. Joel was really great working with teen with an intellectual disability. He had her engaged the whole time. Would highly recommend.
Have been seeing Joel at EMEP for osteopenia. He and the team are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and very supportive. I would happily recommend EMEP to anyone who is wanting to age well through exercise that is enjoyable.
Sam and EMEP are friendly, professional and just what my 18 year son needs in an exercise physiologist. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He is always happy to see us and eager to help improve my son’s health. Sam’s also been a great support on helping us navigate NDIS. I have no negative feedback to report and we are so thrilled we found such a great fit for our son. Thank you so much Sam. We look forward to working alongside for years to come.

Joel showed me how to safely build strength following an ostheopinea diagnosis and injuries which caused neurological issues. The sessions were fun and I feel confident to challenge my limits and improve my health, fitness and quality of life.

I have found Jack to be very caring and informative I feel very comfortable working with him and have recommended him to several of my friends who are also very pleased.
I highly recommend Sam Bombardieri @ Enhanced Movement Exercise Physiology. I had a recurring issue with my lower back due to poor lifting technique at the gym. After a week of pain/limited movement & no improvement after seeing a physio I went to see Sam instead. He didn’t just treat the injury but also provided a comprehensive exercise plan to prevent future issues. My back pain is now gone, and I have a solid action plan moving forward. Thanks Sam!
I highly recommend Enhanced Movement for people experiencing physical or mental health issues. I have severe PTSD and was agoraphobic (wouldn't leave the house) but wanted to reconnect with exercising but didn't have the motivation or knew where to start.AT EM I quickly felt comfortable in their private clinic and with Joel my exercise physiologist who was very understanding and caring in concern to my mental health challenges. I went from feeling very physically and mentally weak to getting back to lifting weights and feeling strong and happier again.Sometimes the step to better mental health is to start moving your body again, in a safe and supportive environment, that's what happened for me. Thanks EM & particularly Joel 🙂

Thank you EMEP. Jack is professional and most of all listens to my needs!
After having a history of falling my care providers recommend I try an exercise physiologist and it was the best thing over done. Joel has been coming to me for 10 Weeks now and I have noticed a vast improvement in my balance and have not fallen since. I'm still to gain confidence going up and down stairs but I know with continued practice that will come right . Can definitely recommend this company.
I had a muscle spasm in my upper back and Sam helped me with it. Definitely recommend EMEP for fast recovery.
Sam and the team at Enhanced movement exercise physiology were attentive and professional from beginning to end.As a healthcare professional myself I appreciated their attention to detail, and the personalised exercise program for each of my sessions at the clinic.Their new clinic location is convenient to access and easy to find!Would highly recommend this service to my friends and family!
The team at EMEP are simply outstanding. I really like Jack's very straightforward approach to correcting movement patterns. Within three short sessions, Jack has been able to take me to a point where I can comfortably perform squat, deadlift, bent over row at home.What I really like is that Jack is able to come to your residence which works well with my schedule.Thanks Again Jack.
Joel has been amazing to work with! He tailored my workouts to my goals, and I've seen incredible results. His motivation and expertise makes each session challenging and enjoyable. I've gained strength, confidence, and knowledge about fitness. Highly recommend!"
Jack is a very pleasant and positive young man and has nurtured both myself and husband through the eight weeks of exercises . The exercises have improved our flexibility and strength and we will continue with them into the future
Sam, and the team, are professional, responsive and innovating in providing a tailored program to my specific needs. The passion and great new facilities provide a motivating environment to achieve great results.
Sam makes the exercise physiology experience a high impact workout with low physical demands and his results are to be awarded.
Wonderful service and staff. Joel has been professional, caring and friendly. I would 100% recommend.
I would recommend EMEP to anyone who has difficulty with walking or other physical problems. My Physiologist is Joel who has worked with me improving and strengthening my muscles to help me with my walking and everyday life. I was classified as a paraplegic 3 years ago due to scar tissue pressing on my leg nerves. With physio, and rehab I learnt to stand and step. Joel has strengthened me and I can walk with a walking stick and small distances without an aid. I may have around 50 persent feeling from waist down. Joel is a easy going person and has a bit of a laugh with me when I find things a bit difficult when I am learning new exercises, and he always encourages me to push on. Thanking everyone for letting me tell my story and how EMEP has and still is helping me become stronger and a more able bodied person. Love Jill Brain. I am 76 years old. If you need help do not hesitate in contacting EMEP. 😃😃
I had a back injury that came back once or twice a year for over 10 years and my approach to dealing with it has always been reactive. Sam helped me take a proactive approach and taught me exercises and gave me a program to get to a point where I could confidently do weight training again. I feel quite comfortable doing deadlifts and squats for the first time in many years. Very happy with everything that has led to this point and for Sam's expertise and support.
Thanks so much Joel!I really valued your expertize in assessing my age and stage and providing an exercise program that I can work with. The diagrams were well set out, easy to follow and I'm feeling so much better, physically and mentally, since attending EMEP.
I have found the exercises most helpful, achievable with realistic goals. Staff exceptional, very kind and easy to talk to if experiencing any concerns or issues. Extremely professional and genuine with the real goal being about the client. I genuinely feel an improvement with mobility, strength and overall improved health.Thank You to the team for your assistance thus far and look forward to working with you in the future.Warm Regards,Maria
Both the young men who’ve come to help me at home with my mobility ,are delightful. Always pleasant & willing to help. Sam & I have some great discussions while he’s here..maybe to distract me from what I’m doing and Joel who looks way too young but is fully qualified is also very kind & helpful. He speaks so well & is very patient & articulate with demonstrations for my exercises..They both display a level of knowledge & understanding of my physical difficulties that they have yet to feel themselves & show consistent professionalism & compassion as I struggle to keep up with their expectations, with just enough of a little push to improve.I can’t recommend this service highly enough.

I had a wonderful experience with enhanced movement. Joel really listened and understood my issues and now I’m almost 100% back to where I used to be. I’d definitely recommend this place. They truly help you and work hard to achieve your goals. Friendly and not intimidating at all. Really thankful for the experience. Great wholesome business. Big thanks to Sam and Joel ☺️
Joel is excellent to work with, very knowledgeable and professional as well as making you feel relaxed and positive.He provided me with a program that caters to my needs and took the time to explain clearly and demonstrate how to do the exercises. I really like how he changes things up so things don't get mundane. Thanks Joel, you do a fantastic job of caring and guiding me through our weekly sessions.
Sam from EMEP took the time to listen to what my issues were and created an individual plan that suited me and helped me improve my health. He was very professional, supportive and genuinely cared about seeing me improve my health. I would highly recommend EMEP to anyone of any age and fitness level.
Sam has helped my recovery from abdominal surgery so much and strengthening me so I can surf again !! I’m 69 and feeling great !!! This Man is Awesome !!
Same is awesome. I had ongoing back issues before I saw him and they cleared up with his help.
I would highly recommend Sam to anyone. I first met Sam at Insports at Browns Plains, he set up a programme for me and changed me from a 61 yr old lady who was scared to go to the gym to be a confident gym user. Sam is knowledgeable and very patient, he really listens and tailors my exercises to suit me.
I’ve found Sam through one of my clients. Sam is absolutely amazing, he listens to you, ensures you use the right form, always pushes you to do better than the last session. Sam is really a one of a kind Exercise Physiologist- he will make sure you reach your goals and will always encourage you to try something new or hit new PB’s. Since going to Sam, both my client and I have found new confidence and are proud of ourselves for reaching goals we never even thought we could get.No matter how you feel when you walk into a session with Sam. You will ALWAYS leave feeling happy and proud of yourself.I 100% recommend Sam to be your EP anyway.Thanks for the new found confidence Sam😊
Sam is an incredible practitioner, always goes above and beyond for my appointments, will definately see him again soon!
Sam has been a great help in helping my strength and conditioning for my ACL rehab. He pushes me past what I think is possible and shows me what I’m capable of! Sam always takes the time to explain things as much as I need to ensure I understand the benefits in what we’re doing so I get the most out of it. I always leave our sessions feeling powerful and confident in myself & abilities, can’t recommend enough!! ☺️
I highly recommend Sam and the service he provides as an exercise physiologist. Especially people who may have low range of mobility or pain due to an injury.Initially, I searched for an exercise physiologist due to a back injury as I was wanting to rehabilitate my injury and get back to the things I love doing quicker. I came across Enhanced Movement on google and gave Sam a call, I didn’t really have any expectations or understand fully how exercise physiology would help, but after Sam took the time on the phone to get to know me, my injury and explain how he could help, I knew this is exactly what I was looking for.Sam is a very gentle and kind person, who really cares about helping you achieve your goals and become pain free. Sam has provided me conservative movements, that are easy for me to complete with my injury and the range of motion can be adjusted, depending on how I am feeling.I have left my session with Sam feeling really good. Having such a bad back injury at a young age, Sam has provided me with so much reassurance and discussed with me evidence based research about the injury which really settled my anxiety and feelings that I would never fully recover.Thank you Sam at Enhanced Movement, if I could give 10 stars, I would!
I share mutual clients with Sam and have only heard brilliant things about his service. Sam takes a strengths-based, outcomes-oriented approach with every participant and truly cares. Having seen him in action I can vouch that Sam has a warm natured and friendly presence, which is a welcomed trait in the lives of our participants who are often dealing with chronic pain on a day to day basis.
