About Health Coaching

Health coaching is a service for people who need to improve their overall health. Health coaching aims to help people change their habits and behaviours to adopt a sustainable healthy lifestyle and improve their overall health. It seeks to increase the person’s knowledge of healthy lifestyle practices. A health coach works with the person to set health goals and develop a plan to reach those goals. If you're searching for a health coach in Wollongong, be sure to contact Illawarra Sports Injury Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre.

Many people know they need to improve their health and fitness levels or lose weight, but don’t know how to go about it. This is where a health coach can be of assistance. Health coaches can provide education, guidance, motivation, accountability and planning for the person to get them started and keep them on track. It can also be useful for people who are afraid or uncertain about exercising due to injury or pain.

Every GP health coaching programme is individually tailored to your patient and their needs and goals. This is developed after the initial consultation. If you'd like to schedule a consultation or learn more about our health coaching, call us on (02) 4283 6566. We also provide general physiotherapy, post-op rehabilitation, pain treatments and more.
