Exercise Matters

Fantastic experience: Ebony was phenomenal, really appreciate the expertise and advice. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Exercise Matters is honestly the best. Every staff member provides knowledgeable, friendly and up-to-date practices to individuals in classes, dexa scans and one-on-one appointments.

Fantastic experience: Sven was extremely good. In fact so much so I think I have convinced my friend in Brisbane to visit him. Really evidence based approach and a focus on health and wellness. He was even very courteous despite the fact I was running 5 minutes late!

Fantastic experience: Carl was excellent. This is true preventative medicine at affordable prices. Cannot recommend more strongly using the services this business offers to help motivate and guide you to real health. Plan on being a regular repeat client

Fantastic experience: I recently did a DEXA scan at Exercise Matters with Jarrad and I would definitely recommend checking them out. Friendly and professional service. Results were comprehensive and effectively explained. They really care about their clients and are passionate about what they do. 5/5 :)

Fantastic experience: I did a V02/Lactate test on the bike with Dr Sven as a way of getting some more accurate data to incorporate into my training and racing as a professional athlete. My experience was fantastic and I wish I had of done it sooner. Dr Sven is very passionate & helped break down the data for me in a way that was easy to digest and understand. I will 100% be back and continue to work with Exercise Matters & I look forward to the journey ahead together. Thanks team! Hannah

Fantastic experience: Never in a million years could I have completely understood the benefits of Svens DeXA until I completed one. After 12 weeks of resistance training I could see changes to my body but felt deflated because I’d put on weight and thought I’d been putting on fat as well as Muscle. To my surprise I’d actually lost 5 kg of fat and put on 9 kg of muscle. An outstanding result and with without the Dexa Scan I would NEVER have known the true results of my success. Thanks to Dr Rees for the encouragement and sharing in the positive outcome I achieved through resistance training. I would without hesitation or doubt, recommend EVERYONE embarking on a fitness training regime to undertake a DeXa exam. You wont regret it

Fantastic experience: As both an athlete and a coach i highly recommend having your dexa/RMR or other tests done here. Sven has a lovely well equipped clinic and supersedes any other scan place I have been. He takes time to go through your results and is genuinely interested and excited about the work he does. Very reasonable price for the significantly better equipment he uses. Thank you so much for doing my athlete testing. I always leave your clinic in the most positive headspace. Your energy is infectious.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I are looking into longevity markers and testing our Vo2Max is one way to get a very good indication of our vitality level. We were looked after well by Dr. Sven and his team. The process was well explained and we walked a way with recommendations on how to improve our Vo2Max capacity. I highly recommend everyone to test themselves as it's a brilliant way of seeing if your fitness regime is working or if change and encouragement are needed;-)

Fantastic experience: When my GP gave me the choice between medication for the rest of my life, or physio prescribed weight training I was not impressed. So, somewhat reluctantly I went to Exercise Matters. I was impressed by the neat, clean, beautifully organised "studio", as it is not a gym (they will tell you that:).1 year later I'm so glad I did seek them out. Not only I feel much better, much stronger than previously, but I know I'm in good hands, with my osteoporosis as well as whatever fresh injury I manage to throw into the mix. Jarrad leads most of the classes I attend and I find him knowledgeable, caring and invested in best outcomes for his clients. I highly recommend them, not only you could never achieve on your own with the dumbbells in the garage, or in the gym what these guys will have you achieve in a few months, it is a reassuring feeling to know that whatever niggles you have, they'll take into consideration and alter the workout right there on the spot and tailor it therapeutically just for you. Somehow, this is magically done without disrupting the other clients' workout. I couldn't thank them enough.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Sven’s expertise, my shoulder feels so much better! His professional guidance and treatment made all the difference! I am very grateful, many thanks. Julie

Fantastic experience: From the minute you step in, you can feel amazing already! Sven is an outstanding professional sharing all his knowledge and practice to help you to recover, increase performance, fixing posture or anything related to your body needs .. and honestly, has been a long journey to me and he is always consistent and to the point .. love your work mate and thank you for all your help throughout this delicate process of injuries and rehabilitation. Keep your amazing work and all the best to you and your family.

Fantastic experience: Before visiting Sven 3 years ago I was like an old man getting out of a car. Depressed & drinking too much due to the fact i was unable to do what i wanted Physically. Sven started giving me exercises to recover & regain pain free movement through the realignment of my body. As my strength & abilities returned i was even able take on new pursuits such as Kite Surfing & in my 50’s as well! Sven then gave me very specific exercises in my program to suit the new adventure’s as well as the continued ongoing maintenance. My body still falls out of alignment but each time Sven gives me the necessary exercises to keep me enjoying what i love doing Kitesurfing, Running & walking free from pain. Over a 20yr period I have tried just about every therapy from Massage, Physical, Acupuncture to Bowen but they have only offered a temporary/bandaid relief. Sven has been the only Professional to help me get active & keep me actively fit. I have recommended him to other people & will continue doing so!!!

Fantastic experience: I originally found Exercises Matters as a result of a very positive review left online. My son required intensive treatment and we had tried other Exercise Physiologists and we found they didn't pay attention to detail, my son was bored and didn't look forward to doing his sessions. Sven and his team make exercising fun for kids. He really enjoys going and his strength and quality of life have improved tremendously. Just try them, you'll be so glad you did.

Fantastic experience: Great data in the DEXA Scan. Good for anyone wanting to measure changes in body; fat mass, muscle mass and bone density. Quick and easy process with Sven.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I visited Exercise Matters with Sven and honestly such an insightful visit. We both thought that we new what our body composition was at but once Sven took us through the DEXA scan and explained it we really had to adjust what we were doing in our nutrition. Great team and high quality facility!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! A Tri malleolar fracture in my ankle after a fall mid 2021 is how I found myself coming to meet Dr Sven Rees at Exercise Matters. At the 12 week mark post surgeries, & after my first Bone Density scan it was discovered I had Osteoporosis. When I started my rehab journey with Sven I was nervous & apprehensive as I was in a world of pain from the plate and screws in my ankle and had very little range of movement. I also had never fully recovered from shoulder surgery years prior so another thing to tackle. Quietly and gently Sven encouraged me without being pushy to keep coming and would adapt sessions to accommodate & this is how I have managed to consistently show up for the first 2 years twice a week & this my 3rd year, 3 times a week. A year ago, Jarrod joined the team & has been absolutely amazing & helped keep the motivation going which is not an easy task! His fun energy is contagious so helps us get going at those early bird classes, improving balance & lifting weights I never dreamed of. I've since had issues in other parts of the body along the way, as is what happens as we age but honestly without this team at Exercise Matters I wouldn't be where I am today, not pain free but so much stronger & confident I won't have another fall. You just need to put in the time :) Give them a call you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Sven via personal recommendation after a being hit by a car which left me with a tibial plateau fracture, a lot of metal in my leg/knee and with a quite long road to recovery ahead. My consults with Sven are via zoom as I live on the other side of the world. We started sessions quite soon after the injury when I was not allowed any weight on my leg and could barely bend my knee. With Sven’s help and a tailored program of exercises that I can do at home with minimal equipment, and which we review every single two weeks, I am now back to riding a bike, walking almost normally, doing most everyday things, even starting to run a little bit. Any medical professionals I see on this side of the world tell me progress could not be better. I still have work to but would not be any where near as far in my recovery without Sven’s help. And on top of this, Sven is a lovely person, focused on what you can/will be able to do, not what you can’t do right now. I can’t imagine anyone better to help you in any kind of recovery or return to health.

Fantastic experience: As a result of having experienced a few minor fractures, one in the foot, the wrist, and the odd toe, it was suggested by my GP to go for a bone density scan, not having had a scan for the past 24 years! The result: osteoporosis in the lower spine and osteopenia in the left hip. Dubious about using any medical interventions (tablets or injections), I opted to try out this weight-bearing and resistance exercise program. Since joining this program in 2021, and attending 2 x 45 minute sessions weekly, the results of a recent DEXA scan has shown improvement in both my bone density and muscle strength with no medical intervention. Thank you Dr Sven & Jarrad . . . I am forever grateful to be able to continue your professionally supervised, thorough and fun sessions. What a fabulous team!

Fantastic experience: Sven and his team have been looking after me ever since I arrived at their practice three years ago on crutches with a stress fracture and the realization that my bones were not as good as I had thought. A program tailored to my needs and regular exercise have helped me get back on my feet. Last year I was hoping to go on a long walk but 2 months before my planned departure disaster struck and I injured my back, resulting in severe back pain. Sven again helped me with his expertise and encouragement to pursue my goal and against all odds I managed to complete my 800 km walk across Spain. I am extremely grateful for the amazing expertise, the expert knowledge and the continued care which I have received from Sven and colleagues. They are the best!

Fantastic experience: Since my rehab journey began with Sven Rees, my recovery and strength has got better with every session and now I can continue doing all the activities I enjoy without residual pain or discomfort. I recommend anybody serious about training out of an injury to start that journey with Sven. I wasted so much time with bad advice from other health/rehab providers. Sven has the knowledge and the facilities to train you back to good health and movement. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending Onero classes at Exercise Matters since 2021 and together with Actonel have progressed from osteoporosis to osteopenic in this time. The 45 minute classes are twice a week with help, encouragement and patience from Sven and Jarred. We also have fun! Highly recommend. Robyn Scott

Fantastic experience: I had a major stroke 2 years ago. Part of my rehab was undertaking an extensive exercise programme, Sven guided me through this and continues to so with great success, I am almost completely back to my pre stroke capabilities.... Thank you Sven, your work is very much appreciated

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending group sessions at Exercise Matters for over 3-years. The sessions are excellent, I’m pushed to help me achieve my goals in a very supportive environment. And I have a lot of fun too! My fitness has improved thanks to Exercise Matters.

Fantastic experience: A big thanks to Sven and Jarrad, Exercise Matters, for the care and attention at each of my sessions. Both post op and pre op exercises have given me the ability to resume my swimming fully. As a sufferer of arthritis, I understand the need to exercise, even though painful. I have noticed an improvement in my strength, balance and mobility by regularly attending weekly sessions which are fun and challenging at times.

Fantastic experience: Too soon to tell only a consultation. Original review. Oh wow since this early review, my physical and mental co ordination has vastly improved. Attendance to this Physiologist clinic was post a brain tumour operation result of a fall. I didn't realise the effect of a brain injury even though it wasn't malignant, on both physical mobility & mental resources until attending this clinic. But particularly Sven Rees the 'boss' has been very helpful in sorting my problems out. Also his newer co Physiologist Jarrod Greentree has been very encouraging. As I recently turned 80 but feel about 70 my balance has continued to improve and so have my cognitive skills. Very pleasant atmosphere & clean well outfitted surroundings.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the Onero Classes for three years and I cannot speak highly enough of this practice. Both Sven & Jarrad are delightful, highly competent & caring exercise physiologists who make the classes fun. The programmes are individualised for every participant and the classes are small. My bone density markers have improved and my back misses them when I’m on holidays!I can thoroughly recommend Exercise Matters.

Fantastic experience: Five stars - Dr. Rees and his team are simply the best! Dr. Rees tailors each session to my needs on the day. His positive attitude and attention to detail really is helping me cope with my chronic conditions. If you're looking for someone who knows his stuff and a supportive environment, I can't recommend Dr. Rees and his team highly enough.

Fantastic experience: After a ski accident, i could not sit down at all without pain, now after , incredible guidance from DR Sven, i can sit down on a hard seat for as long as i need to, with no problems at all. A gifted Dr Sven. What a Gem Dr Sven, Best Regards, Jake.Smith.

Fantastic experience: Love that I've found Exercise Matters in the coast! I don't consider myself a fitness guru by any stretch, but I wanted to get clear markers on where my body composition has been over the past year as I make my way into my 40s and try out different approaches to health and fitness. Sven's brilliant equipment (*so much data!*) and his really clear expertise in this area has had me return regularly and come away with clear advice and motivation each time. Am already booked in for my 4th visit! Highly recommend whether you're a novice or a pro in this space.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending Exercise Matters for 2 years as part of their group EP program. I've had lower back pain for as long as I can remember and while I'm pretty active, my muscle mass has been below average and this was a concern going into menopause. This is what brought me to the program. I attend twice a week and I have progressively been getting stronger and building muscle. My lower back pain has reduced considerably which is a big bonus. I feel a lot stronger. The program is based on robust theory and as well as all the technical stuff it's a fun place to exercise. Jarrad and Sven tailor the program to your individual needs, they're very approachable and there's good music and good company, so you don't feel like it's a chore. Highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Sven is treating me for shoulder bursitis. He is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The whole process is extremely streamlined and advanced, making following your prescribed recovery exercises and schedule very easy. Exercise Matters is top class.

Fantastic experience: 5/5 I can’t begin to express the complete holistic program I get. Sven is amazing he looks at all aspects of my health and wellbeing. My health has had a few curb balls and Sven never gives up on me. Sven finds solutions and then we tackle the challenges together. I would recommend Exercise Matters to anyone. My son also attends Sven once a week to assist in achieving his sports goals.

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased to write this review for Dr Sven Rees. I have been a client of Sven for four months and am impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and the level of care expertise that I have received. Sven has a wealth of experience and was able to quickly identify the root cause of my balance, posture, strength and movement problems. He has been instrumental in developing a personalized treatment plan that has helped me make significant progress in improving my all the problems he has identified In addition to his technical skills, he has a caring approach that has made me feel comfortable and confident in the exercises he plans for me to do on the day. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions, and Sven has been very supportive throughout the process. I feel grateful to have found such an excellent physiologist and would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: My little girl with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy has been attending Exercise Physiology sessions with Dr. Rees for a couple of months now and she finds them very enjoyable and fun. We have also noticed a big improvement in her function on her affected side during this time. She is now much stronger on her affected left side, her fingers on her left hand started to work for the first time ever and she learned how to throw a ball with her left hand and plans on mastering monkey bars on the playground for her next challenge, all the activities she thought were out of reach for her. I highly recommend this practice for kids and adults with CP, Dr. Rees' knowledge and experience are second to none, and his ability to challenge and motivate my strong-willed pre-schooler to achieve her goals while keeping the sessions lighthearted and fun is absolutely amazing!

Fantastic experience: After Breast Cancer surgery, radiation therapy, osteoporosis diagnosis, and a fall that resulted in a broken upper arm leaving me with bursitis, I was suffering from muscle tightness, shoulder pain and general upper body weakness. I don’t want to take pills, BUT, I wanted to have an active, healthy and pain free body? I had tried many other therapies without satisfaction when a friend recommended Dr Sven Rees who is an Exercise Physiologist. Now, 12 months later, after initial individual sessions, with homework, I attend twice weekly 40 minute group sessions, right here in Noosaville. Sven is always on hand to monitor my activity. Exercise IS the NEW MEDICATION that works for me A HUGE THANK YOU SVEN

Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Very professional, and highly supportive. Was referred after spinal surgery to aid recovery, and return to work, and got so much more. Almost 40 kilo's lighter, and the fittest and strongest I've felt in 20 years. Can't thank you enough. :)

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, the only person i'd trust to assist with my rehab after breaking my ankle. Extremely professional and supportive during the whole process. The best I've seen.

Fantastic experience: Dr Sven Rees has a warm approachable manner & is incredibly supportive to help reach my health and fitness goals. Highly recommend him.
