Highly Qualified Stoma Care Exercise Physiologist in Wentworthville
​

Living with a stoma can be challenging, but with the right care and exercises, participants can continue to lead active, independent lives. Holistic Exercise Physiology offers specialised stoma care exercises, delivered by qualified exercise physiologists who understand both the clinical and emotional needs of participants.

 

Whether you’ve undergone a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy, our goal is to support your physical well-being, boost confidence, and promote autonomy in your life. Thus, we work closely with participants and their families to provide individualised care plans that suit personal goals and lifestyles.

 

From managing hygiene and skin integrity to regaining physical strength post-surgery, we’re here every step of the way.

 
What is Stoma Care?
​

Stoma care is the ongoing management of a surgically created opening (stoma) in the abdomen that allows waste to exit the body. Proper care is essential to prevent infections, maintain skin health, and ensure the stoma functions as intended. Our team provides both hands-on exercise support for participants with:

 

  • Colostomies

  • Ileostomies

  • Urostomies

 

We focus on empowering participants with the skills and confidence needed to manage their stoma independently, where possible.

​

Frequently Asked Questions
​
Can my stoma handle light exercises?

 

Your stoma is stronger than you think! After the surgical incision is fully closed, the scar tissue surrounding the stoma reaches its optimum strength over time. We’ll consult with your healthcare provider to verify if you have no complications or if your health professionals have any objections. 

 

Based on the studies, we’ll devise easily manageable exercises. We take your ability into account from day one and level up as it evolves.

 

Should I be concerned about developing a parastomal hernia?

 

Our exercise physiologists work to recommend safe exercises for you so that you don’t develop parastomal hernia, which are usually caused by heavy lifting & strenuous exercises.
