Does Any of This Sound Like You?

We work with older adults, NDIS participants, and the families and support coordinators who care for them. If any of the following resonates, you’re in the right place.

  • Wanting to stay strong and independent at home for longer
  • Concerned about falls or losing confidence moving around
  • Managing a neurological condition affecting strength or mobility
  • Living with chronic disease or a physical disability
  • Recovering from surgery and needing structured support to rebuild
  • An NDIS participant looking for a reliable, accredited provider
  • A family member or carer researching options for a loved one
  • A support coordinator seeking a consistent, communicative allied health team

What Life Looks Like With the Right Support Behind You.

When exercise is structured properly around your needs, the changes go far beyond physical strength. Here’s what becomes possible:

  • Moving through your day with more confidence and less worry
  • Staying independent at home for longer without relying on others
  • Reduced risk of falls and the fear that comes with them
  • Stronger, more capable movement for everyday tasks
  • Better energy, sleep and overall quality of life
  • A greater sense of control over your own health and wellbeing
  • Connection with a team that genuinely understands your journey

Making It Accessible

We work with a range of funding options to make sure cost is never a barrier to getting the support you need.

Home Care Package

If you are an older adult with a Home Care Package, Exercise Physiology sessions may be funded depending on your package level and provider. We recommend checking with your package provider to confirm your entitlements.

NDIS

We support both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Exercise Physiology sessions can be funded under Improved Daily Living depending on how your plan is structured. We can help you understand what's available before you book.

DVA

We are proud to support Australian veterans. If you hold a DVA Gold card your sessions are covered for all conditions. White card holders may be covered depending on their accepted conditions.

Medicare

If your GP has referred you under a Chronic Disease Management plan, you may be eligible for up to five subsidised Exercise Physiology sessions per calendar year.

Why Choose Body Mechanics & Function

We understand that choosing the right exercise support is an important decision. Here's what makes BMF different.

Qualified Professionals

All programs are delivered by Accredited Exercise Physiologists with specialist knowledge across aged care, NDIS, neurological conditions and chronic disease management.

Safety First, Always

Every program is designed with your safety as the starting point. We assess your capacity carefully and progress at a pace that feels right for you, never rushed.

We Come to You

Sessions can be delivered in our Cotton Tree clinic, at your home, or out in the community. Whatever environment works best for you, we make it work.

A Small, Nurturing Team

You won't be passed between practitioners or lost in a busy clinic. Our small team means consistency, familiarity, and care that actually feels personal.

We Keep Everyone in the Loop

We communicate regularly with families, carers and support coordinators so everyone supporting you is working toward the same goals.

What Your Journey Looks Like

Step 1

Getting to Know You

We start with a thorough conversation. We want to understand your goals, your needs, your abilities, and any barriers that might affect your program. We review your medical history and assess your movement and functional capacity so we have a complete picture before we build anything.

Step 2

Your Individualised Plan

Based on your assessment we build a program specifically around you. Your goals, your current capacity, and your environment all shape the plan. Every step is clear, achievable, and designed to move you forward safely and consistently.

Step 3

Ongoing Sessions and Support

Sessions follow your individualised plan and are delivered wherever works best for you — in clinic, at home, or in the community. We focus on real functional outcomes, adapting your program as you progress and keeping your support team informed every step of the way.

Step 4

Progress Reviews and Communication

Every three months we conduct a formal progress review to assess how far you’ve come and update your program accordingly. We communicate regularly with your family, carers and support coordinators, and conduct a full case review annually to make sure your program continues to serve your long-term goals.

I have been with BMF for three months now and have been doing one-on-one sessions with Jayrd to achieve my strength and resistance goals. His patience, teaching style, and willingness to listen make the sessions incredibly supportive. I also join Wednesdays a Core and Flow class, Mondays an Osteoporosis class with Stacie and more recently their Open Gym sessions. The Open Gym environment is quieter, not crowded and you follow a program specifically designed for you. Jaryd and Stacie, Exercise Physiologists, make an amazing team. They are supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping their clients achieve their goals. I always feel 100% supported in my training. If you're someone like me living with osteoporosis or osteopenia, I love their small Monday classes which focus on weight-bearing impact, resistance, and balance exercises in a fun circuit-style format that makes training both effective, fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend BMF to anyone wanting to improve their fitness, rebuild strength, or simply start moving again. The programs and guidance they provide are a real credit to them both.

My husband and I have been training with Jaryd and Stacie at BMF for the past four months after dealing with chronic pain and limited mobility. Their expertise has been exceptional. Through their careful programming and consistent support, we have both regained a lot of strength and mobility, enabling us to return to the activities we love.

I have been seeing Jaryd regularly at BMF x 3 months as I have experienced chronic lumbar back pain for many years with little relief from it despite regular walks, stretches, analgesia, chiropractic treatments etc. It had come to the point of considering an invasive medical procedure to manage the pain which had no guarentee of success, and which I didn't want. Aware that I was initially anxious and not trusting my back pain wouldn't be triggered by some of the exercises, Jaryd reassured me and worked with me to a point where I am now experiencing significantly less pain, increased and easier movement, strength and energy. I am also enjoying completing my home exercise plan as well as visiting his gym 1-2 a week Jaryd is patient, inspires trust and very experienced and knowledgeable. He assesses my progress regularly, adjusts my exercise program accordingly which keeps me motivated as well as challenged. Its also great fun! I wish I'd found BMF and Jaryd sooner and can highly recommend him to anyone, no matter your age or problem. I can honestly say my life has changed and will no doubt, continue to improve so I can live life fully. Thank you Jaryd.

We’ve had such a positive experience with BMF! Jaryd has been incredibly supportive of my son, who has additional needs and faces daily challenges. From the moment we walked in, Jaryd has made my son feel welcomed, understood, and respected. He is not only highly knowledgeable but also patient and genuinely invested in helping my son succeed. Jaryd tailors each session to meet his individual needs, building his confidence and physical strength in ways that carry over into everyday life. It’s so encouraging to see my son enjoy his sessions and make real progress, both physically and emotionally. I can’t thank Jaryd enough for the care and dedication he’s shown. I highly recommend this clinic to any families looking for support!

What can I say about Jaryd @ BMF. He is amazing at what he does whether you have injuries, illness or just haven't moved in awhile, Jaryd can help. And what a view to enjoy while moving your body. Oh and don't forget the fun!

Off the back of multiple recommendations, I booked in with Jaryd at Body Mechanics and Function to help with rehab following an L5/S1 disc herniation. From the very first session, it was clear that Jaryd is not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to his clients’ recovery. He developed a personalised, progressive plan tailored to my needs, and within just three sessions, the results have far exceeded my expectations. I’m already feeling stronger, more confident, and well on the way to full recovery. Jaryd is someone I would highly recommend to anyone needing expert, effective rehab support.
