In episode three, we provide our insight on the extremely important carer-client relationship and we do so after watching the ever-hilarious Fundamentals of Caring. This is the story of Trevor (Craig Roberts) who is living with muscular dystrophy, and his fresh-to-the-job caretaker Ben (Paul Rudd).
We give this podcast the ol’ two-prong attack and concurrently discuss MD as a condition, how well MD is represented in the film and plenty more!
Growing up, sport and physical activity were simply a part of life and not much has changed since. These days you’ll find me in the gym, playing social volleyball, soccer, or out watching the footy. That lifelong love of movement is a big part of what drew me to Exercise Physiology, and it’s something I bring into every session.
I work primarily with neurological and neurodevelopmental populations, including NDIS participants, and I find this work genuinely rewarding. Seeing someone move better, feel more capable, or achieve a goal they weren’t sure was possible is what drives me as an exercise physiologist.
I’m not focused on a particular diagnosis; I’m focused on the person in front of me. We all have things we want to achieve, and sometimes that means overcoming daily frustrations that others might overlook. I believe in listening, then building a specific program for you.
Exercise is one of the most underutilised tools in healthcare, if you’re ready to use it, I’d like to help!
Hi, I’m Benji!
I love being able to use my passion for health, fitness, and exercise to support people in moving and feeling their best. As an Exercise Physiologist, I’m lucky to do this every day. Sport and exercise have always played a big role in my life, with interests spanning cricket, athletics, and cross‑country running. These days, you’ll often find me strength training in the gym, running distances from 5km through to marathons, or taking on the occasional HYROX event.
Outside of work, I enjoy catching up with friends over a great coffee or unwinding by playing guitar.
Before joining Be Physiology, I worked as a strength and conditioning coach and group fitness coach. Since graduating university, I’ve stepped into my role as an Exercise Physiologist and strongly believe that movement is medicine — it has the power to make a real difference for a lot of people. I have a particular interest in neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, but ultimately, I’m passionate about helping anyone improve their confidence, function, and quality of life. I’m excited for what the future holds at Be Physiology.
