A quiet force for care—grounded in compassion, guided by purpose.

Our mission

Born from lived experience, built to make care visible and accessible.

Visible Exercise Physiology began on Ngunnawal Country, in Canberra, when our founder created a truly inclusive, accessible workplace that supported her own lived experience and those of others with invisible and chronic health conditions.

From the start, our mission has been to provide compassionate, person-centred care to individuals who often struggle to find specialised allied health support—especially those living with rare, misunderstood, or invisible conditions.

We are committed to improving access to online exercise physiology and allied health services for individuals with conditions that are often overlooked or misunderstood by the broader healthcare system.

Many of our clients live with rare, chronic, or invisible conditions, such as symptomatic hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), dysautonomia (including POTS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (also known as ME/CFS), fibromyalgia and more.

Because of the lack of local expertise, many people travel interstate or go without care. We aim to eliminate this barrier by providing accessible, telehealth-based exercise physiology that delivers expert support anywhere in Australia.

Jemima Minto (she/her) | Director and lead exercise physiologist

With eight years’ experience in the fitness industry and graduating as an AEP in 2024, Jemima brings both professional knowledge and personal understanding to her practise.

After graduation, Jemima began her professional journey but struggled to find a workplace that could provide the accommodations she needed to avoid flare-ups and autistic burnout.
