Movement with support from an exercise physiologist can play a positive role in eating disorder recovery, including re-building strength, improving mental wellbeing, regaining connection with your body, and rebuilding bone strength. An exercise physiologist can help you stay safe while helping you find movement you enjoy, and support your eating disorder recovery.
