Background

About Ben Boquest

I am an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (ESSAM), having graduated a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology from QUT, working at Making Strides specialising in neurological rehabilitation. We work directly with clients living with Spinal Cord Injuries, Strokes, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Acquired & Traumatic Brain Injuries, and other neurological conditions. I have a strong desire to enhance the lifestyle of individuals that are injured and strongly believe that Exercise is Medicine! I find it extremely rewarding in providing the basis for my clients to better themselves and enable them to achieve many of their personal goals. I have a holistic approach to exercise with my prescriptions focusing on client goals and needs, to empower the individual physically, mentally, and emotionally.During my university degree at Queensland University of Technology I performed multiple exercise physiology placements and volunteered at several sports science and strength & conditioning academy's (QAS, Brothers RUC, Edge & Epic Coaching) that have provided me with a wonderful skillset to lean on and adapt to many clinical rehabilitation cases. Outside of work I live an extremely active lifestyle. I play AFL at Broadbeach Cats AFC and played Rugby Union at Bond University and Brothers Rugby Club for many years, and am involved in several social sports and activities throughout the week, and love exercising through all forms, land and water! Because of this active lifestyle and love of sports, I have a strong ambition to work further in Sports Science or Strength & Conditioning one day.
