Mr James Rigby is an Exercise Physiologist based in Tweed Heads South, NSW. His practice is at 1/40-42 Greenway Dr, Tweed Heads South NSW 2486. Day to day, he helps people use exercise in a steady, practical way—especially when they’re not sure where to start or what feels safe.
James focuses on exercise prescription, physical activity counselling, fitness assessments, and nutrition advice. That might sound like a lot, but in real life it usually comes down to simple goals. For example, building strength, moving more comfortably, and creating a plan that fits around work, family, and how busy life actually is.
He works with a wide range of patients and health needs. Many people come in because they want help with long-term health, getting back to movement after time off, managing body weight, improving overall fitness, or feeling more confident exercising. At times, he also supports people who have aches and pains, or who feel nervous about physical activity and need a plan that takes things step by step.
Over time, the aim is to make activity feel realistic. James looks at what you can do now, then helps set clear next steps. This usually includes a fitness assessment to get a baseline, then an exercise plan that makes sense for your current level. He also helps with nutrition advice, because food and exercise often work better together than on their own.
Because people’s health and goals can be very different, sessions are usually built around the person in front of him. Some days that means gentle starting points. Other times it means progressing strength and stamina in a way that stays safe. You’ll often leave with a plan you can actually follow, not something that only works on paper.
Details about education history, research, and clinical trials aren’t listed here. What is clear is the day-to-day focus: helping people move more, feel better, and keep going with the right kind of support.
