Slavko Saric

Slavko has a particular interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, type 2 diabetes and metabolic health, weight management, strength and functional capacity, chronic disease and chronic pain management.

Rather than focusing on exercise for exercise’s sake, Slavko looks at what movement can help someone achieve in their everyday life.

That might mean rebuilding strength following an injury, improving mobility and confidence, exercising safely with a chronic health condition, managing pain, improving metabolic health or simply becoming stronger and more capable over time.

His experience includes individual exercise prescription and rehabilitation as well as the delivery and management of group exercise programs.

Slavko’s approach to care is collaborative, practical and evidence-based.

He works with each patient to understand their health, current ability, lifestyle and individual goals before developing an exercise strategy that is realistic and sustainable.

Education is an important part of that process. Slavko wants patients to understand why they are doing something, not simply which exercises they have been prescribed.

By combining appropriate exercise prescription with ongoing guidance and monitoring, his goal is to help patients build the confidence and knowledge to make movement a sustainable part of their health.

At Nuevo Medical, exercise is part of the broader picture of health.

Slavko works alongside GPs, cardiologists, dietitians, physiotherapists and other members of the Nuevo team, allowing exercise to form part of a more connected approach to rehabilitation, chronic disease management and preventative health.

For someone living with cardiovascular or metabolic disease, that might mean an exercise program that works alongside their medical treatment, pathology results and nutrition care. For someone recovering from injury or managing chronic pain, it may mean progressively rebuilding strength, movement and function as part of their broader care.

The aim is not simply to prescribe exercise. It is to use movement purposefully to help people build strength, improve function and support better health over the long term.

Outside work, Slavko enjoys staying active and going to the gym, as well as playing and watching sport, particularly soccer.

He also enjoys spending time with friends and family and exploring new places to eat.

Slavko provides exercise physiology and rehabilitation services at Nuevo Medical Bundall, working as part of our broader multidisciplinary healthcare team.

Whether you are recovering from injury, managing a chronic health condition, looking to improve your strength and function or wanting to exercise with greater confidence, Slavko can help build an individualised approach around you.
