Rate My Professor Jennifer Woodhouse

Jen Woodhouse serves as a Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Physiology in the School of Allied Health at Murdoch University, where she teaches undergraduate units in exercise science and supervises higher-degree research students. She is affiliated with the Health across the Lifespan research group, focusing on clinical exercise physiology and health promotion. Woodhouse holds a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree from the University of Western Australia, is a member of Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSAM), and is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP).

In addition to her academic role, she is the Director and Senior Exercise Physiologist at Hollywood Functional Rehabilitation Centre (HFRC) in Nedlands, Western Australia. With over 20 years of experience in clinical exercise physiology, she specializes in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, guiding patients to achieve better physical and functional outcomes. She supervises third-year Exercise Sports Science, Physiotherapy, and Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology students undertaking placements at HFRC. Previously, she worked as a Research Associate at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. Woodhouse has co-authored peer-reviewed publications including "Treatment and outcomes for synovial sarcoma patients in Western Australia" (Cancer Reports, 2020), where she contributed validation and writing-review and editing. Other key contributions encompass 10-year outcomes of the Bicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (Journey-Deuce), clinical and magnetic resonance imaging-based outcomes to 5 years after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation to address articular cartilage defects in the knee (American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2011), two-year outcomes of a randomized trial investigating return to full weightbearing after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (2016), and the effect of regular exercise on insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2016). She also published in the Journal of Clinical Exercise Physiology in 2024.
