• What is an
  Exercise Physiologist?

  Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are University qualified, allied health professionals. They specialise is evidence-based, personalised exercise programs with the overall goal of preventing or managing chronic illness or injury and assisting in achieving your optimal functional capacity, health and wellness. They create programs that are practical and personalised with a home-based component that has a strong focus on successfully changing behaviours for a healthier lifestyle and healthier you.

  An AEP can help by providing motivation and by designing a program of exercise or physical activity, with your input, that is both appropriate and effective, without being scary or impossible to achieve or maintain. The program will take into account your capacity to exercise and any health issues you may have.

  So, they don’t just work with healthy people who want to improve their health and fitness. An AEP can also help you to better manage such health issues as heart, metabolic or neurological disease, musculoskeletal injury and pain, cancer and cancer treatment, kidney and lung disease and mental health, and any other conditions where there is evidence that exercise can help to improve the person’s outcome.

• Personalised
  Service Assured

  Every new client has an initial assessment where their health history and current issues and goals are discussed along with their previous and current physical activity experiences. From there, and this continuing discussion, a plan is designed to help meet the client’s goals in a safe and enjoyable way.

  This may mean a period of one-on-one visits with their Exercise Physiologist or it may mean participating in a group class that meets their needs or a combination of both. We offer both options.

  But be assured, whatever the case, you will be treated as an individual and your exercise experience will be tailored to your individual needs, capacity and interests – nothing else is sustainable and our goal is always to help you make a permanent, positive lifestyle change.
