Exercise Physiology

An Exercise Physiologist (EP) is not a physiotherapist or a personal trainer. An EP is an allied health professional that specialises in exercise and movement for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and injuries. Most importantly, they help people move and exercise their way to a healthier lifestyle.

Our EPs are fully accredited with Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) and can provide support for clients with musculoskeletal injuries and conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, mental health problems, cancer, arthritis, pulmonary disease and more.

Exercise Physiology

A consultation can assist with:

  • Overcoming persistent pain caused by injury or overuse.
  • Improving your heart health
  • Rehabilitation following a cardiac event
  • Controlling your diabetes
  • Prevent pre-diabetes from progressing to full diabetes
  • Improve your recovery following cancer treatment
  • Improve your general health and well being
  • Rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries sub-acute or chronic, including, but not limited to arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid), osteopenia and osteoporosis
  • Orthopaedic prehabilitation and sub acute rehabilitation

Accredited EPs are registered with Medicare Australia, WorkCover and most private health insurers.
