How can an Exercise Physiologist help?

Accredited exercise physiologists (AEPs) are allied health professionals with university qualifications, specializing in providing tailored exercise interventions. These programs cater to a diverse range of individuals, including those looking to improve their general health or get fitter, individuals managing chronic diseases, individuals recovering from injuries, and for athletes.

AEPs adopt an “Exercise is Medicine” approach to deliver treatment through exercise interventions. Utilizing an evidence-based biopsychosocial treatment framework, they integrate precise clinical exercise prescriptions with lifestyle modifications, goal setting, and ongoing support to empower individuals to achieve their goals.

Consulting with an AEP benefits everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. They can enhance overall health and fitness, aid in the prevention and management of chronic disease, facilitate injury rehabilitation, and optimise athletic performance.

AEPs can tailor exercise interventions for individuals wanting to:

Improve their athletic performance such as improving strength, running, jumping or sports specific performance
Make lifestyle changes such as weight loss or body composition
Recovering from injuries and wanting to return to sport or exercise
