Exercise Physiology
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university qualified allied health professional. Exercise physiologists specialise in the assessment, prescription and delivery of safe, effective exercise in the management of a wide range of medical conditions, injuries, disabilities and prevention of chronic disease.
AEP’s utilise their understanding of physiology (how the body works) and its response to physical activity to tailor evidence-based exercise interventions/ therapy for each unique individual. Exercise Physiologists are specialists when it comes to moving safely and maximising wellbeing. EP’s do not take a ‘one size fits all’ approach in their prescription of exercises. The benefit of working with the guidance of an AEP is the collaborative approach to understand you as a person, make a plan and ultimately work to increase movement and activity long term to improve your quality of life.
