What is an Exercise Physiologist?

Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP)

An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a recognised allied health professional (such as a physiotherapist or dietitian) holding a 4 year university degree who applies a scientific evidence based approach to the health, exercise and sports science fields. AEP’s are the most qualified exercise professionals you can use.

They are governed by a professional body – Exercise and Sports Science Australia, (ESSA) requiring members meet strict criteria and are actively involved in continuing professional education.

ABOUT US

Motivation

We provide MOTIVATION and support for patients through a holistic treatment method. We motivate and empower our patients to achieve long term success by involving them in their treatment, encouraging positive changes through the inclusion of patient education and identifying and overcoming potential barriers.

Opportunity

We provide OPPORTUNITY for exercise for those of all ages and abilities, in all environments. Appointments and exercise programs can be home or gym based and can include hydrotherapy. It doesn’t matter if you have a lot of exercise equipment or none at all, we can tailor an exercise program to suit you.

Direction

We provide DIRECTION through applying a best-practice approach to deliver safe and effective individualised exercise programs to those with, or at risk of chronic illness or injury. While our fitness and strength and conditioning services are based on sound scientific and systematic principles.

Additionally, we provide comprehensive direction through all of our programs which include descriptive, customised instructions and clear images displayed as line drawings, colour illustrations, even photographs and videos. This enables you to confidently and correctly undertake your exercise protocol without the need for ongoing supervision.

Helping school leavers transition to adult life. The Man Walk Busselton guest presenter for Monday the 27th is local teacher, writer and runner James Depiazzi.
James is set to talk on his recently published book "150 Life Lessons for Leavers and Life-Long Learners"

James has been writing a diary for most of his adult life. His poems have won numerous prizes and been broadcast on ABC radio. He wrote a popular newspaper column called ‘It Matters To Me’ for several years, and in 2013 he published his autobiography, ‘The Momentous Ordinary’. His one-act play, ‘The Emperor’s New Play’ was shortlisted and performed in the 2016 Shorelines Writing for Performance Festival.

150 Life Lessons for Leavers and Life-Long Learners is James’ latest project. While it is primarily aimed at Year 12 students, the lessons in this book can apply to most people who are trying to ‘adult’ day by day. The official launch of this book will take place at Barefoot Books in Busselton on Sunday 23rd February.
