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.

Philosophy

& Ingredients for Success

Whether you are recovering from a personal or workplace injury and looking to achieve or exceed your pre-injury level of health and function, or hoping to excel in your chosen sport, the ingredients for success (motivation, opportunity and direction) remain the same.

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.
