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.
