What Is Exercise Physiology
What is exercise physiology?
Exercise physiologists offer very unique skills. We are passionate about exercise, movement, functionality and body awareness. While also being avid promoters of leading an active, empowered and independent lifestyle.
We know not only how good exercise and movement feels, but how necessary it is for maintaining your physical function, that youthful feeling and sharp-mind, and just feeling at your very vital best.
We are the experts in exercise
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university-educated Allied Health Practitioners and comply with professional standards set by Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA). You can learn more about ESSA HERE.
Exercise physiologists are experts when it comes to exercise for beginners and athletes through injury, physical rehabilitation, managing health conditions and all the things life throws at us. We take a holistic yet clinical approach so you can get the most from exercise and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.
We love to work in synchronicity with your other healthcare providers (GP, Specialist, Physio, Osteopath, Chiropractor) to achieve YOUR goals and facilitate your return to optimal everyday living sooner (whatever that looks like for you!).

Unlock the power of exercise to improve your life
As Accredited Exercise Physiologists, we love to educate you on your body, the way it moves, and how this can improve your life in a BIG way. We want to see you doing all the things you want to do in your life—that may be as simple as playing with your kids or getting the housework done. Perhaps it’s running a marathon or getting back into footy or mountain bike riding.
Exercise doesn’t necessarily have to be hard or intense to achieve your health and fitness goals – often, keeping it simple (and functional) is best.
Maintaining physical function is the key to reducing your risk of injury and managing normal physical degeneration (aka aging!) so you can keep on doing all the cool stuff you love to do!
Today, tomorrow….and forever.
Our bodies love to move! They are designed to do it
Let us show you that it’s possible, regardless of your starting point.
