Exercise Physiology
Exercise Physiologists (EPs) are University qualified Allied Health Professionals. As such their studies are heavily based on science and human science such as the studies of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and the effects of disease/injury on the body.
Exercise Physiologists clinical and treatment knowledge is developed from the immense amount of research literature on the effects of exercise and disease, making them the go-to health professional for implementing exercise for disease and injury management, rehabilitation, treatment and prevention. EPs are not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ exercise professional.
EPs are recognised by Medicare, Private Health Insurers, DVA, NDIS and CTP/WorkCover NSW. EPs must be registered and accredited through the national body – Exercise and Sports Science Australia. The name ‘Accredited Exercise Physiologist’ (AEP) and ‘Exercise Physiologists’ (EP) are interchangeable.
