Exercise Physiology
Exercises Physiologists (EP) are University qualified Allied Health Professionals. As such their studies are heavily based science and human science such as the studies of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and the effects of disease/injury on the body.
Exercise Physiologist’s 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. EP’s are not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ exercise professional.
EP’s are recognised by Medicare, Private Health Insurers, DVA, NDIS and CTP / WorkCover NSW. EP’s must be registered and accredited through the national body – Exercise and Sports Science Australia.
