Exercise Physiology
Clinical exercise programs designed and supervised by Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) to help you recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, and perform at your best.
What is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise Physiology is the clinical use of exercise as medicine.
Unlike general fitness training, exercise physiology focuses on safe, evidence-based programs that take into account your medical history, current capacity, and long-term health goals.
- Clinical oversight for complex or chronic conditions
- Programming integrated with your physio and GP
- Objective measures and gradual load progressions
- In-clinic, gym-based, or home exercise options
Who is it for?
- Injury rehab (spine, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle)
- Chronic conditions: type 2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, obesity
- Pain, de-conditioning or limited mobility
- Return-to-exercise after surgery or illness
- Sports performance with medical-grade programming
What do sessions involve?
- Comprehensive assessment (movement, capacity, risk)
- Tailored plan with clear progressions
- Technique coaching & load management
- Digital home program and review checkpoints
- Team approach with your physiotherapist & GP
