Accredited exercise physiologists on the Gold Coast.
Exercise physiology is the evidence-based application of exercise as treatment — for chronic conditions, post-injury rehab, weight management, healthy ageing and athletic performance. Our accredited exercise physiologists work alongside our physios, podiatrists and your GP team.
What exercise physiology actually is.
Accredited exercise physiology (AEP) is a four-year university-trained allied health profession. AEPs prescribe exercise the same way a doctor prescribes medication — specific dose, specific timing, specific monitoring — for the management of chronic conditions, injuries and health goals.
The conditions AEPs help with are wide-ranging: type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, chronic pain, post-cancer recovery, mental health, autoimmune conditions, post-surgical rehab, sports performance, and healthy ageing. The international evidence is strong — exercise prescribed by an AEP is medicine.
Our exercise physiologists work in our gym and clinical pilates studio alongside the broader allied health team. Most patients access EP services after a physio episode (musculoskeletal rehab progression), through Medicare GPCCMP bulk-billing, or via DVA, NDIS or WorkCover where applicable.
