What is an Exercise Physiologist?
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP's) are allied health professionals with tertiary qualifications and national registration with the governing body, Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA). AEP's provide exercise, lifestyle and behaviour change, support and interventions to assist in the prevention and management of chronic disease and injuries.

Allied health professionals are health professionals (other than medical, dental or nursing professions) that are university qualified practitioners with specialised expertise in preventing, diagnosing and treating a range of conditions and illnesses.
