Our passion is making sure our clients move towards their best quality of life, and our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are experienced in designing and delivering safe and effective exercise and healthy lifestyle behaviours for the prevention, management and treatment of a number of chronic health conditions and injuries, as well as improving general health.

Reach out to your local Life Ready Physio + Pilates team to find out if we offer Exercise Physiology near you.

“Exercise as medicine” is also a great way to think of what our exercise physiologists offer. Exercise, whether it be resistance, aerobic, balance, flexibility or other forms of training can be used as a great way to manage and treat chronic and complex conditions such as:

  • Diabetes and obesity
  • Mental health issues (depression, anxiety)
  • Musculoskeletal injuries (pre/post-surgery rehab)
  • Neurological conditions (stroke, Parkinson’s, MS)
  • Aging (balance, falls risk, prevention of muscle and bone loss)
  • Cardiovascular (heart attack, arrhythmias, Hypertension, CVD)
  • Pulmonary (Cystic fibrosis, asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
  • Paediatrics (Cerebral palsy, ADHD)
  • Cancer (delivery of exercise during treatment to aid therapy effectiveness and after treatment to regain function, strength, bone mass, fitness)

Exercise physiologists are able to:

  • Educate clients on health, conditions, injuries, what to do and what to avoid
  • Conduct assessments to recognise individuals abilities, health, fitness, goals, areas to rehabilitate
  • Identify other areas of concern and refer on to other allied health professionals when necessary
  • Treat each client individually- focusing on needs, interests, motivators (can use motivational interviewing and health coaching techniques)
  • Prescribe individualised exercise programs to treat conditions and avoid further complications
  • Provide a rebate if the client is covered for Exercise Physiology by their health fund
  • Provide Team Care Arrangement services with a referral from GP
  • See clients claiming through ICWA, NDIS and others.

Exercise physiologists are unable to:

  • Diagnose conditions and injuries, though they can refer on to physiotherapists, cardiologists and GPs
