âť“What IS an Exercise Physiologist?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university-qualified health professional who specialises in designing exercise programs to prevent and manage chronic disease, injury, and disability - going beyond general fitness.
âť“How is an EP different from a Personal Trainer?
PTs help healthy people reach fitness goals. EPs are clinically trained to work with people managing health conditions like chronic pain, diabetes, heart disease, mental health issues, and neurological conditions.
âť“Who should see an Exercise Physiologist?
Anyone dealing with: chronic pain or injury, post-surgery rehab, balance & stability issues, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, mental health conditions, or age-related decline.
âť“Do I need a referral?
No referral needed to book directly - but if you have a GP Management Plan (GPMP), you may be eligible for Medicare-subsidised sessions.
âť“Is it covered by health insurance or Medicare?
Yes! Many private health funds cover EP sessions. A GP referral can also unlock Medicare rebates for eligible chronic conditions.
âť“What does a session actually look like?
Sessions are tailored to YOU - could include strength work, balance training, functional movement, rehab exercises, or pain management strategies. No two programs are the same.
❓Can I see an EP if I’m already pretty active?
Absolutely. EPs work with all fitness levels - from those recovering from injury to athletes managing performance or body composition.
