What is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise Physiology is still a relatively new profession and as such it is not widely understood. Exercise Physiologists are allied health professionals who have completed a four year degree in Human Movement Studies or Exercise Science. We are specialists in developing and delivering exercise interventions for the management and prevention of chronic dieseses and injuries. These interventions use evidence based methods to encourage and support lifestyle and behaviour modification that is sustainable and not simply a quick fix.

All Accredited Exercise Physiologists must meet strigent accreditation and reaccreditation standards set by ESSA. Therefore you can be assured that when you use the services offered by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist you are getting access to a quality service.
