What is an Exercise Physiologist?

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP) are recognized allied health professionals with university qualifications. AEPs have the expertise to prescribe targeted exercise interventions for individuals seeking lifestyle modifications, managing chronic diseases, recovering from injuries, or pursuing personal goals. Employing evidence-based practices, AEPs tailor effective interventions specifically to you and your unique circumstances.
