EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

Our musculoskeletal doctors work closely with our in-house team of Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) to provide a holistic approach to pain management. 

 

AEPs are university qualified allied health professionals equipped with the knowledge, skills and competencies to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective exercise interventions for people with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities.

 

Conditions AEPs treat include cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, musculoskeletal, cancers, kidney, respiratory/pulmonary and mental health, and any other conditions for which there is evidence that exercise can improve the client's clinical status.
