EPs (exercise physiologists) 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.

Physiotherapists are often used in the more acute stages of injury, for purposes of diagnoses and where any hands on treatment that may be required (taping. Massage, ultrasound etc). Physio’s may also include exercise in their treatment; however, Exercise Physiologists specialise in individualization, modification & progression of exercise given a particular disease or disability and in the sub-acute and advanced stages of an injury. EP’s treatment purely consists of the use of exercise, lifestyle change, and self-management techniques in managing injury, disease, disability or a combination of these.

This includes those with acute or chronic injury, neurological conditions, cardiovascular and respiratory issues, mental health conditions, disabilities, and even athletes for sports-specific training and injury prevention.
