With a Masters degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, I specialise in exercise prescription for clients of all ages and fitness levels including those with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight/obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, mental illness, back pain, musco- skeletal conditions and postural issues.
The concept of exercise as medicine forms the cornerstone of my exercise physiology practice as it is overwhelmingly proven through scientific research that consistent exercise is essential to preventing and in assisting in the treatment of most chronic health conditions and essential for continued wellbeing. My mission is to achieve positive health outcomes through safe, scientifically based, and professionally monitored exercise programs.
What is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist?
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (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. Pathology domains covered by the services of AEPs 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.
