Exercise Physiology Crestmead
What is an Exercise Physiologist?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university-qualified allied health professional specialising in designing, delivering, and evaluating safe and effective exercise interventions. These interventions target individuals with acute, sub-acute, or chronic medical conditions, injuries, or disabilities. AEPs are trained to address a wide range of health issues, including cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, musculoskeletal, cancers, kidney, respiratory/pulmonary, mental health, and other conditions where exercise is proven to enhance clinical outcomes.

What is the Difference Between an Exercise Physiologist and a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists typically provide more hands-on treatments, making them suitable for the initial stages of your therapy. They focus on alleviating pain, improving mobility, and addressing acute issues.
Once your condition is stable, Exercise Physiologists step in to design exercise-based interventions that help you return to your daily activities and manage your condition over the long term.
While both professionals aim to enhance your physical health, their roles are complementary, with physiotherapists handling early-stage treatment and AEPs focusing on long-term rehabilitation and maintenance.
Who Should You See?
Early-Stage Treatment
Start with a Physiotherapist for hands-on treatment and initial rehabilitation.
Ongoing Rehabilitation and Long-Term Management
Transition to an Exercise Physiologist to continue your recovery, maintain your progress, and manage your condition effectively.
By combining the expertise of both physiotherapists and exercise physiologists, you can achieve comprehensive and continuous care tailored to your unique health needs.
