Exercise Physiology Services In Burswood

1. What is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise Physiology is a science-based approach to improving movement and function through structured exercise. Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) in Burswood provide evidence-based programs to support rehabilitation, manage chronic conditions, and promote physical wellbeing.

2. How is an Exercise Physiologist different from a personal trainer?
While personal trainers focus on general fitness, Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified health professionals trained to provide exercise for rehabilitation and chronic disease management (for example, diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease). They also support injury prevention, mobility, and create safe, individualised programs for people at different life stages, including pregnancy, older adults, and athletes.

3. Who can see an Exercise Physiologist in Burswood?
Exercise Physiology is suitable for people of all fitness levels and health needs, including injury recovery and post-surgery rehabilitation, chronic disease management, mobility and balance support, pre- and postnatal exercise, and active ageing or fall prevention.

4. Do I need a referral to see an Exercise Physiologist?
A referral is not required to book an appointment. However, if you are accessing Exercise Physiology through Medicare, NDIS, WorkCover, or private health insurance, a referral from your GP may be necessary.

5. Can Exercise Physiology support weight management?
Exercise Physiologists can develop individualised exercise programs that support healthy movement and physical activity as part of a broader weight management plan. They may also work with dietitians or other health professionals to support lifestyle change.

6. Do you offer group exercise classes in Burswood?
Yes, we run small group classes led by Exercise Physiologists, focusing on strength, rehabilitation, and mobility. Introductory sessions may be available for new participants, with terms and eligibility applying.

8. Do you offer private gym sessions in Burswood?

9. How often should I see an Exercise Physiologist?

10. Is Exercise Physiology covered by private health insurance?
Many private health funds include Exercise Physiology under extras cover. Please check with your insurer to confirm your eligibility and rebate details.
