Exercise Physiology Services In Murdoch

1. What is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise Physiology uses evidence-based exercise to support movement, function, and overall health.
Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) in Murdoch design structured programs that assist with rehabilitation, chronic condition management, and 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:

• Develop exercise programs for chronic disease management (for example, diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease)

• Support injury prevention and rehabilitation

• Assist with mobility and strength training

• Provide safe, individualised exercise plans for different ages and abilities

3. Who can see an Exercise Physiologist in Murdoch?

Exercise Physiology can be suitable for people with a range of health and fitness needs, including:

• Pregnancy and postpartum exercise guidance

• Active ageing, balance, and falls prevention
