Exercise physiologists (EPs) provide exercise and lifestyle support for chronic diseases and injuries.

The primary aim of service delivery is to encourage lifestyle changes that are sustained in the long term.

Services

EP s offer a range of services which include individual and group based lifestyle counselling, self-management support, exercise advice and monitoring of behaviour changes with a view to promoting independent lifestyle management. The primary modes of treatment for EPs are behavioural coaching, health education, exercise counselling and physical rehabilitation.

EPs specialise in exercise prescription including individualised exercise programs, promoting leisure-time and incidental activity, and counselling to reduce sedentary behaviours. Initially a range of assessments would be conducted to ensure the activity prescription is safe, effective and likely to be maintained in the long term.

The patient will then be given the option of receiving a home based program, ongoing support in an exercise clinic, or a referral to an appropriate local physical activity provider with follow up help provided by the EP.

EPs work with people on a range of conditions, including:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Depression
• Cancer
• Arthritis
• Chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Chronic Pain.
