Movement and exercise play a powerful role in managing chronic health conditions and persistent pain. Regular, targeted activity can improve strength, flexibility, energy levels, and mood, while also reducing inflammation, stiffness, and the severity of symptoms over time. For many people living with conditions such as arthritis, back pain, fatigue, endometriosis, or non-menstrual pelvic pain, the right type of exercise can significantly improve daily function and quality of life.
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university-qualified allied health professional trained in using exercise to prevent and manage chronic disease, injury, and pain. They understand the complex relationship between movement, the body, and long-term health conditions and provide evidence-based, tailored exercise programs that are safe and effective.
What to expect during a consultation:
- A thorough health and movement assessment, including your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals
- Discussion about any barriers to exercise, such as pain, fatigue, or fear of injury
- Development of an individualised program, often including a mix of strength, mobility, and aerobic exercises
- Education on how to move safely and confidently, both in and outside of sessions
- Ongoing support and review to adjust your plan as you progress
Whether you’re new to exercise or returning after injury or illness, working with an exercise physiologist can empower you to take control of your health and improve how you feel and function every day.
