Frequently Asked Questions
Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy are both recognised Allied Health Professions. Exercise physiologists primarily treat patients using clinical exercise interventions as their main modality whereas Physiotherapists traditionally perform more passive, hands on treatments. Exercise Physiologists tend to place a strong focus on behavioural change and self-management techniques to help you self manage your condition better.
Standard exercise wear or loose-fitting attire that you can move freely in is advised as all of our clinical assessments and interventions are movement/exercise based!
Most health funds now provide varying levels of rebate for Exercise Physiology services; see our Health Fund Rebates page to see what your health fund offers.
