Exercise Physiology is a recognised Allied Health profession that uses structured, clinically prescribed exercise to treat injury, chronic pain, disability and chronic disease.
As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP), I’m university-qualified and registered with Exercise & Sport Science Australia (ESSA). That means any program I prescribe is grounded in clinical evidence — not guesswork or generic fitness advice. Exercise Physiology is approved under Medicare, NDIS, TAC, WorkCover and DVA.
Exercise Physiology focuses on restoring function through graded exercise — particularly for complex, chronic, or systemic conditions where exercise itself is the medicine.
I don't work with acute injuries or provide diagnostic services.
Because I work out of Symmetry Physiotherapy in Hoppers Crossing, I can coordinate directly with the physio team if you’re seeing both of us. Many patients do — it’s often the most effective combination for complex cases.
Exercise Physiology is an approved Allied Health treatment.
Exercise Physiologists manage how exercise impacts our cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, neurological, endocrine or metabolic system.
If exercise is prescribed efficiently the body will physiologically adapt given the parameters defined by chronic disease.
As an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) and member of Exercise & Sport Science Australia (ESSA). I hold current professional indemnity insurance and complete ongoing professional development audited by ESSA and relevant insurers including NDIS, WorkCover and TAC.
