Exercise physiology is the clinical application of exercise as medicine. Our accredited exercise physiologist Emily designs individualised exercise programmes for people with chronic health conditions, injuries, and those seeking to optimise their physical performance and long-term health.

Unlike a personal trainer, an exercise physiologist is a university-qualified allied health professional who can assess, diagnose, and prescribe exercise for complex health conditions โ€” including those covered by Medicare, DVA, and private health insurance.

FAQs

Common questions about exercise physiology

What is an exercise physiologist?
An exercise physiologist (EP) is a university-qualified allied health professional who specialises in clinical exercise prescription for people with chronic health conditions, injuries, and disabilities. Unlike a personal trainer, an EP can assess, diagnose, and prescribe exercise for complex medical conditions โ€” and is recognised by Medicare, DVA, and private health insurance.
What is the difference between an exercise physiologist and a personal trainer?
A personal trainer focuses on fitness, weight loss, and performance for generally healthy individuals. An exercise physiologist is a registered allied health professional who works with people managing chronic conditions, recovering from injury or surgery, or dealing with complex health issues. EPs can claim Medicare, DVA, and private health rebates โ€” personal trainers cannot.
Is exercise physiology covered by Medicare?
Yes. Exercise physiology is covered under the Medicare Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan, which provides up to 5 rebated sessions per year with a GP referral. DVA fully covers exercise physiology for eligible veterans. Most private health insurance funds also provide rebates under extras cover.
Where is your exercise physiologist based in Melbourne?
Our exercise physiologist Emily is based at our Ravenhall clinic (38 Panamax Rd) and our Tarneit clinic (412 Derrimut Rd, inside MyClinic Tarneit). Same-day appointments are often available.
