What is Exercise Physiology and Why It Matters

Exercise Physiology focuses on movement as medicine, providing tailored exercise interventions to support recovery, improve physical function, and enhance overall health. Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) specialize in managing cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, cancer-related, and mental health conditions through evidence-based programs.

Early intervention is key—structured exercise can significantly improve strength, mobility, and long-term wellness. Whether recovering from an injury, managing chronic health conditions, or optimizing performance, expert guidance can make a lasting difference.

At TLC Centre, we offer Exercise Physiology services in partnership with Fit To Live Training, ensuring individualized care that empowers you to move better, feel stronger, and live healthier.

Exercise Physiology FAQs

What is exercise physiology, and how can it benefit me?

Exercise physiology is a healthcare service focused on using safe, evidence-based exercise programs to improve physical function, manage chronic conditions, and promote overall health. It’s beneficial for people of all ages, whether you’re managing a health condition, recovering from injury, or working toward fitness goals.

Do I need a referral to see an exercise physiologist at TLC Centre?

No referral is needed for private sessions. However, if you have a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan from your GP, Medicare may cover part of the cost. NDIS participants may also access exercise physiology services without a GP referral.

Are you able to support NDIS-funded clients?

Yes, we support NDIS-funded clients. Our Exercise Physiologists work with individuals to create tailored exercise programs that align with their NDIS goals, helping them improve mobility, strength, and independence.

What conditions can exercise physiology help manage?

Exercise physiology can help manage a range of conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, respiratory conditions, chronic pain, mental health challenges, and more. Our Exercise Physiologists design specific programs to improve quality of life and overall health.

What should I expect in my first session with an exercise physiologist?

During your first session, the exercise physiologist will assess your medical history, current fitness level, and health goals. Based on this information, they’ll develop a customized exercise program designed to suit your specific needs and abilities.

Is exercise physiology covered by Medicare or private health insurance?

Our Exercise Physiologists are registered Medicare providers and can assist with Chronic Disease Management plans. If you have a CDM plan from your GP, Medicare may cover part of your sessions. Many private health insurers also offer rebates for exercise physiology, so check with your provider for details on your coverage.

How often will I need to see an exercise physiologist?

The frequency of sessions depends on your individual goals and health needs. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others may require less frequent check-ins. Your exercise physiologist will discuss a recommended schedule with you during your initial appointment.

How is an exercise physiologist different from a personal trainer?

Exercise physiologists are university-trained and accredited healthcare professionals who specialize in designing safe exercise programs for those with medical conditions or specific health needs. Personal trainers typically focus on general fitness and may not have the same clinical expertise for managing chronic health conditions.

How do I book an appointment with an exercise physiologist?

You can book an appointment by calling TLC Centre or through our online booking system. Our team will help you find a convenient time for your initial session.

What is a well-being assessment and what does it entail?

Well-Being Assessment at Fit To Live Training is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by our Accredited Exercise Physiologists. This assessment is designed to identify areas of improvement in your physical health and well-being, particularly if you have existing medical conditions or are recovering from injury. It typically includes:

  •  Postural and Biomechanical Evaluation: Assessing movement patterns to detect imbalances or weaknesses.
  • Functional Capacity Testing: Determining your ability to perform daily activities safely.
  • Health and Lifestyle Review: Discussing your medical history, current fitness levels, and personal goals.

This assessment forms the foundation for creating a tailored exercise program aimed at improving your overall health, managing chronic conditions, and enhancing recovery. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, or those undergoing rehabilitation.
