Exercise Physiology involves getting specialist training guidance and care for clients who are managing illness, chronic pain, or injury rehabilitation. It is also frequently sought out by professional athletes or individuals who want to prevent injury, improve performance, and support their overall health and independence. Our qualified exercise physiologists provide expert support to develop tailored training programs to fit your specific lifestyle, medical, and fitness needs.
Movement Innovation can provide Medicare and private health fund rebates, DVA, and WorkCover funding to eligible clients.

Exercise Physiologists (EP's) are university-trained allied health professionals specialising in exercise prescription and lifestyle modification to help manage and prevent a range of chronic health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, chronic pain and injury rehabilitation.
EP’s use their extensive knowledge of human physiology and the science of exercise to create tailored programs that improve health, fitness, and overall well-being.
Each session is different depending on individual circumstances and goals. We will complete an initial assessment to determine your current level of capacity and discuss your goals and current physical activity levels.
A structured exercise program will be prescribed, consisting of various exercises aimed at achieving your goals. Each session will be different as we progress your program to keep it engaging and motivating. You may be prescribed additional exercises to do independently or given recommendations on how to improve other aspects of your overall health and fitness.
You should see an Exercise Physiologist when you need specific guidance to undertake an appropriate exercise program for you, or when you have a medical condition, injury, or disability that requires an individualised exercise program and professional support.
An EP will also teach you the correct way to exercise for your current ability, because not all forms of exercise are going to be suitable and some types of exercise may need to be adjusted and modified, so an EP can help when your health condition changes or you feel that you require more specific exercise advice.
EP’s are university-trained allied health professionals that specialise in physiology, anatomy and biomechanics to help medium to high-risk clients to manage chronic disease and injuries. In contrast, personal trainers focus on general fitness goals like weight loss and muscle building.
While personal trainers help clients improve their overall fitness, EPs design tailored programs for those with specific health needs, often collaborating with healthcare providers for comprehensive care.
Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plans, formerly known as Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plans, are Medicare initiatives in Australia to support individuals with chronic medical conditions. Under CDM, eligible patients can receive Medicare rebates for up to five allied health services, such as exercise physiology, per calendar year.
Speak with your GP to determine your eligibility for these benefits and request a referral to Movement Innovation for Exercise Physiology to get started.
While a GP referral is necessary to access Medicare benefits under the EPC/CDM plans for chronic conditions, clients can still see an EP privately without a referral.
We request that you provide a minimum of 8 hours notice if you cannot attend your appointment for any reason. If you do not attend without notice you may be charged a cancellation fee.
