Exercise Physiology
What is Exercise Physiology?
Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are experienced in designing and delivering safe and effective exercise interventions for the management and treatment of a number of chronic health conditions and injuries, as well as improving general health. At Rebuilding Movements, our passion is making sure our clients move towards their best quality of life.
“Exercise as medicine” is also a great way to think of what our Exercise Physiologists offer. Exercise, whether it be resistance, aerobic, balance, flexibility or other forms of training can be used as a great way to manage and treat chronic and complex conditions such as:
- Disability (autism, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy)
- Aging (balance, falls risk, prevention of muscle and bone loss)
- Diabetes and obesity
- Musculoskeletal injuries (pre/post-surgery rehab)
- Mental health conditions (depression, anxiety)
- Neurological conditions (stroke, Parkinson’s, MS)
