Exercise Physiology Services
Helping you use evidence-based exercise to improve your health, manage health conditions and achieve your goals.
Exercise is a powerful tool for improving health, function and quality of life. At Bass Coast Exercise Physiology, we provide personalised exercise support for people of all ages and abilities - whether you are managing a health condition, recovering from illness or injury, wanting to improve your fitness, or looking to stay active and independent.
What is Exercise Physiology?
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university-trained allied health professionals who specialise in the design and delivery of exercise programs for people with chronic conditions, injuries, and complex health needs. We use exercise as medicine — backed by science and tailored to you.
Exercise physiologists study the effect of exercise on the body, the mechanisms by which exercise can reduce or reverse disease, support optimal health and aid in recovery.

How It Works
Getting started is simple. Here is what to expect when you come to Bass Coast Exercise Physiology.
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We start with a thorough assessment of your health history, goals, and current fitness level to understand what you need. We may discuss lifestyle management strategies and provide education on the physiology of your injury or condition, helping you understand how exercise can support your health.
We’ll look at how your body moves and work with you one-on-one to build a plan that suits your goals.
Together, we’ll create a plan that may include a personalised home exercise program, review appointments, or small group sessions - providing guidance to progress your activity levels, strength, and overall health.
Step 2. Personalised Activity Plan
Your exercise program is designed specifically for you - progressive, safe with all of your health needs clearly considered and built around your lifestyle and goals.
You may chose to join our Small Group Sessions for in person support or take a home exercise plan home with you.
Step 3: Ongoing Support
We check in regularly, progress your program, and celebrate your wins along the way.
Your ongoing support may include review appointments, regular small group sessions, and a personalised home exercise program with progress tracking and check-ins to help you stay on track between appointments.
