Our Exercise Physiology Services

Our exercise physiology services are integrated into a multidisciplinary allied health framework that includes speech pathology, occupational therapy and nursing care.

This collaborative approach allows our exercise physiologists to work closely with other health professionals, ensuring each client receives a well-rounded care plan that addresses their unique needs. For individuals managing conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, or injury recovery, exercise physiology at Best Life Individual Support Services offers tailored interventions that improve physical function and support better long-term health.

By offering a diverse range of allied health services, Best Life Individual Support Services aims to provide each client with a complete support system, empowering them to achieve their health goals effectively.

Exercise Physiology services are allied health supports that use safe, structured exercise to help people improve their physical function, health, and overall wellbeing—especially when they have a disability, injury, or chronic health condition.

What are Exercise Physiology services?

Exercise Physiology services are delivered by Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs). These professionals are trained to assess a person’s physical abilities and design individualised exercise programs that are safe, evidence-based, and tailored to the person’s needs and goals.

Under the NDIS, Exercise Physiology is considered an allied health, capacity-building support.
