How does it work?

During your initial consultation, we will assess you and discuss your health condition. Then we’ll work with you to design a personalised exercise therapy program for you to do at a venue of your choice (e.g., home, outdoors or at a local exercise facility). Alternatively, many of our clients attend our own fully equipped AEP Exercise Clinic. 

  • Step 1: AEP Exercise Clinic orientation (second consultation). You will undergo an induction with the equipment with one of our student EPs supervised by our AEPs. Your exercise program will be written and fine-tuned.  

    Step 2: Attend 2–3 one-on-one supervised strength sessions per week.  

    Step 3: At 8–12 weeks your AEP will re-assess your progress to measure your results and achievements. A report is created for referring health professionals (GPs, specialists, etc), and a new personalised program is designed for you to continue following each visit at the AEP Exercise Clinic. Ongoing reviews are set for every 8–12 weeks and depend on your progress. You will have a student EP looking after you at each session, whilst being supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and your AEP will often be supervising on the floor, so you will see them frequently and can always ask questions.

  • As you start your program, your AEP will guide you through the various phases and arrange periodic follow- up sessions as required. Most clients will require between 2–5 consultations during the first 3–6 months. As your program progresses, your activity level will be progressively increased.
