Mental Health Ancillary Services in Brisbane

Exercise Physiology is the science of using exercise and movement to treat acute, sub-acute and chronic health conditions. Accredited Exercise Physiologists, or AEPs, are experts at using exercise as medicine to treat these health conditions, and with appropriate use can reduce reliance on some medications, drastically reduce pain and increase quality of life. AEPs work closely with individuals and assist them to live the life they dream of, we put you back in charge, so that pain, disease and injury doesn’t control your life.
