An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) is a university-qualified allied health professional who uses evidence-based exercise to help people manage injuries, persistent pain, chronic health conditions and other health concerns. At MDEP, we create exercise programs around your individual needs, ability and goals.

Both are allied health professionals, but their roles can differ. Physiotherapy often focuses on assessment and treatment during the earlier stages of an injury, while Exercise Physiology uses exercise and movement to support rehabilitation, strength, function and longer-term health management. In many cases, the two professions work together.

Not at all. You can start at any fitness or mobility level. Whether you're managing pain, recovering from surgery, living with a health condition or simply finding movement more difficult than it used to be, we'll meet you where you are and progress at a pace that's right for you.

Your Exercise Physiologist will take the time to understand your health history, current concerns and what you'd like to achieve. They'll assess your movement and physical capacity where appropriate, then develop a personalised plan to help you move forward safely.

No. You can book an appointment privately without a referral. Depending on your circumstances, you may also be eligible for funding or rebates through Medicare, NDIS, DVA, WorkCover, TAC or private health insurance.
