What is Exercise Physiology
Exercise physiology is the science that studies how the body responds to physical activity and clinical exercise. It delves into the acute (short-term) responses and chronic (long-term) adaptations of the body to exercise.
These programs are evidence-based and focus on improving functional capacity, mobility, strength, and overall well-being. Exercise physiology programs are designed to assist individuals in improving various aspects of their physical fitness and overall well-being.
Exercise physiologists are allied health professionals who apply this knowledge to help people improve their health and fitness. They design safe and effective exercise programs for individuals with a variety of needs, including those who are healthy, those who have chronic conditions, and those who are recovering from injuries.
What’s Involved During Your Session?
During your session with us, our EPs will conduct a thorough initial assessment to understand your unique needs and goals. From there, they will develop a personalised exercise program tailored specifically to you.
Revive Physiotherapy understands that exercise programs should be tailored to your specific goals. Our Exercise Physiologists will design a program that helps you achieve what matters most to you, whether it’s:
- Improved daily living and quality of life
- Chronic disease management
- Injury rehabilitation
- Peak physical performance
Through safe and effective exercise techniques, we aim to improve your cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply seeking to enhance your fitness level, our evidence-based approach ensures optimal results.
Benefits of Exercise Physiology
Engaging in Exercise physiology offers a wide range of benefits for people of all ages and fitness levels. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Improved cardiovascular health: Regular exercise strengthens the heart muscle, improves blood flow, and lowers blood pressure. This can significantly reduce your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.
- Weight management: Exercise helps you burn calories and build muscle, which can aid in weight loss and weight management.
- Reduced risk of chronic diseases: Exercise can help prevent or manage a variety of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, some types of cancer, and even depression.
- Improved bone health: Exercise helps to increase bone density and strength, which can help to prevent osteoporosis.
- Improved mental health: Exercise has been shown to improve mood, reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. It can also boost self-esteem and improve cognitive function.
- Improved sleep quality: Regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly.
- Improved overall quality of life: Exercise can help you feel better physically and mentally, which can lead to a better overall quality of life.
If you’re looking for a way to improve your health and well-being, exercise physiology can be a great place to start.
Who Can Benefit from Exercise Physiology?
Exercise physiology is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, including:
- Individuals managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease
- Older adults wanting to maintain mobility and independence
- Athletes looking to improve performance and reduce injury risk
- People recovering from surgery or long-term injury

What Does Exercise Physiology Treat?
Exercise physiology addresses a diverse range of conditions, offering tailored interventions to manage and improve symptoms:
Cardiac Conditions
Our exercise programs can help manage conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias by improving cardiovascular fitness, reducing risk factors, and enhancing heart function.
Metabolic Disorders
Whether it’s diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome, exercise physiology plays a crucial role in managing these conditions by improving insulin sensitivity, regulating blood sugar levels, and promoting weight loss.
Musculoskeletal Injuries
From sprains and strains to fractures and post-surgical rehabilitation, our EPs can design specialised exercise programs to promote healing, restore mobility, and prevent future injuries.
Respiratory Issues
Conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis can benefit from exercise physiology, which aims to improve respiratory function, enhance lung capacity, and alleviate symptoms.
Neurological Disorders
Exercise has been shown to be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injuries, improving mobility, balance, coordination, and overall quality of life.
Mental Health Conditions
Exercise is a powerful tool for managing mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Our programs focus on improving mood, reducing symptoms, and promoting overall well-being through regular physical activity.
By addressing these conditions holistically, exercise physiology promotes long-term health, functional independence, and overall quality of life for our clients.
Our EPs are skilled in providing tailored exercise interventions to manage these conditions, promote recovery, and improve overall function and well-being.

What’s the Difference Between Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy?
While both professions help people recover from injury and improve their physical health, there are key differences.
Physiotherapists focus on diagnosing and treating injuries through manual therapy, movement correction, and rehabilitation techniques.
Exercise Physiologists specialise in designing exercise programs to manage chronic health conditions, enhance fitness, and prevent injury.
At Revive Physiotherapy, our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists work collaboratively to support your long-term health goals. Many clients combine their exercise physiology program with our Physiotherapy services.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you don’t need a referral for private sessions. However, if you’ve been referred by your GP under a Chronic Disease Management Plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates.
Yes. Most private health funds offer rebates for Exercise Physiology appointments, depending on your level of cover. We can process claims on the spot at your appointment.
Your first session includes an in-depth assessment where we discuss your health history, current fitness level, and goals. From there, your Exercise Physiologist will design a personalised exercise plan to support your needs.
This depends on your goals and progress. Some people benefit from a few guided sessions to learn proper technique and build confidence, while others continue longer-term for chronic condition management or ongoing support.
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for exercise. Bring a water bottle and any relevant medical information, such as GP referrals or recent imaging results.
Absolutely. Our Exercise Physiologists can create safe, sustainable exercise plans to help you improve fitness, build strength, and support healthy weight management.
While both can help with fitness, Exercise Physiologists are university-qualified health professionals. They’re trained to prescribe exercise for people with injuries, chronic diseases, or medical conditions, and to ensure safety and effectiveness at every stage.
