Exercise Physiology
Exercise Physiology is a new and emerging allied health profession; we are more than a Personal Trainer!
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are differentiated from Personal Trainers and other allied health professionals by their extensive knowledge, skills and experience in delivering safe, effective exercise programs.
WE are specialists in…
1. Exercise for rehabilitation.
2. Exercise prescription for better health and wellbeing.
3. Developing specific exercise programs for chronic and complex medical conditions.
4. Musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
There are four Accredited Exercise Physiologists at CHFC:

This has provided Damian with a wealth of experience dealing with a wide variety of chronic injuries and medical conditions.
