​Exercise Physiology at Grafton Physio + Sport

​

Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEP’s) are 4-year University qualified allied health professionals who specialise in the delivery of exercise and lifestyle modifications for the prevention and management of chronic disease and injuries. AEP's are skilled professionals who are passionate about leading a healthy lifestyle and the positive effects of exercise. On a daily basis they work to provide the skills, education and motivation to empower individuals to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

As AEP's specialise in the delivery of exercise, they can utilise both individual and group exercise sessions to produce the best clinical outcomes, in a fun, safe environment.

Our AEP, Kylie Duff, is a passionate advocate in the life changing impact of exercise with disability, from greater independence, mobility, and the freedom of choice exercise provides to lead an active life.
