What Is Exercise Physiology?
Exercise physiology is an allied health discipline that uses evidence-based exercise as medicine. Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are university-qualified health professionals who specialise in designing safe, effective exercise programs for people living with chronic conditions, disabilities, injuries, and mental health challenges.
Unlike general personal training, exercise physiology is a clinical service grounded in medical science. Your exercise physiologist assesses your current function, health history, and goals, then builds a structured program specifically designed to improve your capacity over time — whether that means building the confidence to pick up a dumbbell for the first time, or gradually increasing your endurance so you can participate more fully in daily life and community activities.
Exercise physiology is recognised by the NDIS as a funded therapeutic support, and sessions with an accredited exercise physiologist can be claimed under your plan.

Exercise Physiology vs Physiotherapy: What's the Difference?
Many NDIS participants benefit from both exercise physiology and physiotherapy, but the two services have different focuses:
Physiotherapy diagnoses and treats specific injuries, pain, and movement disorders. It often involves hands-on manual therapy, targeted rehabilitation after surgery or injury, and treatment of acute conditions. Physiotherapists focus on restoring movement and function in specific body areas.
Exercise physiology takes a whole-body, long-term approach. Rather than treating a specific injury, an exercise physiologist designs ongoing exercise programs that build your overall strength, fitness, coordination, and mental wellbeing. The focus is on sustainable lifestyle change and functional capacity — helping you become more independent over time.
At Healthroos, our exercise physiologists work closely alongside our physiotherapy and occupational therapy teams. This means your care is coordinated, your goals are aligned, and you get the right combination of services to support your NDIS plan.
How NDIS Funding Covers Exercise Physiology
Exercise physiology is a funded NDIS support. Your plan may include funding for exercise physiology under the following Capacity Building categories:
Improved Daily Living (CB Daily Activity) This is the most common funding category for exercise physiology. It covers therapeutic supports that help you build your capacity to participate in daily activities and achieve greater independence.
Improved Health and Wellbeing Some plans include funding specifically aimed at improving physical health and wellbeing. Exercise physiology sessions that focus on fitness, strength, and chronic disease management may fall under this category.
If you’re unsure whether your plan includes exercise physiology funding, contact your support coordinator or plan manager — or simply reach out to us and we’ll help you check. We work with self-managed, plan-managed, and NDIA-managed participants.
Who Benefits from NDIS Exercise Physiology?
Our exercise physiology team specialises in working with NDIS participants who face unique challenges around physical activity. We take a patient, adaptive approach — focused on finding the right way to engage each individual in meaningful exercise.
Individuals new to exercise Starting an exercise routine can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never trained before or have had negative experiences in the past. Our exercise physiologists focus on building confidence from the ground up — starting with activities that feel achievable and enjoyable, then gradually progressing as your strength and comfort grow.
Chronic fatigue For participants living with chronic fatigue syndrome or fatigue related to other conditions, exercise must be carefully managed to avoid symptom flare-ups. We design graded exercise programs that respect your energy limits while gradually building your capacity — helping you do more without the crash.
Autism spectrum disorder Exercise sessions for participants with autism are tailored to individual sensory preferences, communication styles, and interests. Our team has found success through creative engagement — whether that means kicking a soccer ball, using resistance bands, or following visual exercise cards — adapting every session to what works for each person.
Mental health conditions Regular exercise has strong evidence for improving symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Our exercise physiologists provide structured, supportive sessions that help participants build a positive relationship with movement, improve mood, and develop routines that support their overall mental wellbeing.
We also support participants with intellectual disabilities, neurological conditions, and those recovering from periods of inactivity or hospital deconditioning.
