Frequently Asked Question's

AEPs are university qualified allied health professionals equipped with the knowledge, skills and competencies to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective exercise interventions. AEPs work with people with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities.  Pathology domains covered by the services of AEPs include cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, musculoskeletal, cancers, kidney, respiratory/pulmonary, mental health, and any other conditions for which there is evidence that exercise can improve the client’s clinical status.

Chronic diseases are long-lasting conditions with persistent effects. Their social and economic consequences can impact on people's quality of life. Chronic conditions are becoming increasingly common and are a priority for action in the health sector. Many people with chronic conditions do not have a single, predominant condition, but rather they experience co-morbidities (the presence of 2 or more chronic conditions in a person at the same time). 10 major chronic condition groups are: arthritis, asthma, back pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, mental health conditions and osteoporosis.

A disability is a limitation, restriction or impairment which restricts every day activities. ​Almost everyone will experience, or know someone who is experiencing, a temporary or permanent disability at some point in their life - either directly or indirectly. An estimated 1.3 billion people – about 16% of the global population – currently experience significant disabilities. This number is increasing due in part to population aging and an increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases.​ Many barriers for people living with disabilities stem from inaccessible environments limiting effective participation in everyday activities. Progress can be made by addressing these barriers to help reduce the impact on activities of daily living.
