EX PHYS PERS TRAINING

Exercise physiology and the NDIS may not be clear to everyone, so let us explain how we can help.

NDIS planners are typically unaware of the difference between Exercise Physiology (EP) and Physiotherapy (PT). To get the most from your NDIS funding, it is important to understand the difference:

  • Physiotherapist is…university qualified to assess, diagnose, treat and prevent a wide range of health conditions and movement disorders.
  • Exercise physiologist is…university qualified to design, deliver and evaluate safe and effective exercise interventions for people with acute, sub-acute or chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities.

Accredited Exercise Physiologists are able to provide services under the NDIS to help improve the Health and Wellbeing of NDIS participant in the Capacity Building Budget.

The Capacity Building budget helps the participants to improve and develop skills to help them reach independence and their long-term goals. Under Improved Health and Wellbeing category, Capacity Building budget includes:
