Welcome to Clio Austin Exercise Physiology,
I help women over 40 who are frustrated with perimenopausal weight gain shift body fat, feel empowered, energised, and in control once again through a holistic science-backed lifestyle and exercise blueprint.
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) in Australia is a university-qualified allied health professional who specialises in designing, delivering, and evaluating safe and effective exercise interventions. These professionals are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to help individuals with a range of medical conditions, injuries, or disabilities.
Areas of Expertise Include:
I specialise in empowering women navigating perimenopause by providing education on its impact on metabolism, personalised solutions for weight management tailored to hormonal changes, and a supportive community for shared experiences. With expert-led programs, I address the unique challenges of this life stage, offering guidance and tools to help women feel confident and in control of their health.
I will also provide comprehensive support for women in perimenopause and beyond who are navigating unique and complex conditions. My approach recognises that every individual is different, and I tailor my services to address specific needs. These are some of the key areas I focus on:
Women diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis, offering guidance to improve bone health and strength.
Support for managing sarcopenia, helping to maintain and rebuild muscle mass.
Assistance for those experiencing insulin resistance and diabetes, combining strategies to optimize blood sugar management.
Expertise in handling thyroid conditions, addressing the challenges associated with hormonal imbalances.
Care for those undergoing medically induced menopause, guiding through the physical and emotional transitions.
Support for recovering from and managing injuries, ensuring safe and effective healing.
By understanding the intricate relationship between these conditions and overall well-being, I provide personalised solutions designed to empower women to achieve their health and wellness goals.
AEPs use evidence-based practices to improve their clients' clinical status, ensuring that exercise interventions are tailored to the individual's needs and health conditions.
To become an exercise physiologist in Australia, one must obtain a university degree in Exercise Physiology or a related field. This educational background ensures that AEPs are well-prepared to handle the diverse needs of their clients and provide high-quality care.
Exercise physiologists play a crucial role in the healthcare system, offering specialised exercise interventions to improve the health and quality of life for individuals with various medical conditions. Their expertise spans multiple pathology domains, making them invaluable in both preventive and rehabilitative health care.
Why see a Women's Health Exercise Physiologist?
Seeing a Women's Health Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP) can be beneficial for a variety of reasons. If you are having trouble returning to exercise due to a medical condition or injury, an AEP can help you safely resume physical activity. They provide guidance on navigating perinatal exercise, ensuring that you and your baby stay healthy throughout the pregnancy and beyond. Additionally, if you have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and your GP advises weight loss, a women's health exercise physiologist can create a tailored exercise plan to help manage your condition effectively.
