Alex Palassis-Black

Accredited Exercise Physiologist

BSc. Exercise & Health Science
M. Clinical Exercise Physiology (AEP)

Alex is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist driven by a deep passion for human performance, rehabilitation, and helping others reclaim confidence in their bodies. With a background spanning clinical rehab, performance coaching, and elite sports environments, Alex brings a dynamic, client-focused approach to exercise therapy.

After completing his undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of Western Australia, Alex gained hands-on experience supporting diverse populations—from those recovering post-operatively or managing chronic pain, to athletes chasing performance goals. His journey into the world of rehabilitation is personal, shaped by his own battles with persistent injury, which fuels his empathetic, solution-driven mindset when working with clients.

Alex’s unique approach blends evidence-based rehabilitation with elements of strength training, biomechanics, and endurance conditioning. Having completed a full marathon and a 100+ km cycling event, he deeply understands the demands of endurance and hybrid training. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or striving to move and perform better, Alex will meet you where you’re at—while helping you go further than you thought possible.

He has worked with everyone from weekend warriors to older adults, always aiming to empower clients through education, movement confidence, and long-term lifestyle change. Alex particularly enjoys helping people with lower limb injuries, return-to-run programming, Achilles and knee rehab, as well as performance-based rehab that bridges the gap from clinic to sport or active living.

When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Alex out running Perth’s coastline or strength training in the gym.
