An Exercise Physiologist is a University trained professional who specialises in the use of exercise and physical activity to improve health and manage chronic conditions, injuries, and support mental well-being. They assess, design, and implement exercise programs tailored to individual needs, aiming to enhance physical function, prevent injuries, and support overall well-being.
Exercise Physiologists often work with people recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease, or looking to improve their general fitness and mental well-being. They use evidence-based approaches to promote health and enhance quality of life through targeted exercise interventions.
Exercise Physiologists (EPs) and Physiotherapists (PTs) both play crucial roles in rehabilitation and recovery but with different focuses. Physiotherapists typically work with patients in the early stages of injury or illness, often providing passive treatments like massage, dry needling, and manual therapy to manage pain and improve mobility. Exercise Physiologists, on the other hand, generally see individuals after the initial six weeks and focus on active-based treatments, using exercise and movement strategies to enhance function, strength, and overall health. Both EPs and PTs offer education on managing conditions and promoting recovery, but their approaches and techniques differ to best support your path to improved well-being.
There is some overlap between the two professions, as both provide valuable education on managing conditions and improving recovery. If you have concerns or are unsure about which approach is best for you, please don't hesitate to discuss your situation with us. We are here to guide you and ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your needs.
