What is an Exercise Physiologist?

An Exercise Physiologist is a university trained professional who specialises in health and fitness. An Exercise Physiologist often works in collaboration with other health professionals to tailor an individual exercise program to meet the needs of the client. Sessions may be based in a gym, at home, or in a hydrotherapy pool. Sessions can be one-on-one or in a small group (less than 10 people).

​

Exercise Physiologists provide professional services in the area of exercise as a treatment strategy in:

• physical rehabilitation;

• prevention of, and monitoring safe exercise in chronic disease states, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease; and

• functional rehabilitation for the work-setting.  If you are injured at work we will help you get back in shape so that you are less likely to injure again. Many of our satisfied patients have found that exercise has helped them avoid reinjury.
   

Often, it is hard to stay on track with an exercise program.  We work with you to overcome the barriers to fitness and help you find ways to make your program varied. You will find that as you achieve your goals your motivation will improve. We will help you establish a healthy exercise habit.
