What Is An Exercise Physiologist?

Exercise Physiologists (also known as Exercise Physiotherapists) primarily treat patients using clinical exercise interventions as their main modality whereas a Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, treat and manage acute injury, disability and pain through physical techniques such as manipulation, massage and exercise.

They are not just a personal trainer or gym instructor. Exercise physiologists are tertiary educated, with extensive of knowledge about the human body and the benefit that exercise has on it, both mentally and physically.

While there are areas of overlap in which physiotherapists and exercise physiologist perform similar roles, the most successful treatment options for patients will have these two professions working together.
