What is an Exercise Physiologist?
Exercise Physiologists are university qualified allied health professionals who have a comprehensive understanding of the human body and specialise in designing and delivering safe and effective exercise interventions for individuals with acute, sub-acute or chronic conditions, injuries, or disabilities.
Why choose an Exercise Physiologist?
Exercise Physiologists are required by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) to receive extensive training and meet a requirement of 20 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Points annually. Therefore, Exercise Physiologists continue to educate themselves after university with the latest research and news, upskilling themselves and reinforcing the knowledge and expertise acquired from a minimum 4-year tertiary course.
What is the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a Physiotherapist?
Exercise Physiologists and physiotherapists are similar in many aspects where they are both equipped with knowledge, skills and competencies that focus on management and prevention of injury, disability, pain, and impairment. Exercise Physiologists primarily treat patients/clients through clinical exercise interventions as their main modality and have a strong focus on managing chronic conditions, injuries and disabilities. Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, treat and manage acute injury, disability and pain through manual handling and soft tissue mobilisation as their main modality.
What is the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a Personal Trainer?
Exercise Physiologists and Personal Trainers are qualified to design and deliver exercise intervention with the purpose of improving athletic performance, achieving fitness goals and weight management in low-risk clients. Exercise Physiologist’s are recognized allied health practitioners whose scope of practice allows them to work within a clinical setting as they have the expertise and necessary skills to prevent, manage and treat chronic diseases and conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, and weight management.
