WHEN SHOULD I SEE AN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST?
AN exercise physiologist is a 4 year university qualified health professional, they have the knowledge and skills to design and deliver safe and effective exercise interventions for people with medical concerns, injuries or disabilities. So, you should see an Exercise Physiologist when you need the confidence to undertake an appropriate exercise program for you, or when you have a medical condition, lifelong illness, disability or injury that requires specialist health care and professional exercise advice.
In most cases your doctor will have already discussed the need for you to make lifestyle changes, including changes to your activity levels and your nutrition. Many doctors highly recommend undertaking a structured exercise program, especially if you live a sedentary lifestyle. But while you know that it is important to be active, the reality is that making these lifestyle changes can be difficult. ​It can also be difficult to know the correct way to exercise. Not all forms of exercise are going to help you, and some types of exercise may even aggravate an issue you have. We recommend seeing and Accredited Exercise Physiologist when your health condition changes, or you feel that you need the guidance for your unique situation.
An Exercise Physiologist Will HELP YOU LEARN HOW TO EXERCISE CORRECTLY
One way to learn how to properly exercise and be active is to book an initial visit with an Exercise Physiologist. These specialists are more than an exercise coach, or personal trainer.
Exercise Physiologists have completed a four-year university degree in exercise physiology, and have an in-depth understanding of how the human body works. An Exercise Physiologist at Prescribe Exercise Physiology will work with you to incorporate an appropriate exercise program into your life, while also helping you to make important lifestyle and behavioural changes.
