EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

Exercise Physiology is a healthcare profession dedicated to improving the physical health and overall well-being of individuals through targeted, evidence-based exercise interventions. Through the use structured exercise programs, education, and lifestyle modification strategies, Exercise Physiology can work to prevent, manage, and treat a wide range of acute and chronic medical conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, and respiratory systems.

Treatment may involve various approaches, including:

Clinical Exercise Prescription:
Exercise Physiologists design individualized exercise programs tailored to each person’s medical history, physical capacity, and goals. Programs may focus on improving strength, endurance, mobility, balance, coordination, cardiovascular fitness, and metabolic health. Exercise is carefully prescribed to ensure safety and effectiveness, particularly for individuals managing chronic conditions.

Chronic Disease Management:
Exercise is a powerful tool in managing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain, and obesity. Exercise Physiologists provide structured programs aimed at improving function, reducing symptoms, enhancing quality of life, and preventing disease progression.

Rehabilitation & Functional Training:
Following injury, surgery, or illness, Exercise Physiologists support safe return to activity through progressive strengthening and functional retraining. Programs are designed to restore confidence, improve independence, and promote long-term resilience.

Education and Lifestyle Support:
Exercise Physiologists play a vital role in empowering individuals with knowledge about their condition. This includes guidance on physical activity, behaviour change strategies, pacing techniques, and long-term self-management to support sustainable health outcomes.
