What is an Exercise Physiologist and how can an EP help?
An Accredited Exercise Physiologist is a tertiary educated Allied Health Professional who specialises in exercise interventions irrespective of age, illness or injury for people with a broad range of conditions (usually chronic) and health issues. Such as:
Type 2 Diabetes
Obesity
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Mental Health inc. Depression.
Heart disease, and high blood pressure
Cancer
Falls Prevention
Respiratory conditions such as asthma
Neurological conditions such as brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, MS, and stroke rehabilitation.
An EP can also work with the ‘healthy’ population for those who are seeking expert exercise advice including:
If you have not exercised before
If you lack confidence
If you want to develop a program for weight loss
If you just don’t know where to start
You may be currently suffering from, or at risk of developing such conditions, injuries or health issues affecting their quality of life. We use evidence-based methods, health education, behavioural coaching, exercise counselling and physical rehabilitation. We can also support Women who are pregnant, trying to conceive or wanting extra care/advice during the pre/post-natal periods.
How we work with our internal team of Physiotherapists at My Local Physio Plus?
APhysiotherapistwill assess, diagnose, manage and treat (usually acute) injuries or conditions. This management and treatment is usually specific to the injury and presentation.
AnExercise Physiologistwill utilise an exercise intervention to manage and treat (usually chronic) injuries or conditions. Exercise Physiologists will look at things holistically and may delve into lifestyle habits and behaviour.
So, at My Local Exercise Physiology, we do not work in competition with each other, but instead we will get best results for you when working WITH each other.
