How are we different to a Physio?
Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy are both recognised allied health professions who aim to assist people in returning to optimal function and managing or preventing medical conditions and injuries.
When it comes to the prescription of exercise for the treatment and prevention of chronic disease and injury, Exercise Physiologists are the most qualified professionals in Australia. Exercise Physiologists (EP) utilise graded, evidence-based movement and exercise intervention for musculoskeletal injury and chronic disease prevention and management. Considering the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of your circumstances an EP will also address lifestyle and behaviour modification which can help prevent further risk of disease or recurrence.
Physiotherapists are specialists in the area of treating acute musculoskeletal disorders using a variety of methods such as acupuncture, massage and manipulation.
