What is the role of an Exercise Physiologist?
An Exercise Physiologist will specialise in Clinical Exercise interventions for a broad range of individuals. These individuals may be at risk of developing, or have existing, medical conditions and injuries. The aim of TPM Fitness and Sports Physiology is to prevent acute chronic disease or injury, and assist in restoring your optimal physical function, health or wellness.
Exercise Physiology is exercise-based and includes:
- Health and physical activity education
- Advice and support
- Fitness classes
- Running assessments
- Strength programs
- Kids coordination and athletic improvement programs
- Lifestyle modifications with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change
At The Physio Movement our Exercise Physiologists are trained to screen, assess and apply clinical reasoning so they can ensure safety and appropriateness of exercise-based interventions. In addition, Exercise Physiologists may advance their clinical exercise practice through continuing education, competency development and professional experience. At The Physio Movement because we believe that Exercise Physiology is a crucial aspect of rehabilitation, we have built our own Private Gym. Furthermore, we offer Health Care claimable Physiology Fitness Classes for all fitness levels.
