Exercise Physiology | Spectrum Healthcare

Exercise Physiology

Spectrum Healthcare’s exercise physiologists advocate that exercise is essential for fitness, health and rehabilitation. It is also an important component in preventing and managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis or back pain.

Exercise Physiology

What is an Exercise Physiologist?

Exercise Physiologists (EPs) are allied health professionals who prescribe comprehensive exercise programs to assist people who are recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic conditions. They have extensive knowledge of the human body and are experts at programming effective exercise programs to ensure long-term recovery from your injuries.

What do we do?

Our exercise physiologists are highly qualified in developing clinical exercise programs to improve overall health and well-being. They can also help to develop behavioural modification programs, allowing patients to establish new and healthy habits within their life.
