You’re always welcome to bring someone along for support.

What is an Exercise Physiologist?

An Accredited Exercise Physiologist is an allied health professional specifically trained to develop and implement exercise and lifestyle interventions to aid in the prevention and management of chronic disease or injury.

What to expect from an Exercise Physiology session?

A typical session will involve a discussion in which the Exercise Physiologist will assess your current medical history, medications, physical limitations and barriers to exercise. It provides an opportunity for your Exercise Physiologist to get to know you on a more personal level and evaluate your goals to improve your health.

Concerns that may benefit from an exercise physiology session include exercise programs:

·       to aid management of diabetes,

·       for recovery / prevention of a cardiac episode,

·       to improve strength and range of motion pre- or post-joint replacement surgery,

·       during or following cancer treatment,

·       for bone health, or

·       to aid with weight management.
