WHAT IS EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY?

Exercise Physiology Initial Assessment
Our experienced exercise physiologists are available for appointments Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, including before and after work hours.
All patients must have a one hour initial assessment with an Exercise Physiologist which involves a full past and present medical history, a physical examination to assess cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal function plus a collaborative discussion with regards to the individual’s needs and goals to ensure the tailored program that is developed is specific to that person.
