About Exercise Physiology

Exercise physiologists differ from personal trainers in that they have the qualifications to work with people sustaining injuries and suffering different illnesses rather than just the ‘healthy’ population. Exercise physiologists also differ from physiotherapists in that they do not diagnose these injuries or illnesses. Exercise physiologists usually work in conjunction with physiotherapists, often following on after rehabilitation.
