Exercise physiology for women’s health?
If you are wondering what an Exercise Physiologist is and what we do, we are experts in exercise and physiology. We deliver movement-based interventions to address chronic health conditions. We understand how progressive exercise programming plays a role in the body’s ability to adapt and can therefore use prescriptive exercise to alter a person’s physiology and significantly improve health markers and their quality of life.
We are different to Physiotherapists and take a ‘hands off’ approach to treatment. We teach you to understand your body and what types of exercise, what intensities of exercise and how often you might need to exercise in order to improve your health and live a better quality of life.
