Exercise Physiology or Physiotherapy – what is the difference?
Physiotherapists assess, diagnose, and manage acute injury, disability and pain through hands on techniques and exercise, whereas exercise physiologists treat patients through clinical exercise interventions as their main modality. An exercise physiologist will also have a strong focus on providing lifestyle education and behavioural modifications to promote overall health and wellbeing and to support the management of conditions such as diabetes, cardio- respiratory conditions and mental health.
Do I need a referral to see an Exercise Physiologist?
No, you do not need a referral! You can book in for an initial assessment to see how one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists can help you. Please note a GP referral is required if you are being seen under an EPC plan, DVA, TAC or Work-Cover scheme.
Private health insurance rebates may apply for exercise physiology services, please contact your health fund for details.
