Working together

Our accredited exercise physiologists may work in conjunction with, or independently from, our neurological physiotherapists depending on a client’s condition. If, for example, a client suffered an acquired brain injury or stroke, the physiotherapist may concentrate on specific issues such as gait retraining, spasticity management and muscle control, whilst the exercise physiologist may focus on endurance and fitness, general strength, conditioning and provide advice on general health (e.g. nutrition and lifestyle choices). 

People with disabilities often lead very sedentary lifestyles due to reduced mobility, cognitive and behavioural issues, transport problems and a lack of understanding about what type of exercise they should or could be doing. Exercise physiologists can assist people in overcoming these issues and encourage participation in an appropriate form of physical activity, whether at home, in a community gym or through a local disability sporting association.
