EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

Exercise Physiology begins with the assessment and monitoring of the acute responses and chronic changes to a thoroughly thought out exercise plan for all types of people in the hope of reducing disease progression like diabetes.
What will Happen?

Our Physiotherapist are both trained in exercise physiology and will initially complete a verbal and physical assessment to gather information about your current and previous dietary and physical habits or routines.
