What Is Exercise Physiology?
This form of care focuses on transforming your health through precise assessment of joint integrity, neural function and strength capacity to then develop a plan of exercise rehabilitation tailored to your individual needs and goals. Exercise Physiologists are the highest trained professionals with exercise so can guide you safely as you develop strength and endurance factoring in any chronic disease, illness, or injury. We can share our extensive knowledge of the human body and exercise benefits to help you find pain relief, improve mobility and functionality, and manage and improve acute and chronic illnesses.
