What Is Exercise Physiology?

Exercise physiologists are healthcare professionals that promote health and wellness through prescriptive exercise. Through tailored programs, exercise physiology may be able to assist you in the prevention and management of a wide range of injuries, conditions, and diseases.

Depending on your medical history and your wellness goals, exercise physiology could be useful in restoring function, losing weight, preventing injury, and the better management of your condition.
