Exercise is essential for neurological rehabilitation and optimising long-term physical health. Our Exercise Physiology services help children and adults with neurological conditions and complex physical disabilities build strength, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.
What Does an Exercise Physiologist Do?
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (EPs) specialise in clinical exercise interventions for a wide range of health conditions. These interventions are backed by high quality evidence and designed to prevent or manage chronic diseases, acute injuries, and help restore optimal physical function. EPs use standardised assessment, exercise prescription, health education, physical activity guidance, and lifestyle modification strategies to help clients improve their health and well-being.
Why Choose an Exercise Physiologist?
Exercise Physiologists at Compass specialise in adaptive exercise prescription to challenge you in ways you may not have been challenged previously. Every Neurological condition is different, and therefore every exercise program needs to be different to cater to your specific and specialised needs. With a foundational knowledge in chronic health management, neurological symptom management and experience navigating the complex nature of neurological conditions, Compass EPs are here to help you towards your capacity or well-being goal.
What Sets an EP Apart from a Personal Trainer?
A Personal Trainer typically completes a short course focused on exercise for healthy populations. In contrast, an Exercise Physiologist undergoes at least four years of university training, learning to manage a broad range of conditions, including disabilities, chronic conditions, and injuries. EPs are experts in creating tailored exercise plans that cater to more diverse health needs.
How Does an EP Differ from a Physiotherapist?
While both Exercise Physiologists and Physiotherapists work in neurological rehab, EPs focus primarily on chronic conditions, injuries, and long-term management, whereas Physiotherapists typically address acute care and rehabilitation.
At Compass, our EPs and Physiotherapists like to work closely with clients. Each team member contributes unique expertise based on their level of experience, postgraduate qualifications, and specialist training.
Through our referral and triage process, we gather information to help match you with the Compass EP or Physiotherapist best equipped to help them achieve specific community goal.
