Is an Exercise Physiologist the same as a Physiotherapist?

No. Just like their names, they are in fact, different!

An Exercise Physiologist specialises in designing and delivering safe and effective exercise interventions for people with chronic medical conditions, injuries or disabilities. These interventions include health and physical activity education, advice and support; as well as lifestyle modification with a strong focus on achieving change in behaviour and daily living habits.

A Physiotherapist has a heavy emphasis on the diagnosis and assessment of disease and disability states within the body such as, injury or musculoskeletal conditions. Much of their treatment revolves around the acute reduction of symptoms. The treatment process from a Physio is more hands on in terms of the assessment, diagnosis, planning and management of patient care.
