What is Exercise Physiology & How Can it Help Me?
You have probably heard the term ‘EP’ and wondered about it; Exercise Physiology is a new dimension to good physical health and in this short article, we aim to give you an outline of EP and how it can be beneficial to you.
Professional Oversight
An exercise physiologist is a professional with at least 4 years of training and they focus on creating an exercise plan that is right for you and will help you to achieve your fitness goals. Luckily, there is an affordable EP in Rouse Hill from an established provider, plus they have a lot of information on their website about their programs and how they can be delivered.
Injury Recovery
A sporting injury is never a good thing and without some professional help, you could make the injury worse. Your local physio is more than capable of putting together a series of exercises and this service can be delivered virtually (see local provider website). Special exercises promote healing and that means you can get back to training quickly; it only takes a single session for the physio to show you how to nurture your body back to health.
Preparing for a Marathon
Some people set themselves high goals and when prepping for a Marathon run, EP can really help you. Even a half marathon is a tall order for someone who isn’t that fit and booking a virtual EP session with your local physio will help you safely prepare for the up-and-coming event. It might be a charity run, or you simply decided to raise the bar, either way, the physio can compile the right EP plan and you will nail it on the big day! Yoga is a very beneficial practice that many Australians have discovered.
Virtual Services
We have suffered more than most countries here in Australia regarding the pandemic and the great thing about EP is the service can be delivered via Zoom. Simply book a time and date that is convenient for you and create a small space, then you will have your private time with a physio who is dedicated to helping you reach your goals. The receptionist can assist you with downloading the VoIP platform if you are new to Zoom and after a few trial calls, you will be ready for your online physio session.
Using Exercise as Medicine
The Exercise Physiologist (EP) is trained to use exercise as a way to heal the body, while those with no injury can be shown the best exercises to develop their physical fitness levels in a structured way. If you would like to learn more about EP, search online for a local physio and they would be happy to advise you on all aspects of exercise physiology.
Whether you are recovering from an injury or simply want to boost your fitness level, your local physio can assist you and with online solutions, you won’t have to risk Covid infection.
