This session may also include hands on techniques, some exercises or a rehab program. This can be completed at home or in the gym and a plan for your recovery will also be included to get you moving in the right direction. What to wear – loose fitting clothes. If you are experiencing pain when you are running or jumping it is generally recommended you wear the shoes you normally do when you complete the activity. After the appointment you will recieve a treatment summary - what we found, a working diagnosis and a plan to move forward.
AEP or Physio?
Both are allied health professionals who have done a minimum of 4 years’ study at university, however, there are differences in their areas of expertise. Exercise physiologists use evidence-based movement and exercise intervention for chronic disease prevention and management, musculoskeletal injuries and weight management.
Exercise physiologists often work as part of a team of doctors, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals to ensure the best results for their clients
At Move in Geelong all our exercise physiologists are clinical pilates trained and are passionate about helping you reach your movement goals!
