Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist and an Exercise Physiologist?2020-09-08T09:11:33+00:00

Exercise Physiology and Physiotherapy are both recognised Allied Health Professions. Exercise physiologists primarily treat patients using clinical exercise interventions as their main modality whereas Physiotherapists traditionally perform more passive, hands on treatments. Exercise Physiologists tend to place a strong focus on behavioural change and self-management techniques to help you self manage your condition better.

What should I wear to a consult?2019-06-05T06:36:13+00:00

Standard exercise wear or loose-fitting attire that you can move freely in is advised as all of our clinical assessments and interventions are movement/exercise based!

What is Exercise Physiology?2019-06-05T06:32:05+00:00

Exercise Physiology is the use of exercise and self-management practices to improve an injury or pathological condition. At Peak Sport Science, we specialise in the improvement of musculoskeletal injury. Whether experiencing chronic pain, ongoing “niggles” or sporting injury we can help you reduce your pain by strengthening the muscles needing to be strengthened and releasing muscles that need to be relaxed.
