What is the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a Physiotherapist?

Exercise physiology and physiotherapy are both recognised allied health professions. Exercise physiologists primarily treat patients using clinical exercise interventions as their main modality. There is also a strong focus on behavioural change and self-management concepts. Physiotherapists are health care professionals who assess, diagnose, treat and manage acute injury, disability and pain. However, there is a lot of overlap between the professions.

What is the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a Personal Trainer?

Accredited Exercise Physiologists are universally qualified allied health professionals, and have completed at least four years of tertiary education.
