An exercise physiologist is a health professional who specialises in designing safe, effective exercise programs tailored to your unique needs. At Therapy Hub, our exercise physiologists help you build strength, improve endurance, and enhance overall well-being—whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease, or striving to reach your fitness goals. Using evidence-based methods, we guide you toward better health and a higher quality of life.

A physiotherapist is a healthcare professional who specialises in restoring movement, function, and comfort through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education. At Therapy Hub, our physiotherapists support you in recovering from injuries, managing neurological or chronic conditions, or achieving everyday physical goals. With personalized, evidence-based care, we help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence to live life to the fullest.

At Therapy Hub, both exercise physiologists and physiotherapists play vital roles in improving your health and mobility, but their approaches and areas of focus differ:

• Exercise Physiologist: Specializes in designing tailored exercise programs to enhance strength, endurance, and overall fitness. They focus on long-term health improvement, rehabilitation from chronic conditions (like diabetes or heart disease), and performance optimization for fitness or sports. Their work emphasizes exercise prescription and lifestyle changes, often for clients managing chronic diseases or seeking general wellness.

• Physiotherapist: Focuses on restoring movement and function through a combination of manual therapy (e.g., massage, joint mobilization), targeted exercises, and education. They treat a wide range of conditions, including acute injuries, post-surgical recovery, and neurological disorders, aiming to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote recovery. Physiotherapists often address immediate physical impairments and provide hands-on treatment.

Key Difference: Physiotherapists often use hands-on techniques and address acute injuries or specific physical dysfunctions, while exercise physiologists focus on exercise-based interventions for long-term health, fitness, and chronic condition management. At Therapy Hub, both work collaboratively to help you achieve your health and wellness goals with personalized, evidence-based care.
