What is the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a Physiotherapist? 
 
While both professions aim to improve your physical wellbeing, our approaches differ. A Physiotherapist often focuses on diagnosing and treating acute injuries, often using hands-on therapies alongside prescribing rehabilitation exercises and guiding the initial stages of rehabilitation. 
 
As an Exercise Physiologist, I specialise in creating long-term, evidence-based exercise and behaviour change programs. My goal is to empower you to manage chronic health conditions, improve your functional capacity, and prevent future health issues. I work with you after the acute phase of an injury or to manage ongoing conditions, focusing on using structured exercise as the primary treatment tool. 
 
My Approach and Special Interests 
 
I have a special interest in working with individuals with neurological conditions, helping to improve function, independence, and quality of life through targeted exercise programs. 
 
With a passion for providing patient-focused care, I have extensive experience working with people through the NDIS to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. I also assist people in understanding and managing a range of other conditions for the best long-term outcomes, including: 
- Musculoskeletal injuries 
- Metabolic conditions (like diabetes) 
- Respiratory conditions 
- Cardiac rehabilitation 
 
Background and Qualifications 
 
My journey in the health and fitness industry began in 2010 as a personal trainer. This experience fuelled my passion for helping people, leading me to graduate with a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Science from the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2018. 
 
My Philosophy 
 
My philosophy is centred on creating a sustainable and balanced approach to health for the best long-term outcomes. I believe in empowering individuals to build their capacity and achieve their personal goals through a healthy, active lifestyle that is both effective and enjoyable. My ultimate aim is to support you in enhancing your functional independence, managing your health proactively, and improving your overall quality of life.
