Good news to individuals who are suffering from the following diseases:

That is because you can now reduce or delay the progression of your disease or illness through exercise physiology – a rehabilitation that uses exercise activities as a form of therapy. The health benefits of exercise have been well documented over the years.
Now, studies have shown that through specific exercise, exercise physiology can delay the onset of chronic disease in healthy participants as well as to provide therapeutic benefits to patients with known illnesses or diseases. This paved the way to include exercise physiology as an important part in the delivery of health care.
Exercise physiology is divided into two categories – fitness and rehabilitation. As the name itself, this type of exercise physiology focused on helping professional athletes improve in their professions. Moreover, those who are trying to lose weight or get in shape can also enroll in this type of programme.
Meanwhile, exercise physiology that focuses on rehabilitation is suitable for people who are recovering from an injury or those who are dealing with chronic conditions such as lower back pain and arthritis. A personalised and customised exercise programme is designed as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy for these illnesses.
While it is easy to assume that exercise physiologist only requires simple knowledge and training in sports and physical fitness, becoming a practitioner in this field is actually quite complicated. An exercise physiologist undergoes several training and education in human anatomy, sports nutrition, kinesiology, biomechanics and chemistry. Strong communication skills are also required since an exercise physiologist works closely with a variety of patients on a daily basis.
With the help of an exercise physiologist, you will be able to combat your disease or illness through a specific exercise programme that aims to improve your overall health both physically and mentally.
