Physiotherapy and exercise physiology aren’t just about recovery—they’re about improving function and performance, whether that is sporting or just in your day to day activities. People from all walks of life, be they athletes or not, often turn to physiotherapists when injuries impact their quality of life. The primary goal? Regaining mobility, strength and function. But alongside, exercise physiology provides a deeper understanding of how our bodies respond to physical activity, offering tailored strategies to enhance recovery. Engaging in timely interventions from both disciplines can prevent injuries from intensifying, ward off debilitating pain, post-traumatic arthritis, or further damage, and notably improve the function and movement of affected areas.
