Exercise Physiologist FAQ

1What can I expect from my first consult?

Your initial consult will include a discussion of your main reason for your consult, as well as your relevant medical history/injuries, current medications, your current physical activity levels and your overall goals for physical activity and exercise. We will then typically conduct any relevant short physical tests to help determine the right exercises for you as well as a baseline to compare future results. Finally, we work together to create an appropriate plan and exercise program to start working towards your goals.
