Do you need an Exercise Physiologist or Physiotherapist?

A simple way to think of the difference between the two is;

Physiotherapists provide “hands on” or passive treatment, (joint manipulation, massage and acupuncture).

Exercise Physiologists provide a “hands off” treatment or active treatment through specific clinical exercise and mobility programs.
