Exercise Physiologists

At PartnerMD, we go far beyond the reaches of ordinary medicine to provide our patients with extraordinary care. One of the tools that we use to do this is the Annual Physical Exam. Our comprehensive Annual Physical provides us with information about the total person. Instead of simply focusing on existing medical conditions like many traditional practices, we use the Annual Physical to assess each individual patient and determine factors that could lead to medical issues in the future. Our Holistic Physicians in Virginia aim to encourage healthy living before problems arise instead of treating them after they do. One of the ways that our doctors encourage healthy living is through Prevention and Wellness plans that are tailored to each patient’s individual habits, but a recommendation that is on the majority of those plans is Fitness and Exercise. Because Exercise and Physical Fitness are such important components when it comes to your overall health, our Concierge Medical Practice employs Exercise Physiologists to help our patients get and stay in the best possible physical shape.

Just What is an Exercise Physiologist? Well, a certified Exercise Physiologist is someone who has a degree in exercise physiology or who has been certified by the American Society of Exercise Physiology (ASEP). These individuals are trained to help analyze patients’ physical states and provide them with guidance so that they can both get and stay healthy. They can also help with Care Health Heart by providing their patients with the tools they need to combat heart disease, and may be able to assist in the treatment of other chronic diseases. Exercise Physiologists do this by assessing their patients’ overall health through a variety of tests and evaluations. Once this has been completed, they work together with patients to develop personalized Exercise and Physical Fitness routines that are tailored to patients’ lifestyles. Exercise Physiologists can help not only those who are ill and need to reevaluate their lifestyles by focusing on Fitness and Exercise, but also those people who simply want to improve their physical condition.  Exercise Physiologists have also been known to work closely with athletes to help them accomplish their goals.

Exercise Physiologists view exercise as a form of medical treatment, not simply a recreational activity. They point out that diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes can often be traced back to sedentary lifestyles. These diseases, however, can sometimes be reversed through regular physical exercise, and patients are much more likely to follow an exercise schedule when it is prescribed to them by an Exercise Physiologist who has taken the time to get to know their personal preferences and has tailored a plan to their specific needs. Exercise Physiologists can also be helpful when it comes to Prevention and Wellness, as those with regular Exercise and Physical Fitness plans are less likely to suffer from chronic diseases to begin with.
