🌱 Why Discussing Seeing an Exercise Physiologist with Your GP Can Be Essential for Your Health…
Prioritising our health is so important for living a quality life.
Regular exercise plays a valuable role in maintaining good health and preventing various chronic diseases. However, starting and maintaining an exercise regimen can be challenging.
That’s where the expertise of an EP comes into play. But before jumping into your exercise journey, it’s crucial to have a conversation with your GP about seeing an EP. Here’s why:
➡️ Health & Fitness Assessment - As your primary healthcare provider, your GP oversees your overall health and well-being. Discussing your interest in seeing an EP allows your GP to review your current physical health status comprehensively. Your GP can provide you with a formal referral, ensuring a smooth transition to working with an EP. This also ensures that your exercise program is integrated into your overall healthcare plan.
➡️ Coordinated Care - By involving your GP in the decision to see an EP, you facilitate communication and coordination between your healthcare team. This ensures that your exercise program aligns with any existing treatments or interventions prescribed by your GP.
➡️ Long-Term Monitoring - Health is a journey, not a destination. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential for tracking progress, adjusting interventions, and addressing any emerging health concerns. By keeping your GP informed about your exercise program, they can monitor your progress over time, make any necessary adjustments, and provide ongoing support and guidance.
