Exercise rehabilitation is specifically concerned with restoring good health and physical capability to people after illness or injury, or improving quality of life and managing physical function in people with chronic disease and physical disabilities. Accredited exercise physiologists are allied health professionals who specialise in the delivery of exercise for the prevention and management of chronic diseases and injuries. There is a forecasted growth of 19.9% within Medical and Health Care Services and with this brings exciting employment opportunities and career options.
