Exercise is now being
treated like a drug to treat a vast array of conditions and injuries.
It is important to make sure that the prescription is appropriate. You
wouldn’t trust an under qualified doctor to prescribe medication, so
don’t trust an under qualified fitness instructor to prescribe exercise.
Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) have been identified as the
occupation with the appropriate training to deliver this service. The
Federal Government has accordingly provided AEPs with provider numbers
for patients to claim services under Medicare’s Enhanced Primary Care
Plan.
"We
know of no single intervention with greater promise than physical
exercise to reduce the risk of virtually all chronic diseases
simultaneously" - Booth et al, Journal of Applied Physiology 2000.
CoMotion provides many
services to either treat injury or, more importantly, promote good
health. After all, prevention is better than cure, and treating the
cause better than treating the symptom.
Read on to see why your current exercise program may be causing injury,
and why our programs will promote good health and an efficiently
working body.
