Physiologist

A Physiologist is a healthcare professional who studies the functions and processes of the human body, often focusing on how these processes affect physical performance and health. They may work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, or research institutions, where they assess patients' physical capabilities, develop exercise programs, and provide rehabilitation services.

Physiologist duties include conducting fitness assessments, interpreting physiological data, advising on health and wellness strategies, and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to optimise patient care and recovery.
