What is an Exercise Physiologist?

An exercise physiologist is a healthcare professional who has an academic degree in exercise physiology from an accredited college or university and is certified by an accredited organization. The exercise physiology practice involves four areas: promoting health and wellness, preventing illness and disability, restoring health, helping athletes reach their potential in sports training and performance.

What is a Board Certified Sports Registered Dietitian?

Sports Dietitians are experienced registered dietitians who apply evidence based nutrition knowledge in exercise and sport. They assess, educate, and counsel athletes and active individuals. They design, implement, and manage safe and effective nutrition strategies that enhance lifelong health, fitness, and optimal performance.

How do Exercise Physiologists and Physical Therapists work together at HSS?

Our exercise physiologists and physical therapists work closely together to provide a bridge between rehabilitative care and getting back to what you love to do.

What is a Massage Therapist?

Our massage therapists use manual manipulation of muscle and soft tissue for clinical and therapeutic application.
