What does a physiologist do on a daily basis?

A physiologist conducts patient tests and assessments, designs and implements exercise plans, and provides patients with guidance and education. Here are some details on the common daily activities of a physiologist:

• Conducts patient tests and assessments. A physiologist uses patient assessments to make diagnoses on a daily basis. This includes a variety of patient-related activities, such as physical exams and other tests to determine a patient's physical capabilities and limitations in relation to strength, flexibility, and other areas.
• Designs and implements exercise plans. A physiologist designs a unique exercise and fitness plan for each patient on a daily basis. They base their plans on the current fitness status of each patient, so each plan is almost always going to be different in some way. All plans are backed up by their medical knowledge.
• Provides patients with guidance and education. Physiologists also monitor patient progress during treatment and educate them on how to function in their daily lives to improve their overall health and mobility. They might also speak with family members or caretakers if the patient is a minor. Physiologists interact with many patients daily.
