From Personal Trainer to Movement Specialist: Expanding Your Impact

Session Type:
Do you ever feel your potential as a personal trainer isn’t fully recognised? Personal Trainers don’t just build muscles, but have a huge role to play in their clients’ health and pain-free movement.

This session challenges the narrow expectations often placed on PTs, and empowers participants to highlight their proficiency in identifying and improving movement dysfunction.

Through biomechanics, physiology, and movement science, we’ll delve into the links between pain and movement, and explore how PTs can effectively mitigate pain through movement assessments and interventions. This work can extend PTs impact beyond conventional boundaries, ultimately achieving better client satisfaction and health outcomes.

Learning Outcomes:
– Understand how personal trainers can move beyond traditional expectations by leveraging their expertise in movement, biomechanics, and physiology
– Apply research-backed strategies to build stronger client relationships and enhance outcomes
– Understand the role of movement quality in pain mitigation
– Position themselves as movement coaches through the use of functional assessments and evidence-informed interventions
– Develop skills to identify and improve movement dysfunction, leading to enhanced client health, confidence, and performance
