Despite all of our best efforts, injuries happen. When they do occur, as a Certified Fitness Trainer you will need to assess your clients ability to train and likely adapt your training protocol to keep them safe. By completing your certification in Exercise Therapy, you will learn the techniques and exercises to rehabilitate your clients from the various injuries that they get from training or any accident.
Our course material is continually updated so you can be sure you're receiving the most accurate and up-to-date information available.
