Personal Training and Fitness
Clients seek our services to begin a safe and effective exercise plan or to improve upon an existing exercise plan. Each Physical Therapist at FFPT has a strong background in Exercise Physiology, including fitness assessment and exercise prescription and will tailor a thorough fitness program for each client to best suit that client’s goals.
All personal training programs begin with an in depth fitness assessment performed by a Physical Therapist.
Key aspects that are evaluated include:
· Gait
· Posture
· Balance
· Strength
· Muscle length and flexibility
· Cardiovascular response to exercise
· Ability to perform functional movements
After the initial fitness assessment, a thorough program will be developed and implemented aimed at reaching each client’s individual goals. Programs may include home exercise programs that are monitored and progressed on a periodic basis, cardiovascular training, core strengthening, functional training, mat and machine based strengthening, stretching, postural education and basic dietary and nutritional education.
Clients typically seek personal training programs to:
· Maintain functional outcomes achieved from a prior rehabilitation program
· Improve overall health and fitness level
· Prevent or minimize pain
· Improve sport performance
· Lose weight
