Personal Training is Changing

Gone are the days when a trainer could make a killing offering nothing more than the ability to lose weight and gain muscle. Now trainers are pretty much required to be a member of the medical community, and the best trainers are the ones who have an in-depth knowledge of every aspect of training and can work with every type of client, regardless of their restrictions.

Trainers are also doing more to hang on to their current clients by educating themselves further to be able to roll with the punches and adapt to whatever their clients throw at them. We could call this Darwin’s theory in the fitness industry: Those who can work with everything will continue to work with everything. Those who don’t will find their clients stuck in physiotherapy and unable to train.

Let’s put it another way: If you don’t know what to do with a clients injury,
they stop training, and you’re out of business.

I’ve been there. I’ve been a personal trainer for nearly a decade, and in that time I’ve developed a specialization in injury rehabilitation that helps bridge the gap between where traditional rehabilitation leaves off and where conventional personal training begins. As a result, almost all of my business is referral-based from physicians, physiotherapists, and chiropractors. This grey zone is the next un-tapped market in the fitness industry, and is set to explode in the next decade. Those who know about it will never have to worry about recessions again.

The main reason I decided to put together this product is because there is also an information gap to go with the rehabilitation gap. The majority of information products on the market right now, as well as the majority of the textbooks and video & audio products, are being taught at the level of someone who has completed their degree in physiotherapy or in kinesiology, which unfortunately a lot of trainers haven’t been able to do. The vast majority of personal trainers in North America right now have either entry-level certification, some post-secondary education, or a combination of both. This leaves those trainers looking to get further ahead in a precarious position: They want to get more knowledge but don’t know where to start.

This is where Post Rehab Essentials comes in.

This is a workshop that goes through the basics that every trainer should know about injury post-rehab before working with their clients. It covers the most common conditions of the shoulder, hip, knee and spine, and gives directions on what to do and more importantly, what not to do with the specific injuries. Each section goes through pertinent anatomical information, what adaptations occur with each injury, how to assess and determine who can and cannot begin training, and how to train it to get the best results safely and effectively.  I’ve also included sample programs for each injury, and how to progress them through various stages.

I’ve taught this course almost a dozen times in live settings, and adapted it multiple times to make sure the participants get the most out of it. I’ve also continuously updated it with new research that will help keep you on the cutting edge of the industry, and allow you to give the absolute best workouts to your clients.  There isn’t a more complete resource out there that will give you more information on as wide a variety of injuries and how to work with them as Post Rehab Specialists.

In the course of my career, I’ve spent roughly $20,000 on a degree, then easily an additional $10,000 on books, DVDs, audio recordings, webinars, and other educational media. Add in to this the costs of certifications and additional credentials, and not to mention all the costs associated with traveling and attending different workshops and conferences, I could easily say that I’ve run up a six figure tab trying to teach myself how to work with people to get them better results, regardless of their goals or restrictions. Add in to this the countless free conversations I’ve had with physicians, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, chiropractors, as well as the job shadowing and surgical viewings I’ve been fortunate enough to take part in, and you can see why culminating all this information into an essential series would be a great resource for any trainer to have.

For the attendees of this course, they each had to take time off from work, in some cases travel a long distance, find accommodations, and pay a course registration fee. All this added up to in the neighbourhood of between $500-$2000, just for a 3-day weekend.

This is the beauty of purchasing a digital download like Post Rehab Essentials. You don’t have to travel, take time off work, or pay the registration fee for a specific day. You only have to make one easy investment, and can watch the entire workshop at your leisure, all while having the ability to replay sections over and over again to ensure you are getting it down pat, something very few live presenters will ever accommodate.

The complete package contains the following:

Post-Rehab Introduction

• Outlines different types of forces and how they lead to injury
• How the body becomes injured, and how it heals
• Simple plan to effectively eliminate the risk of overuse injuries and reduce the reoccurrence in any training environment

Upper Quadrant:

• Anatomical considerations for the upper body
• The most common types of upper body injuries, including rotator cuff tears, AC joint separations, and adhesive capsulitis
• Training programs to help reduce the risk of injury and improve function without pain
• What to do, and what not to do with each injury
• How to assess a shoulder, as well as what the findings mean and what to do with them

Lower Quadrant:

• Anatomical considerations for the lower body
• The most common types of lower body injuries, including total hip replacements, total knee replacements, ACL reconstruction, meniscus injuries, patellofemoral syndrome, and IT band friction syndrome
• Training programs to help reduce the risk of injury and improve function without pain
• What to do, and what not to do with each injury
• Methods of assessing the lower body function to design the best program possible

Spine:

• Anatomical and biomechanical considerations for the lumbar spine
• The most common types of injuries, including disc herniations, disc degeneration, facet joint injuries, stenosis, and scoliosis
• Training considerations to help reduce the risk of injury and to improve function
• Methods of assessing the spine to develop the best program possible, when to refer out and how to work with different types of low back pain

In addition to all this, you’ll also get specific exercises and the technical breakdown on what they work, how to properly execute them and how to cue the client to get them into the right movement patterns. I’ve also included easy regressions and progressions for basic movements that everyone does incorrectly.

You don’t just get the videos. You also get a practical workbook that shows how to go through each assessment, exercise breakdown, and program design for each injury discussed. In other words, I’m going to give you the specific assessments, workouts, progressions, regressions and cueing to use with each injury discussed, so you can use it today with your clients and start seeing results.

You also get Continuing Education credits from the NSCA. This product has been approved for 1.2 CEU’s which will help you to keep your certification while getting your learn on.

Here are some of the highlights I go through:

• How most “rehab” programs aren’t tailored to specific needs of the individual
• Joint mechanics that show why some exercises will hurt you while others will help you.
• Why repetitive strain injuries are so common, and how to fix them forever
• Generic assessments tell you nothing, specific assessments tell you everything
• Easy flowchart to follow for each type of injury, from assessment to program design components to the actual programs themselves
• Ways to switch every workout, injured client or not, to get 100 different workouts from the same exercises

In total, you’re going to get 12 hours of videos, the practical workbook, and most importantly, answers to many of the questions you may have about how to train clients with specific injuries.

Think of it this way: If the information you learn from Post-Rehab Essentials helps you get one new client that you wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise, or helps to keep a client who may develop an injury, it’s paid for itself multiple times over. If a client continues to train with you to help improve an existing injury, it’s again paid for itself. Top it off with the fact that if you reduce a clients level of pain or dysfunction, they feel better immediately, and can then get stronger and lose weight faster than on any other program because you took the time to work on what needed working on.

No Pain = Better Results = You look better = More Business

Because I believe in this product so much, and I just know you’re going to walk away with a lot of new information that you will be able to use right away, I’m also going to include a 60 day money-back guarantee. If for whatever reason you don’t feel you learned anything from Post-Rehab Essentials, let me know and I’ll personally issue you a full refund. That won’t be an issue though, because I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I GUARANTEE you will learn at least one new bit of information that will change the way you train your clients and probably help you get more clients to purchase training than before. I make a point in the video of saying I want everyone to take at least 100 points of information with them to add to their trainer toolbox, and I’m sure you’ll get this same benefit.

Do you want to separate yourself from the other trainers in your area, and become an expert rivalled by no one?

Would you like a 100% done for you program to use with your clients to get fast and easy results, while also being ridiculously specific to their issues?

AS AN ADDED BONUS, I’M ALSO GOING TO THROW IN SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL…

I’m also going to include a free bonus video, “How to Develop Medical Referral Networks for Fitness Professionals.” This is a workshop I’ve presented for organizations like canfitpro and the NSCA and have used the concepts discussed inside to build a referral network of over 100 health professionals who refer their patients to our trainers for Post Rehab training.
