The Safe Return Personal Training (SRPT) course is based
on a model designed to serve exercise professionals like
personal trainers to correct movement dysfunctions while
alleviating disability seen in individuals recovering from
injury.
The face of healthcare is changing, with reimbursements
for patient care shrinking. As a result, patients are being
discharged from rehabilitation, often not ready to resume
pre-injury levels of activity, or receive no rehabilitation
at all because they cannot afford it. Often these individuals
are informed by their clinicians to start or keep strengthening
and end up with you, the personal trainer. The SRPT course
and it principles offers a safe return to activity, guarding
against future injury.
This 30-hour Certification program includes 12 hours of
lecture, 12 hours of practical training and a 20-hour internship. The
course is taught over 4 weeks for greater retention, with
written and practical testing conducted in week 5. Topics
include Kinetic Integrations Strategies to resolve Movement
Dysfunctions, Perpetual Models and client exercise flow,
Injuries and Posture and their effect on ability and disability,
Trunk, Upper Extremity and Lower Extremity injuries and their
interactions within the Kinetic Chain.
