COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is the foundational accreditation for learning R+E+H+A+B and working as an effective Rehab Trainer, teaching you the knowledge, skills, and giving you the equipment, to unofficially join the ‘rehab team’.

After completing the Rehab Essentials course, fitness professionals will function according to the five-part “Rehab Trainer” model as a safe and effective method to achieve that goal. This model is quite distinct from the Physiotherapy model, therefore preventing the concern that professional boundaries are being crossed. Rather, Rehab Trainers seek to strengthen old boundaries: specifically, that personal trainers should never diagnose injuries, should refer high risk injuries immediately to an allied health professional, and should not engage in certain types of isolation exercises that are most effectively carried out by a physiotherapist. Therefore, be assured – you are not attempting to become a physiotherapist. You are becoming a more highly skilled fitness professional who has a new tool-box of skills with which to deal with the litany of small niggling injuries that plagues the fitness industry.

The 3-day Rehab Essentials course is the foundation of your Rehab skill set. It is also a pre-requisite for the Rehab Masterclass.
