How Would you Ensure A Safe Approach To Personal Training A Client After Shoulder Dislocation?

Written By Jesse Snyder

First:

1) Get more information from referring physicians on any contraindications. If contraindications exist, don’t do them.

2) Get more information from the rehab specialist

3) What are the client’s goals?

Remember, you’re not a clinician - you’re a trainer. If someone has physician clearance you should be clear to train compound movements. Stay in your lane and scope of practice.

4) Use graded exposure to build strength in horizontal and vertical pushing/pulling while allowing your client to reach his/her goals

5) Get feedback(Pain, enjoyment) from the client and modify Load, ROM, Volume, Intensity as needed.

Don’t try to be something you’re not. We are personal trainers, not clinicians. Refer back to a clinician as needed!

More than a personal trainer, my education in physiological sciences provides me with the unique ability to address a wide variety of wellness related issues. My vision for people's health transcends beyond the gym environment. People's health is a serious matter for me, and as a trainer with an academic background in the physiological sciences, I have the opportunity to stand in a unique position to help address a wide variety of health and wellness related issues.
