No offense but that is actually funny. Do personal trainers know how to treat someone with Parkinson’s MS, CP, geriatric population ortho meaning total hip replacements total knee replacements ORIF do they know about weight-bearing status? Do they know WBAT verse TTWB. Do they know the protocol for acute phase vs chronic phase with an injury. How about assistive devices how to properly use crutches with gait pattern and measurements? Yes people workout with crutches. Contractures, edema how would they treat those? How about simple vitals norms for all vs out of range? Gait patterns and deviations. De-inervated muscles ... what to do? Cervical radiculapathy vs Thoracis outlet syndrome?? The list goes on and on.... and YES all of these can be issue brought up to a trainer. Some trainer no there muscles, do they know origin insertion action and nerve supplying the muscle. Contraindication for certain people..Trainers are great at what the do but clearly cannot be compared to a PTA.
