Navigating the Scope of Practice: Personal Trainers, Physios, Dieticians, Doctors..What can a personal trainer do?
Manage episode 463252467 series 2949479
One of the ongoing discussions people in the health space (I'll include everyone in that; Doctors, Physios, Dieticians, Nutritionists, Personal trainers etc) keep having is about "scope of practice".
For instance; Someone who is not a registered dietician can not give out personalised meal plans, telling you exactly what to eat. It doesn't matter whether they're a personal trainer or a GP, they don't have the qualifications to do so.
You will often hear physio therapists say the same thing; "If your client has an injury then you should refer out to a physio" and technically they are correct.
However, there are some grey areas in this. What about a minor niggle? Can/should a personal trainer refer out? I mean, you don't go to A&E with a small cut on your finger, do you?
And what happens when a qualified professional is seemingly incapable of helping you but someone in an adjacent profession does have the solution?
I give the example of my knee pain which physiotherapists kept messing around with and nothing was resolved, then I saw my sports massage therapist and he diagnosed the cause in 2 minutes and fixed it within 3 sessions. Should I not have listened? Should he have sent me away, back to the physios that didn't have the solution the first time?
All that, and more, in today's episode;
As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.
So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!
BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering.
