Get the Results You’re Looking for with Personal Training
As physical therapists, we understand the importance of exercise. But what do you do when your physical therapy program comes to an end? How can you stay active and motivated as you work on building lifelong healthy habits?
At Maverick Physiotherapy, we recognize these challenges, which is why we offer personal training as part of our services. People who remain active after physical therapy typically have the best outcomes, and working with a personal trainer provides the guidance and support you need to get results.
Our personalized programs will help you stay motivated! Schedule an appointment to learn more about our St Paul, MN-based personal trainers.
Personal Training vs Physical Therapy
Our personal trainers work alongside our physical therapists to ensure you receive the best possible outcomes. But what’s the difference between these two professions? Let’s take a look:
- Physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who have earned a Doctorate of Physical Therapy at an accredited program. They can evaluate and treat various musculoskeletal conditions, focusing on helping patients improve their function and quality of life.
- Personal trainers work with clients to improve their health and fitness through guided exercise programs. While they are not required by law to have any special education or training, many receive accreditation from various institutions.
Our personal trainers typically “take over” when your physical therapy program ends. They’ll help you improve various areas of fitness once you’re no longer in rehabilitation, helping you live a healthy, active lifestyle.
