Scope of Practice

What, exactly, do Personal Fitness Trainers (PFTs) do? Remember, we are not therapists, but we can work with your physical or occupational therapist and physician to design a program once we have completed an assessment. Our goal is to keep you safe, work with you to meet your goals and help you transform to a healthier you.
