Eliminating the Fear of Working With Special Populations

Eliminating the Fear of Working With Special Populations

1 CEC - Presented: September 17

Many clients present to us today have variety of ailments or special conditions causing us to wonder “Am I the right trainer to work with you?” Working with special populations doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, it can be quite rewarding to help a client with a unique concern reach their fitness goals. In this webinar, we will discuss the attributes of a client that requires a customized approach. In addition, we will look at ways to develop alternative screening tools for a thorough fitness assessment and health history. Through this process we will develop ways to communicate better with clients and their other health care providers to develop their ideal fitness program.
