In the world of health and fitness there are two professionals that you’ll be familiar with that play a vital role in helping individuals to achieve their wellness goals. Personal trainers and Physiotherapists: in the past both roles were considered to have different areas of expertise. Physiotherapy specialising in assessing, diagnosing and treating various musculoskeletal conditions with an extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. This allowed physiotherapists to identify and treat patients with a high level of accuracy to provide rehabilitation to patients with soft tissue injuries or following surgery/operation. Personal trainers however traditionally focused on improving overall fitness, strength and conditioning. The sharp tip of the spear designing programs tailored and individualised to clients goals whether that be weight loss, muscle building or improving performance.
In days gone by, physiotherapists and personal trainers would bridge the gap between rehabilitation in fitness. The physiotherapist evaluating and treating a clients injury, collaborating with a personal trainer to provide insight into the patients strengths, weaknesses and training considerations. In this way the personal trainer could then create an individualised plan that considers their clients’ needs, working around activities that may aggravate the injury or slow down the recovery process. However interestingly more and more we hear the same message:
“I want to get back into the gym, but my physio tells me to stop training, and my PT doesn’t understand and take into account my injuries, so I’m stuck”.
“Connor The Physio” exists to bridge this gap, to fill the grey area that exists where physiotherapy stops and personal training begins. With the knowledge and qualifications as a physiotherapist to address underlying musculoskeletal conditions and the experience as a personal trainer to develop clear training programs based on your injury history, strengths and weaknesses to take you through rehabilitation and back into consistent, accountable and monitored exercise that promotes strength, cardiovascular health and injury reduction. By combining skillsets Connor The Physio aims to provide Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland with face to face and online rehabilitation, pain management and movement correction in addition to training programs focussed on improving your fitness, strength and performance helping you to lead a healthier, happier life.
