How is personal training different from physical therapy?
Personal training is a service offered at Everybody Physical Therapy that is separate from physical therapy. With physical therapy the person has a diagnosis such as carpel tunnel or low back pain and all of the treatments are focused on meeting the goals set based on the diagnosis and the findings in the evaluation. Personal training, on the other hand, is not based on a diagnosis. Instead the goals of someone seeking personal training are to learn a safe and effective general exercise/fitness program, weight loss, improved endurance, and improved strength among others. Personal training is not covered by insurance and does not need a referral from your doctor.
