WHAT IS POST-REHAB FITNESS?

Post-rehabilitation is the development and implementation of fitness programming for clients with special population and post-rehab conditions. Post-rehab services can range from one session in a client’s home to establish a home program to a training program requiring two to three sessions per week.

Post-rehab professionals assess and develop exercise programs for clients with residual functional deficits remaining after the diagnosis and treatment of acute, subacute and chronic disease by Medical Doctors, Physical Therapist, and/or Chiropractors.

Post-rehab does not purport to provide any aspect of medical treatment of a client’s condition. Each client will complete a musculoskeletal and/or cardiovascular FITSCREEN prior to beginning any activity. The client will be sent back to their referring practitioner. If he or she demonstrates any of the following red flags:

• Radiating Pain
• Numbness/Tingling
• Chest Pain/Shortness of Breath
• Swelling
• Loss of Range of Motion
• Night Pain
• Open Wounds

Post-Rehabilitation training requires a clear understanding of fitness professional’s role when working with post-rehab clients. Clients should be properly screened to ensure their safety and the integrity of the program. Every client should be required to have a referral from a Physician, Physical Therapist or Chiropractor. The referral should indicate the client’s condition the requested services and expectations of duration and frequency of the post-rehab program. Post-rehab fitness services can help “Bridge the Gap Between Health Care and Fitness” by offering corporate employers and insurance companies a way to minimize risk through a combination of educational lectures and hands on conditioning courses. Our program can be designed to help minimize work related injuries and/or return employees to work at higher functional level following discharge from treatment by a licensed medical professional.
