Glad I came across this video. My new client advised to have back pain and this video gave me a lot of information to use in my planning. Thanks always for great info.
All of your videos are SOOO helpful! I just got my NASM pt cert and these videos are helping me figure out where to go from here. Can’t thank you enough!
I’ve been bin watching all your videos lol. Great information you’ve been sharing with us. I’ve been a personal trainer for a year and your videos have helped me refresh my memory and I’ve learned more too. Thank you
Thank you for the content! I’m a massage therapist of 10 years transitioning to personal training (got my certification just before COVID yay) I’m trying to get going with training but I haven’t worked in a gym setting yet. Question: when planning out client workouts, I’ve seen the whole micro/meso/ macro cycle for planning periodization...but how many workouts do you plan at a time? How far in advance do you already have your workouts put together? A week out, a month out, three months out?? The obsessive side of me needs to know what is realistic and what is a waste of time 😅
This is actually a really good question and to be honest, there are multiple correct answers here! I typically only plan out each session specifically a day or a week in advance. That being said, I follow a phasing system and have a workout chart that makes it so I don’t have to do a ton of planning ahead of time. I think this is the best way to do things because it allows me to stay flexible in my routines but also gives things structure. Hopefully that makes sense!
Keep things light and basic. Start with body weight squats and really work on form. Bridges are another good lower body exercise that the majority of clients do well with. Have them do some light pushing too. A push-up variation like a wall or kneeling push-up can be good. Also, do lots of pulling. Rows, reverse flyes etc. Do light core exercises in the beginning. Make them more challenging as you progress them. Focus on mobility in the beginning and end of the session. These are some of the techniques that I use with clients like you’re describing.
Do you still do the movement screens if they’ve answered yes on anything on the parq or health questions or get the clearance from dr before even doing movement screening
I recently injured my back and spent 3 months unable to walk and had to have 2 surgeries. If I re-injure my back I need to have a spinal fusion. Once I’m better I need to relearn how to workout without injuring my back - is there a certain qualification I should look for in a new trainer?
I would certainly start with physical therapy if you haven’t already. A physical therapist should be willing to tell a trainer what they think you should and shouldn’t do based on your injury. I would make sure to find a trainer with a reputable cert (NASM, ACE, ACSM, NSCA) and at least 3 years of experience.
Hello, great video, I want to help clients with back pain/posture issues, do you think this is something that can be done as online coaching rather than one 2 one sessions? Would like to know your thoughts. Thank you
Thank you! I definitely think this can be worked on in an online training program! All you would have to do is program extra pulling exercises, a few specific stretches, and also encourage them to maintain good posture as much as possible throughout the day. I would make sure that working on their posture is a priority before doing that work with them though.
Thank you for your reply, I completed the level 4 back pain management course just before 1st lockdown but because of gyms opening and closing my thoughts have geared towards online coaching. I will be giving clients exercises that stretch the tight/shortened and strengthening the long weak muscles and afterwards focus on back strengthening exercises.
Sorry that I am being such a questioner lol. On the informed consent it uses the word trainer rather than coach, can I still use this form if my approach is coaching rather than me being a trainer?
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Thanks for your reply, In the video all the statements you gave is realistic and fellow the professionalism that is why I am curious to know the evidence so I can also use it in my practice. I hope it is ok. Much appreciate.

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation thank you!
Thank you for the very helpful videos! If a muscle is tight because its overstretched, is it a bad idea to foam roll those areas?
It’s not necessarily a bad thing to roll that area out. That said, tight and overstretched muscles will benefit most from strengthening
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducationthank you!
How to deal with clients with sciatica issues?
Can you recommend exercises for a person who has never worked out and is just starting? A person with almost no flexibility.
Keep things light and basic. Start with body weight squats and really work on form. Bridges are another good lower body exercise that the majority of clients do well with.
Have them do some light pushing too. A push-up variation like a wall or kneeling push-up can be good. Also, do lots of pulling. Rows, reverse flyes etc.
Do light core exercises in the beginning. Make them more challenging as you progress them.
Focus on mobility in the beginning and end of the session. These are some of the techniques that I use with clients like you’re describing.
Awesome. Thanks so much I will try that
Do you still do the movement screens if they’ve answered yes on anything on the parq or health questions or get the clearance from dr before even doing movement screening
If they answered yes, I got health clearance before doing any type of movement with the client.

@@neskarraksen that sounds great!

Haha don’t be sorry! We like questions! Ya you can still use it! It’s should cover you all the same.
Sir, may I ask if you have evidence of what you are saying, could you please kindly share that on the comment. Appreciate
Sure, I could could give you evidence. Was there a statement I made that you feel you need evidence for specifically?
@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Thanks for your reply, In the video all the statements you gave is realistic and fellow the professionalism that is why I am curious to know the evidence so I can also use it in my practice. I hope it is ok.
