How a Personal Trainer Helps Injury Recovery & Prevention

A Certified Personal Trainer can help during your recovery process

If you’re recovering from an injury — whether it’s a knee surgery, a back injury, an injured shoulder, or something else — a Certified Personal Trainer can assist you during your recovery process by creating programs designed specifically for your, your injuries, and where you are in your recovery. These programs can supplement work you’re already doing on your own or with a physical therapist.

Why a Certified Personal Trainers are useful for injury recovery.

Certified Personal Trainers have knowledge of the body’s anatomy and physiology. With a degree from UNC-Chapel Hill in Exercise & Sports Science and certifications in personal training and strength & conditioning, Khris Francis will design a program for you based on the injury you’re recovering from and where you are in the recovery process.

Khris will work with you adjust intensity, range of motion, and types of exercise to avoid causing further injury, while working to improve things like strength and range of motion.

Working out with Khris in a one-on-one setting allows him to monitor your form and technique to reduce the risk of re-injury, and he will be able to correct your movements. Coming back from injury can also be tough psychologically. Khris is ready to help motivate you and provide consistency in your rehabilitation journey.

If you’re already working with a doctor or physical therapist, Khris can work with their plan of care to make sure you have a cohesive recovery plan.

How Certified Personal Trainers can help prevent injuries.

If you’re an athlete playing a sport or an adult who just wants to ensure you remain active throughout life, working with a Certified Personal Trainer can help prevent injuries that could sideline you.

When personal trainer Khris Francis meets with a client for the first time, he will get a baseline of where you are in your fitness journey. This includes existing or past injuries, posture, imbalances, and weaknesses that could increase the risk of the injury. He’ll look for how well you move, how flexible you are, and do mobility tests as necessary. Getting a baseline allows Khris to create a program specific to your needs.

Personal trainers help prevent injuries by putting together strength and conditioning programs specific to you. Stronger muscles and joins means your body can better handle physical stress. When you add flexibility training and mobility exercises, your range of motion will improve, which will also decrease injury risk. A personal trainer will ensure you’re not increasing intensity too fast and can help avoid overuse injuries.

One important piece of working with a personal trainer is the education that comes along with it. Personal trainers will teach you the correct way to conduct specific exercises, using correct form. These same practices can be used in every day life, such as when you’re lifting a heavy object. This helps prevent injuries that occur while doing day-to-day activities. You’ll also learn about the importance of things like warm up routines and recovery practices.

When you talk to Khris about your one-on-one training, tell him about any injury concerns you may have. This will help him create a plan specific to you.
