Benefits of Personal Training 

What many people don’t realize is how beneficial it can be to participate in a personal training program after physical therapy treatment!

Personal training and physical therapy are similar, but not the same thing. Holistic PT in Tampa, Florida is happy to provide both services to our patients in need, right in the comfort of your home. To learn more about the benefits of personal training, contact our clinic today to set up an appointment, and start feeling your absolute best.

Why should I see a personal trainer?

If you are someone who would like expert advice on how to create the best exercise or workout routine for your lifestyle and body type, a personal trainer is the person to go to. You can work with a personal trainer to start on a fitness plan that meets your physical goals and needs. It’s also a great idea to see one if you’re trying to prevent injury. 

It’s important to understand that unless your personal trainer is also a licensed physical therapist, they cannot diagnose injuries, however, here at Holistic PT, your personal trainer can work with your physical therapist to make sure your exercise plan is in line with the progress you made from your PT treatment plan. If you’re in pain, it’s a good idea to visit a Holistic PT physical therapist before starting a workout with a personal trainer. 

Personal training and nutrition

Working with a personal trainer to develop an exercise program, as well as a healthy nutritional plan, is a great way to shed some extra pounds if you’re looking to lose weight. 

Holistic PT’s personal trainers and health coaches can help you to design a personalized program focused on individualized weight training, nutritional education, cardiovascular exercise programs, and other natural interventions to help you with your weight loss goals. Our certified health coaches at Holistic PT also provide our patients with nutritional guidance coupled with education and holistic methods for improved overall health. 

Working with Holistic PT we can help you understand how much you should be ingesting for your body type and health needs, and when more or fewer intakes of a certain food group may be beneficial. The goal is balance!

Eating the right foods plays a huge role in how successful you are at building and maintaining strength and muscle. If your nutritional intake is not properly balanced, your physical function can be impaired. For example, neglecting to eat carbs before participating in strenuous physical activity will cause your body to burn fat as a substitute for fueling your energy. Your body may even start burning protein, which can deprive your muscles of the strength they normally have! 

We also offer functional training with our personal trainer at Holistic PT in Tampa, FL. Functional training involves training the body for the activities performed in daily life. It includes adapting and/or developing exercises that allow individuals to perform these activities more easily without hurting themselves. This can be exceptionally beneficial for athletes or people who enjoy playing sports on a regular basis and need to ensure they’re avoiding injuries. 

The therapists and highly-educated trainers at Holistic PT in Tampa, FL can guide an athlete throughout the entire post-injury process to maximize their fitness and performance and return the injured area to a sufficiently healed and stable state that will allow the athlete to safely return to play.
