Help! My Client Showed Up Injured!


Listen Later

What do you do when your client shows up with no warning and a laundry list of aches and pains???

Yes, it happens more than you think.

Part of being a great coach is being able to adapt, know when the issue is not in your lane, and determine how to proceed.

In this episode, Betsy discusses…

  • The common fear amongst new trainers that they might “break” their clients
  • Why you should be prepared for not getting advanced warning about aches, pains, and doctors orders
  • The importance of distinguishing between pain and other words to describe stiffness, fatigue, soreness
  • When to REFER OUT
  • When to ask for permission and proceed with assessments that fall within your scope/adapt the program
  • How to handle physical therapist/doctor’s orders (hint, hint- talk to that practitioner if you can)
  • The importance of being compassionate about the emotions that come with your client’s injury/pain

Don’t get caught off guard! Listen to this one and be prepared for your clients so you can deliver the best possible coaching.
