Athletic Trainer VS Personal Trainer

Why hire an athletic trainer for your fitness and post-rehabilitation needs?

1) ATC are educated in orthopedic injuries and rehabilitation
2) ATC hold Board Certification and License
3) Vast knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, kinesiology, and anatomy
4) Will get you the results based of your needs and job function 

The biggest difference between a Personal Trainer VS an Athletic Trainer is the ability of AT to work with various populations of people i.e. geriatrics, bariatrics, sedentary, or athletic. 



For example, the needs of an athlete are vastly different than the needs of someone graduating from physical therapy with a total knee replacement. 
Understanding the differences with respects to your needs is why you should hire an athletic trainer for your fitness & post-rehabilitation.
