Purpose
To provide fitness professionals with insight, information, and practical skills regarding the conditioning of medically cleared clients recovering from a musculoskeletal injury.

The course will educate the fitness trainer on the following objectives:
- Knowledge of normal physiological responses and adaptations at each Stage of post-injury healing
- The ability to recognize the signs and symptoms associated with each stage of healing
- The ability to select the correct Starting Exercise program for each stage of healing
