There is a huge gap that I have noticed with health and fitness. There are a lot more healthcare professionals and doctors who are not taking advantage of the fitness industry. Some doctors also still refuse exercise programs to certain patients citing that their cases are too chronic. Yet there are numerous cases which show proper nutrition and exercise have actually got people back on their feet and in good health in spite of being bed ridden. Doctors might suggest physiotherapy but the problem with most medical physiotherapy today is it only goes to a certain level and stops and then the client just keeps on and on with a physio program that does nothing much for them after the initial first few sessions.
Its strange to me because the body has this one principle - If it is moving and kept active in the right way it will get stronger and medical professionals know that. If you are a medical prrofessional reading this are are genuinely concerned about your patients please consider looking for a professional fitness professional and working with them in designing your patients recovery plan.
So here are my suggestions as a fitness professional to medical professionals.
1) Look for partnerships: If doctors and professional fitness trainers partner together there is the best of experience coming in together. The doctors experience and knowledge coming in along with the trainers knowledge of exercise and or nutrition will definitely help the patient recover faster. If need be come in with a nutritionist and physio. The point to note here is primarily 'THE HEALTH AND LIFE OF THE PATIENT.
If you are not willing to do that for your patient why on earth are you a medical pro and spent those many years in medical school? After all a patient who is getting healthier is less of a burden for you.
2) Find out exactly what teaming up with fitness professionals can do for you:- Nearly all of the time, if you find a professional trainer your results as a doctor or medical professional can be enhanced. You will have an exchange of ideas and experience which could help you in other cases. You also will have a great team to work with if the trainer knows a really good nutritionist.
From a business perspective you can build your network and have a win win situation gaining more clients.
3) Which areas can you help the patient in? If you are unsure about exercise patterns for rehab of a patient, thats when you need a fitness professional to step in. A good fitness professional will work along with you in devising an appropriate exercise plan. If there are restrictions that you advise there will be ways to maintain those restrictions but also have an effective program.
From a pre-hab point of view you can always suggest patients to be more preventive and get into a fitness program or lose bodyfat weight safely telling them the advantages of staying fit and healthy and losing bodyfat weight.
In all its a win-win-win situation. The patient knows they are in the best care possible and chances of recovery are greater. You are exchanging ideas and learning and increasing your network and networth. The trainer increases thier network and networth while adding value to the patients life.
