Is physio like a personal trainer?
Physiotherapy is not like a personal trainer. Physiotherapists have six years of schooling and a lifetime of continuing education. They are experts in movement and function as it relates to specific medical conditions. Personal trainers have a much less rigorous educational requirement, usually just a certificate. They focus on overall strength and conditioning not how it relates to a specific medical condition. Personal trainers often work with a physiotherapist, under their guidance to supplement the treatments of a physiotherapist.
