    This is a course designed for anyone serving the senior population in fields of health, fitness or wellness. It is also designed as a Continuing Education Credit Course for Personal Trainers. Its purpose is to empower the service provider with a keen understanding of the senior population and its unique challenges, so that the quality of service delivered may be outstanding, hence creating a stronger relationship and a longer client retention. Some general as well as specific physical issues are covered, but the main intent of the course is to create a greater sense of awareness from a psychological standpoint. With this foundation in place, the service provider enhances his or her ability to tailor to the needs of the senior client in other areas as well.

Requirements

  • Basic anatomy and biomechanics would help, but is not necessary
  • If applying for Continuing Education Credits, the student must submit the completion certificate (included at the end of the course). If any additional material is needed for credit, the student is welcome to contact me through my website.
