I have been a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in the state of Florida since 1995. I have been certified as a Personal Trainer with the American Council on Exercise since 2000.
Member of the American Physical Therapy Association since 1994.
I work in the home health sector in Charlotte County and specialize with patients that have had orthopedic surgeries and assisting in Fall prevention protocols all within the home setting.
We have the expertise to prescribe individualized, safe, and effective exercise programs for older clients/patients who may have a number of complicating health factors, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, joint replacement, diabetes, hypertension, and deconditioning. We will make modifications that are typically not within the expertise of a fitness trainer. We can make for you appropriate referrals when or if we detect a serious medical condition.
Total joint Fitness was launched with the intent to provide medically-based exercise training with a high level of service to one or more of the following groups of people:
* Individuals who are recovering from one or more injuries, have had surgery, or others having completed formal physical therapy and are ready to continue their progress into more exercise based activities. People that are seeking guidance on how to perform exercise training safely and productively, while keeping in mind the limits of their injury history.
* Individuals who are seeking to initiate an exercise program, but have not done so for many potential reasons, some of them related to having trouble with exercise programs in the past due to pain of an orthopedic nature.
