It is ultimately left up to the trainer or coach to decide what they feel comfortable doing with their knowledge in the particular setting. And I 100% agree with you that people use their certs to attract clients; but that's what the industry demands nowadays. You can't get looked at for a job if you dont have your CSCS and your clients want to see that you have various certs like KB, running and jazzercise.

First time reading your blog and I mus...Hey Mike, <br /><br />First time reading your blog and I must say this is a thought provoking post. I totally agree with you on how the strength & conditioning world has changed. I know the legal definitions of scope of practice but sometimes I feel like there is an overlap depending on the situation. I have a friend for instance, that is a chiropractor, but she was license in California to also do certain physical therapy modalities. Does that mean someone should see her for physical therapy? Probably not. I feel that the guiding indicator as to whether or not you can help someone is pain. If someone is in pain, not your department. If on the other hand someone needs legit strengthening of one area to prevent a muscle imbalance, that I think is ok. The other issue is that I think people use certs as bells and whistles to get more clients. People have a tendency of going with what the paper says as opposed to what the experience says. All in all, great post, it definitely brings up some great points.Andrew Vazquezhttp://www.andrewlvazquez.comnoreply@blogger.com
