Wellness Coaches are health professionals who specialize in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. They use a variety of techniques to help patients restore movement, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.

Wellness Coaches may work with all types of clients—from athletes to senior citizens—but they typically focus on people who have sustained an injury or developed a condition that requires specialized rehabilitation.

A Wellness Coach typically has a wide range of responsibilities, which can include:

Duties & Responsibilities

• Planning and executing treatment programs that emphasize strength training and flexibility exercises
• Educating patients on weekly topics based around their specific diagnosis (i.e. Hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance, etc.)
• Perform postural assessments and gait analysis to identify areas of concern
• Develop and progress individualized corrective exercise programs based on patient assessment results
• Educate patients on the importance of proper movement mechanics and how to incorporate self-myofascial release and stretching into their daily routines
• Modify exercises as needed to accommodate for injuries or other limitations
• Progress clients through their corrective exercise programs in a safe and effective manner

Wellness Coach Skills

Wellness Coaches need the following skills in order to be successful:

Communication: Wellness Coaches communicate with their patients to understand their goals and develop a plan to achieve them. They also communicate with other health professionals to ensure their patients receive the most effective treatment. This requires them to be able to explain complex medical information in a way that their clients can understand.

Collaboration: Wellness Coaches often work with other health professionals to develop treatment plans for their clients. They may work with chiropractors, occupational therapists and other medical professionals to create treatment plans that include corrective exercise. This collaboration can help them develop treatment plans that are more effective for their patients.

Leadership: Wellness Coaches often work with a team of other professionals, including physical therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers and other wellness coaches. Leadership skills can help you manage a team and ensure everyone completes their tasks. You can also use leadership skills to motivate your team and help them develop their skills.

Problem-solving: Wellness Coaches use problem-solving skills to help patients overcome physical limitations. For example, if a patient has knee pain, a corrective exercise specialist may use problem-solving skills to identify the cause of the pain and develop a plan to reduce it. They may also use problem-solving skills to create individualized exercise programs for each patient.

Knowledge: Corrective exercise specialists need to have a thorough understanding of the human body and how it functions. This can help them determine which exercises are most effective for each patient. They also need to understand how to modify exercises to ensure they are safe for each patient.
