According to the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA), the scope of practice for a NSCA-certified personal trainer (NSCA-CPT) includes designing safe and effective exercise programs and providing guidance to help clients achieve their personal health and fitness goals.
At Helm PT, your therapist is not only an experienced licensed physical therapist but is also a certified personal trainer who, as a health and fitness professional, uses an individualized approach to assess, motivate, educate, and train clients according to their health, fitness, and wellness needs.

Sessions consist of personalized therapeutic activities, all with interactive professional feedback as you work toward achieving your health and fitness goals, including:
- development of a safe, customized workout plan specific to your requirements
- instruction in proper weight training exercise form and technique
- correction of any compensatory movement patterns and muscle imbalances
