The Story Behind Connected Rehab
Connected Rehab was developed to simplify the way that we think about injury and general fitness. Here’s the traditional approach: you pick up an injury, and seek out the advice of a healthcare professional. A diagnosis is offered up, and you start your rehab journey. At the end of this journey, you decide it’s time to get yourself in shape. So, you start the process of seeking out a personal trainer.
This is where (in my opinion) the problem lies. You might not know a good personal trainer, who’ll listen and understand your goals. Even with a recommendation from someone you trust, there’s no guarantee that you’ll feel the same way that they do. You’ve just spent the last few months developing a relationship with your healthcare practitioner, but this is worth nothing when it comes to getting fit again.
Eventually, you have to make a commitment (usually financial) and test the water. The personal trainer has no information about your injury, or the way you respond to exercise. They don’t have insight into the rollercoaster of challenges you faced to recover from your injury.
I started Connected Rehab to solve this disconnect. My solution was to bring injury management, strength & conditioning, and nutritional guidance all under the same roof. What’s more, this isn’t just any roof – this is your roof! Connected Rehab operates exclusively online, so you can access all these services from your home!
