The science of designing safe and appropriate postrehab exercise programs is knowing whether the load of a given exercise exceeds the tensile strength of any repair tissue at any given point in time after injury or surgery.

Simply put, if the load of a given exercise exceeds the tensile strength - then it's contra-indicated or inappropriate for that client at that point in time.

The historical reluctance of healthcare professionals to refer to personal trainers is the fear and the associated liability risk, that personal trainers do not know how to evaluate exercises for medical conditions.  What is an inappropriate exercise for a client with spondylolithesis or disc herniation?

While 'sexy exercises' or 'the latest exercise trend' may be good for business, it doesn't mean it's appropriate for all clients.

For this reason, the sign of a truly professional personal trainer isn't their knowledge of the 'indicated' exercises it's the ability to identify 'contra-indicated' exercises for their clients at every stage of tissue repair and maturation.

Given that inappropropriate exercises can result in re-injury, permanent pain and disability in post-rehab clients, additional education and training is required to understand medical pathologies, tissue healing, the role of exercise and how to critically evaluate exercises for their appropriateness or inappropriateness.
