Episode 188 – The Gray Area Of Pain: What Every Trainer Needs To Know
In my earlier professional years, I used to think any client pain was automatically off-limits for trainers and fitness professionals. But over the years, I’ve changed my mind. In this episode, I dive into the scope of practice grey area, why I have changed my stance, and how trainers and fitness pros can safely and effectively navigate client pain We unpack why gatekeeping doesn’t serve anyone, how understanding red flags can prevent unnecessary medical care, and why movement (even while navigating pain) is often exactly what your clients need. If you’re a trainer, coach, or movement professional who wants clarity around your role, this episode is for you.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
