The assessment of the knowledge and perception of personal trainers within Durban with respect to chiropractic

Abstract

If the professions of chiropractic and personal training are to work together for the total well-being of the client, then it has to be assessed whether or not a milieu of co-operation exists, and if it does not, possible reasons for the lack thereof. It was the purpose of this study to determine the current knowledge and perceptions of personal trainers (PTs) with respect to the chiropractic profession in Durban. This study therefore established a knowledge base to facilitate greater understanding and co-operation between PTs and chiropractors regarding the referral of clients, who may benefit from a combined treatment program from the PT and chiropractor.
