Overview
About Your Instructor

Dr. Michael Mash
PT, DPT, CSCS, SFMA, FMS, Cert. TMM
Hi, I’m Michael, founder of Barbell Rehab.
If you’re a personal trainer or strength coach, you’ve likely worked with clients who’ve had surgery and aren’t quite back to full function.
Too often, these individuals are discharged from physical therapy with less pain, but still lacking strength, mobility, and confidence.
That’s where you come in.
This course will show you how to safely and effectively work with post-operative clients who are ready to return to training. More importantly, it will help you empower them to rebuild strength, regain confidence, and continue progressing long after rehab ends.
