What role does a personal trainer play in injury rehabilitation and recovery?

Seeking the help of a qualified personal trainer can do wonders for your recovery. However, what role does a personal trainer play in the rehabilitation and recovery process?
Supervised injury rehabilitation using exercise
Supervised injury rehabilitation using exercise is an excellent way for a personal trainer to assist you. A personal trainer will ensure that you are performing your exercises correctly and building back your strength. The personal trainer will also ensure that you do not overdo your exercises.
Personal trainers will supervise you throughout your exercises. Supervision ensures that you are using the correct weights and your motions are smooth while assisting in building your muscle memory to reactivate the injured muscles in a safe way.
Prevent re-injury
Personal trainers also help your injury rehabilitation and recovery process by helping to prevent re-injury. This is critical as re-injury is going to ruin all of the hard work you have put in thus far and potentially lead to many setbacks.
Personal trainers understand how to challenge you without causing any harm to your previous injuries. They will assist in building your strength and stability in the injured area as well as in surrounding muscle groups to strengthen the area overall. This is essential to your recovery process.
