Kinesitherapist vs personal trainer: what is the difference

A personal trainer at a typical gym often has a short-course certificate. They know exercises. They do not always understand why your back hurts after deadlifts and what to do about it.

A kinesitherapist holds a higher medical degree in movement and recovery. They understand how injury, posture and lifestyle change the way you move.

At DAFIT your program is built by a licensed kinesitherapist. Every exercise has a clear job: strengthen the lagging muscle group, unload the lower back, restore mobility.

This is not “boring medical training”. The goals stay yours: strength, shape, endurance. Only the path changes — shorter and without injuries.

When choosing a gym, ask three things: who builds my program, what is their education, how will progress be checked. The answers will tell you everything.
