Why Your PT and Physio Need to Talk
Most people see a trainer and a physio separately. Neither knows what the other prescribed, and that is holding you back.
Most people see a personal trainer and a physiotherapist as completely separate services. You train with one, rehab with the other, and neither knows what the other prescribed.
This disconnect is not just inefficient. It is actively holding you back.
The Problem
Your PT programmes heavy squats because they do not know your physio flagged a hip impingement. Your physio prescribes gentle mobility work, unaware your trainer already has you doing loaded stretches.
Research from the British Journal of Sports Medicine consistently shows that integrated care teams produce better outcomes than siloed practitioners.
The Sway Perspective
At Sway, your PT and physio share a single client profile. Before your trainer writes your programme, they see your physio’s notes.
What You Can Do Today
Ask your PT if they have spoken to your physio this month. If the answer is no, that is your sign.
