Health and exercise professionals have a powerful opportunity to deepen their practice and their connection with clients who have experienced trauma. In this clip from a recent webinar, Jacque Crockford, DHSc, explores what trauma looks like in a fitness setting.

Trauma-Informed Movement: Creating Safe and Supportive Fitness Experiences (worth 0.1 ACE CECs) explores how trauma isn’t just about a specific event, but rather how a person’s nervous system and body respond to past experiences, and how those embodied responses can show up when working with clients in a fitness setting.

As coaches, instructors and movement practitioners, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of what trauma is (and isn’t), how to spot signs of nervous-system dysregulation among clients and how to intentionally weave simple tools like grounding, breath awareness and movement strategies into your sessions to promote safety, autonomy and empowerment. With these approaches, you’ll be better equipped to design inclusive, supportive experiences where everybody feels seen and safe while staying within your scope of practice.
