A member asked:

Is physical therapy or a personal trainer more efficient for dealing with deconditioning from prolonged illness? what if it's autonomic dysfunction?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Personal Trainer: will construct a plan of action to help w/your de-conditioning. A physical therapist helps w/specific post trauma conditions such as tears, breaks, surgery, etc. Continue to be monitored by your doc. Peace and good health.
