A long list of letters is only useful when you understand what they mean for the appointment.
Registration, certification, education and professional association membership do not all create the same scope or public oversight.
In Ontario, kinesiologist and Registered Kinesiologist are protected titles for people registered with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario. Massage Therapist and Registered Massage Therapist are protected titles for CMTO registrants.
Personal training, strength and conditioning, assisted stretching, yoga and manual services may involve other certifications or associations. Ask which credential is current, relevant to the service and accepted by any payer involved.
Credentials you may see at Fleming Fitness.
The team includes different backgrounds. Confirm the individual provider rather than assuming every credential applies to every appointment.
