What should you do if clients are experiencing back pain that prevents them from completing exercises?

  1. Ignore the pain and continue with the program

  2. Refer to a rehabilitative, medical, or appropriately qualified fitness professional

  3. Advise them to take painkillers

  4. Offer a massage

The correct answer is: Refer to a rehabilitative, medical, or appropriately qualified fitness professional

If clients are experiencing back pain, it is important to not ignore their pain and continue with the program. This could potentially worsen their condition and prevent them from achieving their fitness goals. Painkillers may provide temporary relief, but they do not address the underlying issue and may also have negative side effects. A massage may provide some relief, but it is not a long-term solution and does not address the root cause of the pain. It is always best to refer clients to a rehabilitative, medical, or appropriately qualified fitness professional who can properly assess their condition and provide an appropriate exercise program for their specific needs.
