- Follow any and all physician guidelines
- Establish and maintain clear professional boundaries with all clients whom I will treat equally and fairly.
- Maintain my CFP and CPR certifications and keep current with the latest health and physical activity research and applications.
- Provide general non-medical information on developing healthy eating behaviours and habits and referring clients to dieticians or qualified nutritionists when appropriate.
- Document client progress and ensure confidentiality of all client information.
- Comply with any and all applicable business, employment and intellectual property laws.
- Refrain from making a diagnosis, a diet plan, making drug or supplement prescriptions, designing rehabilitation programs, attempting to treat injury or disease, counselling, or working with patients without medical clearance from their doctor.
