Strength, Recovery, and Weight Loss with Professional Medical Oversight
When most people think about improving their fitness or losing weight, they picture gym memberships, personal trainers, or fitness apps. But for many patients, those options can feel overwhelming, unsafe, or disconnected from their medical needs.
That’s why Pine Point Medical is excited to now offer medically supervised athletic training, a unique service that combines wellness coaching and fitness guidance with clinical oversight, led by Sarah Missen, MS, ATC, our certified athletic trainer.
This isn’t just exercise. It’s medical fitness, designed around your body, your health history, and your goals. Our programs are supervised by each patient’s primary care provider and, in many cases, covered by insurance.
What Is Medically Supervised Athletic Training?
Medically supervised athletic training bridges the gap between traditional healthcare and fitness. Instead of generic workout plans or unsupervised gym routines, patients receive wellness coaching through personalized training programs created and monitored by their primary care provider.
At Pine Point Medical, this service includes:
-
Individualized exercise programming
-
Injury prevention and recovery support
-
Strength, mobility, and conditioning training
-
Wellness and weight-loss guidance
-
Ongoing clinical supervision from their primary care provider
All sessions are led by a certified athletic trainer with advanced clinical training, ensuring exercises are safe, effective, and aligned with your medical needs.
A Major Benefit: Training That Can Be Insurance-Covered
One of the most exciting aspects of this service is that it may be insurance-billable.
Unlike traditional gym memberships or personal training — which are paid fully out of pocket — medically supervised athletic training is delivered in a clinical setting by licensed staff. So depending on your plan and medical needs, this means:
-
Reduced out-of-pocket costs
-
No need for an expensive gym membership
-
Access to professional-level training with medical oversight
For many patients, this makes high-quality fitness support far more accessible and sustainable.
Weight Loss That’s Safe, Realistic, and Medically Guided
Weight loss is one of the most common reasons patients seek athletic training. And it’s an area where medical supervision truly matters.
Rather than extreme workouts or one-size-fits-all programs, Sarah focuses on:
-
Sustainable movement, not punishment-based exercise
-
Strength training to boost metabolism and preserve muscle
-
Low-impact conditioning for joint health and injury prevention
-
Functional exercises that support daily life and long-term success
Because weight loss looks different for everyone, programs are adjusted based on:
-
Current fitness level
-
Medical conditions (such as diabetes, joint pain, or heart health)
-
Past injuries or surgeries
-
Lifestyle and time constraints
This approach helps patients lose weight safely, improve energy levels, and reduce the risk of injury or burnout.
More Than Exercise: Whole-Body Wellness Support
Medically supervised athletic training at Pine Point Medical goes beyond workouts. Patients benefit from a whole-body approach that may include:
-
Movement assessments and progress tracking
-
Education around injury prevention
-
Guidance on recovery, flexibility, and mobility
-
Coordination with your primary care provider
This level of integration helps ensure your fitness plan supports your overall health — not just short-term goals.
Who Can Benefit from This Service?
This program is ideal for:
-
Patients looking to lose weight safely and effectively
-
Individuals recovering from injury or surgery
-
People who feel uncomfortable or unsafe in traditional gyms
-
Adults managing chronic conditions who want guided movement
-
Anyone who wants structured, professional fitness without guesswork
