Terms and exercise disclaimer

Avoid Atrophy! provides general fitness information. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a doctor, physical therapist, or other qualified professional who knows your situation.

• Talk to your doctor before starting if you have a heart, lung, joint, or balance condition, are recovering from surgery or an injury, are pregnant, have been inactive for a long time, or are unsure whether exercise is safe for you.
• Stop and get medical help if you feel chest pain or pressure, faintness, severe shortness of breath, or sharp pain.
• Do balance exercises within reach of something solid. Use equipment that is in good condition and suited to your strength.
• Routines built for you on request are assembled by software from our exercise library using the answers you gave. The software does not know your medical history and can make choices that do not suit you. Review any routine before using it and skip anything that does not feel right.
• Links to exercise videos lead to other websites. We do not control that content and are not responsible for it.

You exercise at your own risk and are responsible for deciding what is appropriate for you.

• You must be 18 or older.
• Use an email address that is yours. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• Do not misuse the service, try to break it, or use it to send anything unlawful.
• We may change or stop the service, or close accounts that misuse it.

Private PT recording, when released after review, preserves instructions you record from your professional, or separately acknowledged trainer-provided instructions. It does not verify the author's identity or credentials, interpret vague instructions, supply missing technique or dosage, or authorize rehabilitation. Confirm exact instructions with your professional before using playback.

No clinician is monitoring these records or receiving symptom alerts. Completing or logging a session measures a recorded response, not healing. You can pause, skip or stop; do not push through new or worsening symptoms. This is text-only recording, not a clinical service.

The service is provided as it is. We do not promise particular results, that reminders will always arrive on time, or that the service will always be available. Do not rely on a reminder for anything where a missed one could cause harm.

To the extent the law allows, Avoid Atrophy! and the people who run it are not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from use of the service.

Trainer approval is application access, not clinical credential verification. Independently accepted relationships and optional prospective activity sharing do not authorize access to private journals, intake information, PT symptoms, unrelated history or other trainers' assignments. Shared coach feedback is a separate, explicitly disclosed field; no monitoring or guaranteed response is provided.

Frozen assignments require client acknowledgement. Explicit updates apply only to new sessions; clients may stop or skip and record actual performance, but cannot silently alter assigned instructions. Wellness derivatives are personal and not trainer-approved. Revocation removes trainer visibility/update rights while clients retain read-only copies and history. Trainer account deletion retains client-owned copies with former-trainer attribution. Already viewed or copied information cannot be retracted.

The privacy page explains what we store and how to delete it.
