Function........Is Our Role!!

 

The Medical Exercise Specialist (MES) workshop and certification started in 1994 with its primary focus to education fitness professionals to manage the functional deficits remaining after physical and occupational therapy, and chiropractic concluded. The MES functions to identify functional deficits and develop exercise programs to enhance those deficits. The role is not to compete with medical professionals....but to do something that is not provided for the client after their discharge from licensed medical services.....improve their level of function. 

The need for medical exercise training services will grow but let's make sure we stay focused on our role. MET will grow tremendously as insurance carriers cutback on physical, occupational therapy, chiropractic and other licensed medical services. Managing functional deficits with exercise is amazing.....it works if properly dosed and monitored. It's the magic elixir....it's the key to long term...

Medical Exercise Training - Practice Management Systems

 
Medical exercise training is about skills but more importantly it becomes practice management and client management systems. You must have the skills but systems must in place so you may apply your skills appropriately, record the information accurately, communicate the information in a timely manner and most importantly just manage the information appropriately.
 
Of course if you add staff members you must have a system(s), because the biggest problem with adding staff members is, everyone thinks differently. It's hard to get staff members to think the same way you do without practice systems in place. So medical exercise training practice management systems are the keys to the growth of this new profession and the future.

Exercise is Definitely Medicine....."If Dosed Properly and Effectively!!"

 
Yes, exercise is definitely medicine. We are seeing an explosion of medical fitness certifications and workshops using exercise as medicine. But are we throwing exercise at medical conditions the same way some physicians throw pills at disease? Exercise must be dosed to be effective. It must be repeatable and able to be analyzed so we can establish guidelines, protocols, and best practices for exercise management of medical conditions. This gives credibility, not certifications.
 
 
 
Are you asking "what exercise(s) should I do for this client's condition", but are unaware of the necessary frequency, duration, rest, sets, reps, intensity? Do you use the findings from your assessment to develop the exercise program? Are you doing re-assessments? What if the client has an altered mental status? What are the healing limitations based on the condition/injury or surgery? What is the tissue tolerance level for exercise of the client? Which functional outcome...
