Managing clients with medical conditions demands more than just exercise prescription—it requires a strategic and thoughtful approach. In a recent insightful webinar, Dr. Mike reviewed the comprehensive 6-Point Medical Exercise Program Management System that transforms how medical exercise specialists approach their practice, driving superior outcomes and facilitating potential insurance reimbursements.
Here's a detailed breakdown of this transformative approach:
A clinical anatomy understanding of your client's condition is fundamental. It's essential to comprehend the specific anatomical impacts of their condition, whether due to disease, injury, or surgery, to ensure accurate exercise programming.
Safety comes first. Clearly identifying exercises and activities that could harm your client based on their medical history and condition is crucial. Understanding contraindications prevents injury and enhances client safety.
Move beyond basic assessments. Conduct thorough evaluations, including strength, range of motion, and condition-specific tests to set accurate baselines and measure progress consistently. This demonstrates effectiveness to clients and referring healthcare providers.
Identify at least three key exercises beneficial for each client's condition. These activities are foundational and consistently applied in every session to ensure steady progression.
Define how you will progressively enhance your client's abilities towards meaningful functional goals. These should focus on real-life activities like climbing stairs or walking distances comfortably, essential for clear communication with insurance providers.
Using well-defined protocols provides structure and consistency, ensuring comprehensive client management. Protocols act as flexible guides, adaptable to individual client needs while maintaining clinical precision.
