Medical Exercise Training - The Future of HealthCare

It's no secret that our healthcare system has room for improvement. There is a huge gap between the medical and fitness world. Medical professionals look at the human body one way, and fitness professionals look at it completely differently.

Bridging the Gap Between HealthCare and Fitness

Dr. Michael Jones developed the Medical Exercise Training Institute to bridge the gap between the medical and fitness world. He teaches personal trainers how to work with various medical conditions and shows the medical community how to use fitness that creates measurable results. He developed protocols for over 60 different medical conditions, and created a foundation unlike any I have ever seen.

Changing Personal Training Forever

For those who are wanting to do more than just personal training, the Medical Exercise Training Institute takes fitness to the next level. With the aging Baby Boomer population, this information is a game changer. It allows you to help clients with knee injuries, back injuries, shoulder injuries, and Diabetes. There are many certifications that claim to help with this, but there is one major difference. This certification will tell you the difference in working with someone with a herniated disc vs spinal stenosis. It will show you how to create a program for an ACL injury vs a total knee replacement. If you are working with someone with Diabetes, this program will show you every precaution you need to know before you start their program.

Connecting with the Medical Community

One of the most important things about this program is the confidence it gives you to connect to the medical community. You will learn how to contact physicians and write progress reports. This is crucial for clients with a medical condition and will separate you from other fitness professionals in the area. It's not easy work, but you will quickly rise to the top by following the guidelines Dr. Jones has established.
