Medical Exercise Specialists.....Do You Dread Paperwork?

 

Medical Exercise Specialists do you dread the idea of writing down each and every exercise, set, and rep in your client’s training session? Do you hate the idea of writing letters to physicians, therapists or insurance carriers? If you said yes, then you should attend the Medical Exercise Training Documentation and Communication (MET DOC-COM) workshop beginning February 4th.

Medical Exercise Specialists and post rehab professionals will soon have to document every training session and communicate with medical professionals the client’s progress. At best, documentation and communication are challenging, boring, and sometimes a pain, but these are necessary skills every MES must have.

What Conditions are Covered in the MES Masters

Below is a partial list of the medical conditions reviewed in the Medical Exercise Specialist Masters Training Series. MedXPROs from around the world will present their most challenging MET clients. This means we will see a little bit of EVERYTHING in the MES Masters. 

 

You will learn and see far more conditions than we can list. The great thing about medical exercise training is its far reach.

Medical Exercise Training is NOT THERAPY

I received this comment this morning on our Medical Exercise Specialist “Facebook” page. This is a long-time concern I have with the fitness industry since we started the MES in 1994. As the industry promotes more collaboration with medical professionals, we should also be very cognizant of the laws related to the use of terms and titles in the medical community.

 

This is the initial comment: “Doc, you should change the title of your Medical Exercise Specialist to Medical Exercise Therapist, instead.”

 

My response: "The use of the title - Medical Exercise Therapist would be inappropriate. In the majority of states here in the US, the use of “therapist” in a title is illegal without passing a state licensing exam. It is also unethical because "therapist" denotes a medical treatment being provided. The Medical Exercise Specialist (MES) nor any other fitness-based certified professional provides any aspect of medical treatment. The MES...

The Advanced Medical Exercise Specialist Virtual Workshop will help you make the transition. Go to www.AMESVirtualWorkshop.com for details and to register.
