More medical professionals have contacted our office in the last few months with thoughts of transitioning from the clinical environment to the post rehab arena. Nurses, chiropractors, physical therapists and physical therapy assistants are finding the gains working with clients in a fitness setting are just as rewarding as those made with clients in a rehab setting. Though they may not have a large repertoire of exercise techniques to select from, their grasp of the medical based client helps these newcomers more than hold their own in the fitness setting. We would like to hear from medical professionals making the transition to post rehab fitness. Share your thoughts, concerns and success stories about your transition to fitness. Thanks!!
Dr Mike

The transition from the clinical environment to post-rehabilitation fitness is not as hard some medical professional may think. As a license physical therapy assistant the transition to fitness setting was effortless. The fitness professional will require years of additional schooling to make the transition to medical field. Upon completion of the MES course, I can now see the enormous revenue stream that can be generate in fitness arena trough post-rehab programs vs. the 9 to 5 grind working in an outpatient and/or acute care setting. In order to become a very successful fitness professional in the post-rehab, please do the following:
- Take the Medical Exercise Specialist Course (www.postrehab.com)
- Obtain hands on training for exercise techniques in a Personal Fitness Training Association School (www.pftaschools.com/about/about.htm)
- Obtain hands training trough a mentorship program with other post-rehab professional in your area (www.bodytrainers.net)
