About The Academy
Thank you for you interest in the American Academy of Health, Fitness and Rehabilitation Professionals. The Academy was founded in 1992 by Michael K. Jones, PhD, RPT to “Bridge the Gap Between Health Care and Fitness”. Since its inception, AAHFRP has played an important role in preparing fitness professionals to provide post rehab and medical exercise to clients with a wide variety of medical conditions in the United States, Canada, Germany, England, Australia, Burma, Bermuda & Ireland.
AAHFRP certified Medical Exercise Specialists (MES), Post Rehab Conditioning Specialists (PRCS) and Medical Exercise Program Directors (MEPD) are found working in hospital based fitness programs, corporate fitness centers, sportsmedicine and physical therapy clinics, chiropractic offices, health/fitness clubs and in client’s homes. Hundreds of AAHFRP certified fitness professionals have received reimbursement from insurance carriers and referrals from medical professionals. These insurance carriers include: Liberty Mutual, the Ohio Workman’s Compensation Bureau, the Insurance Corp. of British Columbia, Zurich Int'l, Blue Cross, AETNA and many more.
As we move into the 21st century, AAHFRP will continue to meet the needs of MES' and PRCS' while understanding the demands of your busy practices. With that in mind, we have concentrated our efforts developing advanced videotape and internet courses. Licensed medical practitioners teach all courses. This ensures that the courses are based on sound scientific/clinical research and provide “functional learning” you can apply immediately.
