| 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.
This certification requires completion of
10 contacts hours of continuing education
courses (which may be done by video) or 10
hours observation in a medical setting under
a licensed practitioner to maintain certification. |
