Overview

Medical Exercise Specialist (MES) - a specialist trained in over 60 medical conditions. He was motivated by more than 15 years of working as a personal trainer in various private and fitness settings and had the pleasure of working with many great training staff and clients. During this time, He trained people of all ages and found one thing in common - they didn’t know how to train with a medical condition. So 5 years ago he created Halifax Medical Exercise Training (HalMET) and is kindly allowed to operate out of SlimGyms in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Here’s what a MES does: A MES helps clients manage with referred medical conditions and continues fitness training so that they can better live with general physical functionality. By drawing on the foundations of clinical anatomy, pathology, exercise physiology, kinesiology, and biomechanics, a MES develops safe, effective, and structured exercise and conditioning programs for clients with medical conditions. This Medical Exercise Training (MET) manages medical conditions by enhancing and/or maintaining function through the use of cardiovascular, strength, flexibility, proprioceptive, balance, and stability activities. A MES offers no treatment modalities or diagnostic services; clients are diagnosed and referred to a MES by general practitioners, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and other health professionals.
