A Certified Medical Exercise Specialist (CMES) is a degreed professional who is a part of the allied healthcare continuum. A CMES goes through additional training regarding chronic disease and dysfunction. We also have work experience designing and implementing exercise programs for high-risk individuals. We can provide coaching regarding prevention and/or management of chronic disease or psychological disorders that may benefit from physical activity and exercise. Please note, a CMES is not the same as a Physical Therapist. You might see a CMES after you are released from a Physical Therapist post-injury or rehab. If you need the names of local Physical Therapists, I'm happy to provide some.

Progress and updates will be provided to your healthcare team depending on your level of recovery per the SEES guidelines.
