Connecting Education, Medicine, & Fitness
Because most adults have at least one chronic disease, our programs are for Fitness and Health Professionals who want to help their clients prevent or manage chronic disease.
What we do
Medical Exercise Academy is a learning platform for Fitness and Health professionals to learn about the benefits of, and possibilities with clinical exercise, with the objective of implementing training programs for those who want to improve their health and well-being at any level of prevention, and at any stage of progression to include function, health, fitness, and performance.
Why we do it
Medical Exercise Academy courses were developed with three goals in mind; (a) To provide continuing education opportunities to anyone who wants to learn more about exercise and chronic disease, (b) To provide personalized feedback. Outside of traditional academia, this is one of only a few educational programs that provides personalized feedback, and therefore an additional level of credibility for specialization courses (via discussion and application questions), and (c) To provide a credible path for fitness professionals who want to collaborate with other health care providers. Our courses are succinct and easy to navigate, with relevant videos, text, and application exercises.
The end goal
Because we are 100% dedicated to interprofessional collaboration and education as a means to alleviate the burden of chronic disease on the health care system, we want to lead in the creation of a collaborative, practice-ready workforce by coordinating health care strategies and optimizing the strengths of each team member. With our courses, you can be on the front line of healthcare by aiding in the management and prevention of chronic disease.

"Dan Mikeska’s Clinical Exercise Specialist is a treasure trove of resources to assess
and develop medical exercise programs that prevent and remediate minor pains to chronic
issues. These approaches are effective. I know, because Dan helped correct dysfunctional
patterns that had caused me—cumulatively over decades—serious physical problems and
mobility limitations. Written by a masterful teacher, this is a “must have” for fitness and clinical professionals who guide others to wellness through medical exercise."
