ISSA Certified Genetics-Based Program Designer

We're all blindly limited to trial and error to find our own optimal diet and exercise program. This generally takes years to figure out, and most people give up before ever seeing results. Genetic-based fitness testing takes the guesswork out of the equation. As an ISSA student working toward my certification in this area, I will soon be able to help you reach your goals based on your genetic makeup in the fastest way possible!

ISSA Exercise Therapy Certification

Therapeutic exercise can vary from very specific selected activities designed for particular muscle or condition to general and vigorous movements to restore an athlete to peak performance. The application of therapeutic exercise will vary in its purpose based on the goals of the client. In order for the client to obtain the best outcomes, it is essential that before an exercise program is designed the client should receive a comprehensive assessment. An exercise program designed without a competent medical evaluation may not only be inadequate but detrimental to the client.

After an assessment by a trained medical professional, the next step is to establish goals and appropriate treatment plans. The treatment plan should be designed based on clients goals, medical professionals realistic expectations along with the following:

  • Functional limitations
  • Prognosis of condition
  • Psychological status
  • Socioeconomic support
  • Cultural reactions and expectations
  • Physical and emotional environment
  • Client/employers vocational plans
  • Ethical choices
