- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we go through a screening process by which I am able to get a better understanding of you & your goals. It is also a way to help me identify any issues that may affect a health-related intervention. For example, barriers such as scheduling, lack of motivation & lack of social support can all be problematic when trying to adhere to an exercise program. There is also an assessment process where I gather adequate data to formulate a diagnosis. We would fill out a sheet detailing medical history, past injuries, surgeries & discuss them all. There is also an assessment portion which consists of gathering objective information such as blood pressure, scale weight, body fat percentage, BMI, circumference measurements (for some, not all), & movement assessments assessing malalignments & compensatory movement patterns. Once all necessary information has been gathered, the prescription can be put together.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer (NASM-CPT), a corrective exercise specialist (NASM-CES), a women's fitness specialist (NASM-WFS), a performance enhancement specialist (NASM-PES), a fitness nutrition specialist (NASM-FNS), a behavior change specialist (NASM-BCS), a weight loss specialist (NASM-WLS),a youth exercise specialist (NASM-YES) and a senior fitness specialist (NASM-SFS) . NASM requires their students to maintain a certain number of continuing education units in order to keep their credentials. On the NASM website there is also a certification verification tool to see whether or not the person you're dealing with is currently up to date with their certifications. My full name is Mikael Rivera. Just google NASM credential validation.
