Greg Mack, ACE-CMES, ACE-CPT

Founder and CEO

Exercise Professional Education and Course Creator

With 30 years of experience in the medical-fitness space working with, and alongside, medical professionals from a wide variety of practice specialties, Greg has seen first hand the power of appropriately designed and dosed exercise to help individuals with pain and movement issues associated with painful conditions. He has spent his entire career exploring and learning about how, and when, and when not, to leverage exercise's inherent potential to improve the quality of life of an individuals reporting pain.

This information has been distilled and organized into the comprehensive Muscle System Specialist Certification Course.

The Exercise and Pain Course is a great introduction to the philosophy and methodologies underpinning the full Muscle System Specialist Course. This course will share the thinking, strategies, and tactics necessary for an exercise professional to know if, when, and how to use exercise to assist someone with pain.

Here is what students are

saying about their course experience:

"I feel it will change the perspective I have about exercise and pain management"

"The results that showed instantly and it is applicable for trainers like me looking to help people with pain"

"Learning, applying, and having my mind blown!"

"The amazing simplicity of the process yet practicalness of the process."

This is a hybrid course meaning that the student will first do the on-line component via a Zoom meeting, facilitated by an approved instructor, and then need to go to an approved location and attend three hours of supervised practical instruction based on the content presented in the course workbook.
