Reference for David Gilks
Dr. Michael K. Jones
To Whom It May Concern,
David Gilks, MES completed our Medical Exercise Specialist and Post Rehab Conditioning Specialist Certification workshops in 1997 and 1998 respectively. David successfully completed both certification examinations. He also completed our Pharmacology for Fitness Professionals, Ergonomics for Fitness Professionals and Essentials of Senior Fitness workshops. These workshops are designed to provide fitness professionals with the skills for develop safe and effective conditioning programs for clients with medical conditions.
Medical research has shown the benefits of functional conditioning programs for clients with work related musculoskeletal disorders. These programs should include cardiovascular, flexibility and strength training. In addition to these components, prevention programs such as back schools should be part of the program. David's training has prepared him to deliver these services.
David has worked with clients with medical conditions for more than 5 years. During this period he has worked with many physicians, chiropractors and physical therapists in the Nanaimo community. I would highly recommend David to work with clients with work related musculoskeletal disorders.
