Integrating Programs for Veterans and Active Duty Service Members

Presented by ACSM in partnership with Medical Fitness Association (MFA).

About this course

The most common reason Active Duty Service Members and Veterans seek medical care is musculoskeletal pain. Modern pain management recognizes the critical role of lifestyle strategies, including exercise and movement, mindfulness, anti-inflammatory nutrition, postural awareness, and other healthy behaviors, in managing chronic pain. Because long-term pain management is most effective when supported by an individual's community, building collaborative communities of well-being is essential. This MFA webinar-based course explores comprehensive well-being initiatives sponsored by the Department of Defense and the Veterans Health Administration, highlighting opportunities for Medical Fitness facilities and professionals to partner in supporting Service Members and Veterans living with chronic pain.
