WHO'SE US?

Dr. Rice's work with international celebrity pain device manufacturers such as Dr. Ho is the basis of his Pain Therapy Practitioner program.  Home-care devices manufactured for pain as well as other home-based manual active therapy techniques can be used by fitness professionals to allow for the treatment and management of pain. The process quickly takes the patient from an unwell impaired physical state to an active therapy and active exercise which is what fitness trainers are certified to execute.

​

Dr. Rice has teamed up with the National Academy of Sports Medicine [NASM], the 'Harvard' of fitness certification programs. Better Call Doc teaches all programs offered by NASM. The partnership allows for a guaranteed pass-rate for students. The American University of Montserrat, with the BCD Academy, has established an independent certificate program for all NASM programs, including the Certified Personal Trainer program. Equally in good standing is the Brookbush Institute which Dr. Rice collaborates with for its Human Movement Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer program.

​

Dr. Michel Rice is also available for patient consults in the following areas of disciplines and specialty: orthopedics, neurology, chronic pain, & sexual health. These consults are largely conducted via tele-medicine and must have an academic and research component.

​

In passing, Dr. Rice is the author of a medical self-help book entitled Sexy Back. The book entertains and educates the reader on lower back pain. The book is also the basis for a Sexy Back app. The app is being developed for sexy exercises to rehabilitate back pain and take sexercises beyond rehab onto extensive gradual advanced exercise programs people can do at home. His current research [PhD] work ties into the sexual health discipline with the addition of sexual addiction & the vagus nerve. This work involves his PhD and is leading toward operative neuromodulation. He is currently working with anesthesiology and internal medicine in the area of pain as related to his work with the vagus nerve.

​

More on the subject of his sexual health research: The Sexy Back brand fits nicely with his current MD-PhD program at the AUM. Dr. Rice's expertise on the use of surface electric stimulation & transcranial stimulation, a new developing field in medicine called operative neuromodulation. His PhD [2019] work is actively examining the modulatory effects of deep brain stimulation. This work applies also leads to the development of therapeutic implant and modalities for a large diagnostic spectrum involving chemical addiction (alcohol, opioid, cannabis, nicotine), behavioral addiction (OCD, sex, paraphilias, gambling, food etc...), depression, anxiety, cardio-vascular disease & much more complex diseases afflicting so many communities in our current times. This work is intented to be purposed in his PhD proposal to improve community health internationally via new therapy options available for family physicians & specialists such as psychiatrists, neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons, pain control specialists, to name a few. The research is FDA registered and has been reviewed by the Canadian Institute of Health Research [Health Canada].

​

His post-doctoral work will, hopefully, expand his self-help writings to a new book picking up from his first book Sexy Back.
