What Your
Friends & Peers Who Took the Shoulder & Arm Course
Said:
"One of the best courses I've attended
in a long time with lots of treatment techniques
I can take away and use." ---Amy Wright,
PT
"Finally, a shoulder
seminar that's actually
advanced and
not like all the rest!"---Laura Walsh,
PT
|
"This has
been the most complete shoulder
course with very specific and
practical applications I've attended. A great
course for those PTs who want to further their
manual skills and gain appreciation of the
cervical, thoracic, & rib influence upon
the
shoulder.
(The) total
package
in relation to shoulder/cervical
(spine)."

"The
repeated motion, cervical manip and documentation
techniques were great new information. All in
all this was a great
course. You make a lot of sense and present
very well. I really like the small things---i.e. "fill in
the blanks", which help keep clinician's focused. It is
obvious you have put a great amount of time/effort into
this course. Thank you and let me know about the knee
course---I would take it." ---Cynthia Long,
PT
"Mike,
I totally enjoyed your
course.
You really simplified things for dummies like me! Let me
know when you come out with other courses. Thank you."
---Chad Evans, PT

"Excellent
Course! (The) Diagnostic
priciples (were) very helpful; a more practical
treatment approach compared to other/different
courses."--Anthony
Esquivel, PT
"This
course exceeded my
expectations and I
anticipate immediate integration of
course methods to my
practice." --Baldemar
Briones, PT

"I would never think to treat the
shoulder this way for
pain.
I look back at some of my patients and
think, "Wow, I could've done this to
him/her. I
appreciate all the research both in orthopedic medicine and
learning theory that went into the content and made up
the foundation of the course." ---Beth Kolbe,
PT
 |
"For anyone who is not
confident in treating the shoulder, I
highly recommend this course. A very
thorough, systematic approach is taught.
You should be able to predict
results and acieve improvement in 1-2 treatment
sessions."

| Tami Domka, MOT, OTR/L |
"I appreciate
the organized flow of information and
thought. Great handouts and pictures and
a good
balance of theory and hands-on. Michael is a very knowledgeable and
efffective instructor and clinician. His course is easy
to follow, interesting, and highly applicable to direct
patient care. Thanks Michael
---great
course!" ---Andrea K.,
PT

"Before coming to this
course, I was often overwhelmed with shoulder
pain and reluctantly relied on treating the
symptoms instead of addressing the problem
areas. (I now have) greater understanding of
possible "causes" of shoulder parin and how to
treat it appropriately. Impressive. Your
knowledge about the shoulder was nicely broken
down into various levels to help me grasp the
joint and how to treat. Thank you."
|
| Kerri Marks, PT |
"I like the patient
management part of the
course. These ideas are applicable for any
patient type or
problem. (The)
entire relationship of c-spine with shoulder problems
was my "A-ha"
moment. I think of all the patients I have
"tried" to treat before and was unable to
help.
If I would have had this info..." ---Andy Lair,
PT
|
"Structure, structure,
structure. (This course) provided me with a
systematic approach to eval patients in
general. But on a more personal note, it
recharged my respect and pride of my
profession.
The exercises and options on manual treatment
was very clever.
|
| Mark DeAnda, PT |
"I
was thoroughly
impressed with the organization and
"process mapping" approach with this course. I feel that
a huge impact will be made in patient outcomes with the
techniques I now can put
together. My personal goals have been met and
more (from this course) and I am
anxious to apply my new system to everyday
practice. Thank you for
everything.
---Lacey Hardesty, PT
 |
"I loved this
course!
I can't believe the amount of
knowledge I have gained. This course provided
me with many practical approaches that I can
begin putting into my evaluation and treatment
session. The handouts & DVD will allow me
to review & practice techniques."

| Amy Ulm,
PT |
"Any course that I take that stimulates me to
want to pick up a book when I leave is rare---this
course did that for me and helped me to
identify where I need to improve. Thank you for putting you
neck out there to teach style, philosophy, and more
importantly, direction to practice. I think this shepherding at
the end of the day will end up moving and impacting our
profession forward ---to the work, the practice, and how we are
valued by the public and medical
community. Thank you for your
advocacy." ---Ed
Brush, PT, ATC
"I
really enjoyed this course and
looked forward to the 2nd
day, unlike
some I have been to. I liked the format as well,
& it was a nice mix of lecture and lab with lots of
interatctions."--- Elizabeth Ashe,
PT
