Feedback From Our Students

  • Jennifer Lovdahl, DC

    This program is simple and practical to implement in practice.

    I’m hoping by applying what I have learned that I will take better care of my family and patients with scoliosis.

    Yes, I would recommend this class because you will be able to apply what you learn easily.

  • Gerald Galvin, DC

    “My three takeaways from this program:
    1. That you can make a change and in some cases correct a scoliotic spine.
    2. The procedures are taught in a way that they can be implemented the same day.
    3. The information was laid out weekly in increments so that it was not overwhelming.

    Now I have a better foundation to use when seeing patients that have scoliosis.

    I definitely would recommend this course to others – as the protocols address scoliosis.

    Great course, thank you!”

  • Karen Ferguson, DC

    “Even after 29 years of practice there is still room to learn. The convenience of online learning and being able to practice the technique at the office that day or the next day. There is feeling the support from others who have studied with you or who took the same program.

    This has helped bring more relief to the patients I care for.

    A patient with severe scoliosis, I adjusted her transitional segments and opened up the spine…she could tell a difference. Her relief lasted longer than after other adjustments.

    I would recommend this class because it’s easy to add to your current techniques.”
