Feedback From Our Students

  • Leanne Tressler, DC

    “My three takeaways from this program:
    1. The blocking procedures, none of the doctors in our office knew how to do that so we just adjusted our scoliosis patients. This gives us a chance to help those patients more.
    2. The home exercises and blocking procedures. We have a lot of patients asking if there is anything they can do at home so now we have more information to give them to help when they are not in the office.
    3. The adjustment procedures focus on T11-T12. We would always just adjust side posture into the convexity of the curve and that was it.

    This program has impacted my life professionally because we see a lot of scoliosis patients and now I have more ways to be able to help those patients instead of doing what I was before. This will be able to help them more. Personally it helps me understand why I am doing the adjustment and blocking procedures and how it is helping these patients.

    I have a 15 year-old with a 35 degree curve to the right. It is an inferior tippage curve and since using this adjustment and the blocking techniques on him he has noticed more relief than just the adjustment I was doing before.

    I would recommend this course to others because the course information is very helpful and it is put in a way that is understandable and easy to follow.”

  • Dr. Tai Hong Andrew Lung

    “My three takeaways from this course are: The protocol in treating stubborn scoliosis, home care method, adjustment technique for scoliosis.

    Scoliosis is a disease concerning people since their teenage, and would create a disturbance in their appearance, this lesson allows me to treat scoliosis.

    The protocol can allow patients to take care of their own at home. I would recommend this course as the content is very clear and detailed.”

  • Amy Gates, DC

    “My takeaway from this program Blocking and stretching with blocking.

    I am now giving more attention to people with scoliosis

    I currently have two patients with scoliosis and one of them is doing well with at home blocking and is easing up daily pain.

    Yes, I would recommend this program.”
