Feedback From Our Students

  • Kirra Randolph, DC

    “My three takeaways are:
    1. Easy, bite size modules for busy practitioners.
    2. Adjusting protocols I can use tomorrow.
    3. Home care to empower patients in their own treatment plans.

    This program has impacted my life in that I have a lot more confidence in my abilities to serve my community with efficient skills for specific scoliosis presentations.

    I am currently working with a new patient on these techniques and it is going well.

    Yes I would recommend others take these courses so we have a greater network of like-minded chiropractors with optimal education to refer other patients to.

    I like the videos so I can slow the audio down to listen to Dr. Marty. Having the transcript is also great. Good for my learning style. The repetition of content is great with a video, PowerPoint and a worksheet.”

  • Yile Zou, DC

    My three takeaways:
    1. Easy to understand.
    2. Can be applied right away.
    3. Patients can do active care at home which makes it more effective.

    I now have a new tool set to manage scoliosis cases.
    The T11, T12 adjustment helped eliminate the discomfort of my patient. However, it probably takes more time to see a better result after the patient is doing homecare.

    I would recommend this class since it gives you a simple easy way to manage the scoliosis cases.

    Thank you for what you do!

  • Stephanie Rittenour, DC

    “Very useful information that can be applied to your patients right away. Hands on applications and demonstrations. Easy to understand and very straightforward.

    Improved my ability to better serve my patients and community who have scoliosis.

    I would recommend this course. Everything you do is gold!!

    Amazing…as always!”
