Reviews

Loved the course! Information I can apply to help me access my clients better. And help correct them with any body compensations they may have

This course gives an idea on how posture can effect the longevity a person, an how it is important to correct over compensations to improve overall client health.

Really bad. There is only one learning style used. The instructor basically reads from an iPad. I could have elected an audio book I would Never take a course from this instructor again.

Overall, this is good information. The notes and handouts were sometimes hard to follow. A very practical course
