Excellent content.
Alejandro C., Mar. 5, 2018
This course had great application to my clinic. Shoulder, elbow , and hand exercises were very practical and had great applicability for me.
Naureen H., Sep. 19, 2016
I enjoyed this course. It was long and difficult to read quickly, but the material was interesting and very well presented. This information will be easily applied to my practice. Unfortunately this type of book written by a P.T. was not available when I went to school in 1971. Therefore it is very nice to have this type of anatomical information along with treatment and reason for treatment in one source.
Thomas H., Jun. 6, 2016
I thought this was a valuable course and will use the information to enhance my skill and decision making in my practice.
