Course Reviews

Kristin Gaulin, LMT, NCTMB

I deal with many patients on a daily basis struggling with chronic pain.This course presented information that will be very useful in viewing these cases in a different, more understanding light. I have used the Institute before and have always been extremely pleased. Would definitely use again and recommend to others. Thank you!!

Deborah McKinley, LMT

Have been a professional massage therapist for many years. This course was very informative and professional. It brought back many conditions and treatments I had forgotten about. I appreciate the thoroughness and quickness of your institute in allowing me to get my CEU's needed to renew my license.

Rebecca Mabe, LMT, NCTMB

Excellent course for any massage therapist or anyone dealing with chronic pain. There are great tips to suggest for clients with chronic pain. Personally, I struggle with arthritis/inflammation pain and this article has given me some new treatment options to investigate for myself. Useful information presented clearly and concisely!

Karen Bush, LMT

I really appreciate how the course includes a wide variety of holistic options in terms of supplements, foods/herbs and therapies.

Having taught in-depth Neurology in Nursing; developed Continuing Education programs;as a Practicing Massage Therapist; a current Medical Hypnotherapist and former writer of test questions...... my evaluation: -the explanation of the pain process, the supporting physiology and the presentation style were among the easiest to understand and by far the best for student learning. -The flow of content was consistent and went from simple to complex in nature but still understandable -The test questions were constructed appropriately with the exception of #'s 10 & 21". Put "it" and "to" in the stem of the question to reduce redundancy in the foils. Kudos to the writer. Well done indeed !!
