Good Course, I will look to add further CEs in the future with this platform.
Nicol (ACE Certified Professional) –
Loved this course. I have a much better understanding of why many in my run and fitness family suffer from aches and pains, including myself. The course was easy to follow, and they did a wonderful job of summarizing after each section. This course held my full attention. Being a provider in the medical field was helpful, but I feel this course is good for anyone wanting a better understanding of our structural anatomy. (Verified review from ACE)

I’m calling this course the “Missing Link”…I wish I would have found this practical, hands-on information a LONG time ago. I 100% recommend this course to anyone looking for a better understanding of how the body works and how everything is connected. (Verified review from ACE)
Lisa W –
This course explained how to effectively and easily assess the most common deviations in the body. The videos conveyed the written info in short, easy to understand clips. I loved it. Was not expecting this quality. Excellent.

I am actually blown away with the course. It’s not dry and boring (which I have found other courses to be when learning about anatomy) and I’m thoroughly enjoying it! I have learned so much already just from the first module. I can’t wait to finish the course and I feel like this was the missing link for me to feel much more confident and knowledgeable as a fitness professional. (Verified review from ACE)

Excellent course content and well explained. I was looking forward to learn something about supination deviation of the foot and ankle but it was not covered in the course (since it’s not a very common deviation). Adding this in future is suggested. (Verified review from ACE)
