Good Course, I will look to add further CEs in the future with this platform.

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)

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)
RAJIV (ACE Certified Professional) –
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)
Nicole (ACE Certified Professional) –
This was an EXCELLENT course! Justin is a fantastic teacher who explained the techniques very well while also helping me understand the value for me and for my clients. I have heard others speak on this topic and it’s been dull and hasn’t prompted me to repeat the information learned. I am very interested in helping my clients and I as I continue throughout the other courses! (Verified review from ACE)
