Terrence (ACE Certified Professional) –
The course is organized very well and maintains the same protocol throughout the program. Feet, ankles, lumbo-pelvic hip girdle, thoracic spine, shoulder girdle, neck and head are all evaluated using the same verbal, visual and hands on protocol. The anatomy videos, which begin each section, are a great review. The visual/hands on assessments videos are the most valuable part of the program. The client tips are excellent ques that the trainer can use with their clients. (Verified review from ACE)
