Such important information delivered in a manner that makes sense and can be used with so many patients. I have much better understanding of how manual work addresses health at the cellular level!

Bob and Jon did an excellent job breaking down the anatomy, assessment, and treatment of the cervical spine.

BayGrass Institute courses are stellar. The information is always anatomically and physiologically supported. Palpation techniques and treatment techniques are immediately applicable. This is a course that honors and respects patient care and the instructors are clearly thoughtful clinicians and teachers.
