You have questions? We have the answers!

  • This course is exceptional for anyone treating adult, orthopedic shoulder dysfunction. The course is accredited for many state boards for PT, PTA, OT, COTA and ATCs. Other professions are welcome including physicians, chiropractors, nurses, strength and conditioning coaches, exercise physiologists, and kinesiologists. Many participants from professions other than PT, Ot & ATC submit the syllabus and certificate to their associations and get CEU approval. We are happy to provide you with any documents you need! It is your responsibility to make sure the applicable skills taught in this course align with your state’s practice act.

  • Why are so many con ed courses so boring?! Sitting still in a freezing room listening to someone drone on endlessly. Ugh! Enough of that! This course is fun! We use humor and games to keep it interesting. And no boring lectures! The course is 85% hands-on “get out your seat” practice! Additionally, it’s embarrassing how many courses don’t include research. This course is directly supported by 250 high quality articles, of which I give you access to at the end of the course. I promise you’ll not find a more enjoyable course anywhere!

  • This course is a 15 credit hour course for $649. Inquire about group discounts or early bird discounts! How can you take it for free? Easy! Have your facility host the course! A host facility receives 2-3 free scholarships, depending on size of the clinic. And hosting is guaranteed by me to be very easy. Let me do all of the work!

  • Most likely! First, always feel free to ask us. We are always expanding the list of board approvals. If we are teaching the course in your state, be assured it is accredited in that state and many others.
