Student Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found this course really enjoyable. Eric explains concepts very well, without overcomplicating them. I think this would be a great course for anyone who is interested in pain science, evidence informed practice, or improving patient outcomes through better communication. — C.H.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This course absolutely blew my mind. It threw on its head much of what I learned decades ago in massage school. As I am returning to practice after a long hiatus, I am looking forward to working again with this fresh approach. — S.M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I feel this course made me look at how new research could improve my current practise. It’s easy to become comfortable and not continue to evolve. I had a few “ah ha” moments that weren’t easy to swallow but I feel will ultimately be helpful to those I treat which is of course my main focus. Thank you — M.G.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This course was very well done and provided a wealth of useful information. — A.D.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed this course. The biological and physiological explanations and how our bodies work never cease to amaze me. My job is incredible, and it was nice to have the reminder of why. — G.A.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you ! I really enjoyed this course and the information offered. Although short and sweet, probably on of the most valuable courses I've taken. — J.T.
