Praise From Past Participants
“The two-day course Rebekah presented was exceptional. It seamlessly blended didactic sessions with hands-on clinical practice and case scenarios. Dr. Eric Folmar’s contribution to the musculoskeletal content was equally commendable. Our therapists now approach musculoskeletal cases with greater confidence. Rebekah’s emphasis on practicing at the top of our scope aligns perfectly with our commitment to patient care.”
-Dr. Tyler Peck
“It was all great, even for myself with 6+ years of outpatient PT experience and an OCS.”
