Challenge your Practice | Challenge yourself
Practitioners and clients, you are in the right place. Our schedule lists:
- A one-year look at our training schedule
- Workshops: Professional training | 14-16 hours | Clients welcome to register.
- Mentorships: Advanced professional training | 24 hours.
- Camps: Small groups of clients that work together towards a common goal. e.g.: Scolio-Camps are a 5-day course, 4-hour-a day trainings to create a better understanding of the corrections/exercises you need for your spine so you can continue at home.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned. It’s the kind of work that really makes me feel like I’m making a difference to other’s quality of life.
