What Our Students Say

Straightforward, Systematic Assessments

by Beth Krantz, OT

My favorite aspect was learning straightforward, systematic assessments which have allowed me to more quickly evaluate new patients. Learning about the facilitated segment, and having an excellent research based approach to treating lateral epicondylitis has made life much less frustrating. I actually enjoy treating these, now. The extensive hands-on training was very helpful. Mike [Lucido, NAIOMT faculty instructor] was an excellent instructor, and presented things at an appropriate pace, consistently made sure we were understanding the concepts and correctly performing the techniques.
