This 6-hour online course follows the format of the live training, condensed in a shorter online format. Purchasers of the previous course will receive complimentary access to this newer version.
NOTE: There are both ASHA-approved and NCBTMB-approved versions of this course. When you are redirected to the online course selection page, please choose the appropriate course. Those looking to take tis course for non-credit, please choose the ASHA-approved version.
2025 addendum: The content from the two-hour Rethinking Manual Therapy and Exercise for the Tongue is included at the end of this course at no extra cost.
The Cost
The fee for this online course is $200. The content of this course represents the last decade of my work and study, moving from the tissue-based narratives previously taught into more plausible, though initially more confusing, concepts of neuroscience, behavioral science, and pain science. If you are seeking a fresh and solid grounding in moving your manual therapy model into alignment with current viewpoints of medicine and health, I believe you will feel your money and time were well spent.
Included in the class cost is admission to the post-seminar Facebook group. In this group, you will find video content from live classes, allowing you to see how the techniques can be applied in a clinical setting. There is also the opportunity for you to converse with others who have taken the training to discuss challenges and successes. Email for details.
Timed Agenda
After successfully completing this course, those who wish to continue training will be allowed a $50 discount on a future In-Person Foundations in Manual Therapy: Voice and Swallowing Disorders Seminar. This discount will apply on top of any group/Early Bird discounts. Email for details.
