REVIEWS
I can honestly say that it was one of the best seminars I have taken because it really helped to consolidate my understanding and application of all of the techniques to which I had been exposed.
I found that my ability to extrapolate and predict patterns of change due to altered mechanics and understand the consequences and sequelae of these changes, fitting them into the bigger picture has profoundly altered my thought processes and fundamentally changed the way I practice for the better.
I am absolutely certain that I am a better chiropractor for having attended the seminar. - Dr. Philip Baines, Active Care Chiropractic, United Kingdom

I cannot recommend Mike and Larry's courses enough - these guys are awesome. Did the FICS in Copenhagen... They were fantastically knowledgeably, have a wealth of experience with elite athletes and genuinely helpful. An absolute must if you haven't already done it. - Nashton Lane

You said "if you can take 3 things from a seminar you've got your moneys worth", I took about 30... so I am extremely pleased. To this day I have incorporated most of what we learnt (and i could remember) during the weekend into my daily practice with great effect. I used to love extremities before and now I love them even more. Overall the seminar was extremely practical and I immediately implemented everything I could. I really enjoyed the mixed combination of the different techniques and seeing the treating of the athletes. There is a lot of stuff I have been digging into since the seminar flared up my interest again.
Thanks also for your personal advice on some basic practice management stuff and how you explain some things to patients, It's always really helpful to hear advice from people who've done it all before.- Nash Anderson

As an Australian who has attended 5 previous FICS seminars in Australia and New Zealand, I found it refreshing to learn from presenters I had not seen previously (Larry and Mike). Not to take away from the presenters we have in Australia, but after seeing them 5 times, it is good to hear a different way of approaching things. - Dr. Luke Nelson, Chiropractic Solutions, Australia

Thanks so much for the course this weekend. i would definitely take it again. I put your methods to work Monday with one of my patients who had improved then plateaued and I was able to take him from barely able to squat to almost having his bum on the floor in one session. His improved mobility totally blew his mind and we are both excited to keep working in this direction and see what we can continue to resolve for him. - Dr. Lacina Barsalou
