Mentoring Program

For licensed or certified healthcare providers looking for a mentor to help enhance their manual therapy skills, several opportunities are available.

I believe that sharing the holistic approach of evaluating and treating the whole body with colleagues, students, and professional organizations will increase the number of successful practitioners.

Manual Therapy Study Group

I lead a manual therapy study group every 2-3 months that discusses a wide range of manual therapy topics. A variety of different practitioners – including physical therapists, massage therapists, and physicians – of all levels of experience participate in this group discussion.

Individual Mentoring Session

These sessions will enable manual therapists to enhance various aspects of their clinical skill set, including:

  • Improve their application of specific treatment techniques.

  • Develop a deeper understanding of a specific or general treatment philosophy.

  • Consult about difficult patients – with or without the patients present. Joint treatment sessions are encouraged if the patient attends the session.

Cost: $200/HR
