“Thank you all so much for sharing your experience and expertise. This class was exactly what I needed to refocus, recharge and advance my skills. I really liked watching Ellen do her full exam on her patient. That helps to see the clinical application of what we learned in class."
–Kara Amstutz, DVM, CCRT, CVPP, Springfield, Missouri

“Ellen is fantastic. My goal is to be able to do manual therapies like her. No matter what questions I have, she has an answer. The only thing that would make it better is to have 5 days instead of 2.5. So much to learn from her!"
–Tammy Perkins Johnson, DVM, CCRP, CERP, CVA, CVSMT, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

“Loved learning Ellen's techniques for manual therapy and seeing the science to back it up. TAs were fabulous especially for this being the first time the course was offered."
–Alice Baker, DVM, CVA, CVC, CCRT, Fort Collins, Colorado
