I finished the Neck Injury Workshop this past weekend and I absolutely loved it! Bob and Linda are amazing instructors who have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. I appreciated their ability and patience in teaching to all levels of experience. They were very approachable and allowed people to feel “non-threatened” when asking questions. I also appreciated the amount of hands on time that was allotted in the workshop and their supervision during this time to help with any questions I had. Thanks for the wonderful learning opportunity!
