Joe Latorre gives you the WHYS of the process of the miracle of how your body confronts injury /attack. He breaks it down into digestible chunks, well-organized using colorful graphics. He gives LMTs what we need to know to not worsen an injury & how we might ease pain & suffering to create correction. Very thorough, great quiz questions. I highly recommend this course. I'm excited to take his hydrotherapy course next!
