Frequently Asked Questions

  • Some states may recognize continuing education approval granted by another jurisdiction. If your state licensing board permits reciprocity, you may be able to apply the hosting state's approval toward your renewal requirements.

    Reciprocity policies vary and may change. Participants are responsible for confirming eligibility directly with their licensing authority.

  • You will immediately receive a confirmation email of your course purchase.

    Two weeks before the course, all participants will be sent a Thinkific link where the pre-course material is made accessible. Pre-course materials open two weeks out so the material is fresh in your mind before the weekend course.

    Additional course details will be emailed one week beforehand, covering logistics, schedule, proper attire, and more.

  • Absolutely. Physical therapy students and athletic trainers are welcome to attend.

    While examples and discussions are presented through a physical therapy lens, the principles of clinical reasoning, movement analysis, criterion-based decision-making, and rehabilitation apply across professions.

    Formal CEU approval is currently available for licensed physical therapists in approved states. Attendees from other professions may be able to receive credit by independently submitting the course to their certifying or licensing organization. We're happy to provide the supporting documentation needed for that process.

  • Yes. The course includes a combination of didactic sections and lab-based sections covering a variety of hands-on components, including exercise, manual therapy, muscle energy techniques, and performance testing.

  • Due to limited seating and the advance planning required for each course, registrations are non-refundable.
