Testimonials

What I found most valuable about the course was how practical and clinically useful it was. Neil has a very high level of skill and experience, along with a very pragmatic, hands-on approach to teaching that made the material easy to understand and apply in practice. I especially enjoyed revisiting a number of orthopaedic tests that are still extremely relevant in day-to-day patient care, along with the precision and detail of the extremity techniques being taught. It was the kind of course where you come away with things you can genuinely use in clinic on Monday morning.

Even after over 25 years in practice, I found the course to be an excellent refresher and a great opportunity to refine assessment and treatment approaches for extremity conditions. Neil  created a really positive learning environment with great camaraderie throughout the group, which made the weekend both enjoyable and professionally rewarding. I would definitely recommend the course to other Chiropractors and manual therapists. Whether you are experienced and looking to sharpen your skills or new to extremity work, there is a lot of practical value in this course.

What I found most valuable about the course was the opportunity to learn a variety of hands-on treatment methods for managing different pathologies of the body. I have applied many of these techniques in practice, and they have led to excellent patient outcomes.

CONOR SPILLANE

(MISCP)

I found the course particularly valuable in how clearly it translated theory into practical, real-world clinical applications. The case-based examples were especially helpful in reinforcing key concepts.It has definitely supported my clinical work, giving me more confidence in applying the techniques and improving my overall approach with patients.

“Neil‘s approach to manipulation is precise and measures. This is exemplified in his teaching. I completed the spinal and peripheral manipulation courses. Both these courses will give participants an added advantage when it comes to unlocking those difficult to treat patients. I was amazed at the results that I got with one of my athletes when I used a technique Neil had shown me for the knee”.

Ray McGinley

(MISCP)

“I found the Spinal Manipulation Course to be very beneficial to my clinical work and use lots of the techniques I learned on a regular basis particularly the Lumbar Spine METs and Thoracic Spine Thrusts. I also found Neil’s method of teaching to be very easy to follow, lots of information given without making it confusing”.

DENIS O LEARY

(ANMT)

“I absolutely loved Neil’s course focusing on Thoracic and Lumbar spine manipulations. I found the theory was great to review as I felt it was good to refresh certain aspects. There was plenty of practical time given for the techniques and I loved the smaller group as I really felt I could access help and feedback on what I was doing practically. I have been using them a lot in clinical practice, with some success in achieving manipulations. It is something I would use most days in clinical practice. I am looking forward to doing future courses with Neil.”

AISLING HOLLAND (MISCP)

(MISCP)

“I found attending the Peripheral Joint Manipulation Course really benefited my practice. I regularly use the techniques I learned on ankles, knees and shoulders with my clients. They have been so happy with the results and feel they’re getting much more value since I’ve introduced what I’ve taken from the course”.

GERARD FITZSIMONS
