“God used the information I obtained from this course to help my brother recover from a severe 21-day hospitalization from COVID. I have and still use components of it in my clinical practice (i.e. hot foot bath, steam inhalation, revolutions, and instruction in contract shower). This course did well in educating in detail the techniques of conducting these treatments. I feel very proficient in carrying out the treatments.”
“I take many courses and each one teaches me something else. I especially appreciated the portion that dealt with bouondries and desexualizing the treatments. This course gave me confidence and conviction.”
