SPECIAL PROMOTION

Dear Colleagues and Course Participants:

Welcome to the April 2009 edition of Manual Therapy Horizons the official newsletter of Hands-On Seminars.

Spring is here already and Hands-On Seminars sponsors several continuing education courses in the US and abroad. Our courses in New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois but also in Portugal, Brazil and Bahrain have been great successes. More and more therapists realize the value of Manual Therapy and are seek certification in manual therapy through our MCMT certification program. One of the main points that we emphasize at Hands-On Seminars is that:


It is more important to know how to properly evaluate & therefore make proper decisions as to what and how to treat using manual therapy, than just knowing how to apply a specific manual therapy technique.

There are many other continuing education organizations that emphasize on just teaching specific techniques. With Hands-On Seminars you learn how to apply a technique but you also learn proper evaluation methods. Many of you have reported that time and time again you have applied the techniques you learned at Hands-On Seminars with extra-ordinary results for your patients.

We encourage you to continue learning and continue helping people. Hands-On Seminars will continue supporting your efforts.

Take now advantage of our SPECIAL REBATE PROGRAM and of our FREE MANUAL THERAPY SEMINAR Clinical Rounds program and stay ahead with your continuing education units and enhance your career and job opportunities by acquiring advanced manual therapy skills.

We are here to help you.

Here is a taste of our new programs geared to help you reach your goals at an affordable price.
