Student Reviews
Wow! This is the best CE class I have ever taken! I really thought I knew my anatomy well, and I did, but I had a very poor understanding of pathologies. I have the Merck manual and it doesn't begin to illuminate the massage relevance as your text does. I will always refer to this book, and I thank you, thank you, thank you for this reference guide. I couldn't tell you enough positive!- L. Vick, LMT
Both the CD Rom and DVD were fabulous tools for those of us who are visual. What a great reference manual!- D. Kelleher, LMT
Finally a complete book especially designed for massage therapists and bodyworkers. The material in the book was amazing, detailed and very informative. I will be using the textbook daily for my geriatric clients. Thank you for the mental stimulation and the challenging quiz. I enjoyed this course tremendously.- D. Gifford, NCMT, AMTA
Very detailed and also very informative on the types of massage that are indicated for different disease/symptoms. This is the first text that has so much valuable information categorized by disease. This will be a valued reference for many years.- D. Jenkins, LMT, NCTMB, ABMP
I was pleasantly surprised with the textbook! This book is loaded with valuable information with an "easy to comprehend" text. Wonderful material - I will strongly recommend it to my coworkers.- S. Johnson, LMT, NCTMB
The information was easy to comprehend and well organized. I will definitely use your service to renew my license in the future. Thank you for providing a great home study.- J. Dupoux, LMT
I am in the business of cosmetology and massage education. I am very impressed with this course. It has helped me in my massage practice as well as in the classroom. I will definitely be looking at the other courses this site offers.- S. Steele, LMT, NCTMB
