Course description
This on-site seminar builds upon the three online-modules by Whitfield Reaves taking place from August 2020 to February 2021 and delivers the practical aspects based on the material discussed online. Each day is dedicated to one online-module and its specific body region.
For each body area, the anatomy, pathology and key points and techniques for common injuries is reviewed. This is then followed by live presentations and live practice of all techniques.

«Das praktische Arbeiten und die Zeit die von den Dozenten und den beiden Helfern genommen wurde um zu erklären und anzuleiten ist genau das was nötig ist, damit man das gelernte in der Praxis erfolgreich anwenden kann. Einfach ein super Team.»
