Testimonials

OT/PT/CHT said,

"Good work!"​

“Such an amazing insight to a challenging and consuming diagnosis.     I love how inclusive it is and feels like it would have excellent carryover.    There are several typos, but it does not affect the depth of knowledge you are sharing.     Thanks so much,  I appreciate the class.”

 

“Exercise ideas, splinting and scap mobillizations were a great review and videos were helpful.”

 

“I really like the iKNOT concept and learned a lot and I've been incorporating my new knowledge already into my practical work. It will definitely my approach for CRPS patients and many other patients too!”

 

“Generally good content. but a bit long.  Good content of material”

 

"Excellent presentation. "

“I learned much more than I expected even though I have been a therapist for many years. Good reminder to look at the entire upper quadrant/ person instead of just the affected part of the UE. Did not truly understand the importance of the Z component but will now incorporate it much more into treatment. Using the arm bike in forward and reverse. Ooopppps! I will now stop doing the reverse. Was using it more for increasing circulation /priming UE prior to strengthening.”

 

“I would like to see more evidence based studies for this approach, event though this may be hard to do. Sometimes the materials were repetitive or fluffly. I would like to learn more about specifics about the hand treatment ideas and intrinsic work.”

 

“Very thorough and a great course with lots of extra knowledge components to apply to clinical practice/setting. Thank you!”

 

“There were many good images throughout, but sometimes I felt a video would have made the idea more clear than just a still image, especially for demonstrating exercises”

 

“This was a good course. I did learn some pearls that can help with my treatment of patients….”

 

“Good videos with demonstrations and examples to explain approach in various planes.”

 

“What a great program!  Really challenges my clinical reasoning skills !   I am looking forward to incorporating the i-KNOT Approach  in my practice.”

 

“I initially gave this course a bad review because I did not see the video presentation that accompanied the course.  I did not see the arrows on the left and only read the ebook!    After taking the course in the way it was intended, it is full of good sound knowledge that I am already applying.  The concepts are clear and easy to understand.  CRPS is not an easy diagnose to treat and this course offers an approach that will certainly help patients achieve better outcomes.”

 

“Good foundational course material, good sequencing of information, but needs to be more easily understood, presented , often repetitive, but overall good information , but would like to have had some discussion on other techniques for treating CRPS, maybe including any research on mirror box therapy, neural plasticity, pain management or cognitive behavioral approaches. but overall interesting material, but could be condensed into shorter course.”

 

“Overall I learned a lot, good review of anatomy and how to apply the knowledge to new concepts and in an integrated, thoughtful, easy to apply treatment plan. Thank you!….”

 

“The information presented should be in basic level training as it is such an important and useful approach for dealing with a challenging clinical problem.  I'm sure that the repetition  of the main principles was likely intentional, but I did feel like the course could have been a bit shorter and less repetitious.  Overall, great course. I will forever  emphasize more scapular mobility  and include Z plane movements in all treatment scenarios. Thank you”

 

“… I have implemented a few ideas with 2 patients struggling with CRPS and emphasized more proximal attention/scap mob etc. and found it helpful….”

 

“Very good. A lot of good ideas that I will definitely use in practice” 

 

“Great course! Lots of good information.”

 

“As CRPS is one of the most debilitating conditions to our patients, previously with no reliable, treatment approach , this course filled quite a professional and patient centered need. Thank you for taking the time & great effort to organize the strategies you've found most successful in treating this population of patients and presenting it in a logic systematic way.” 

 

“Really good course.   I was wondering how to perform scapular rotational mobs without table with someone that has significant pain with all shoulder forearm wrist and hand movement….”

 

“I thought it provided a good reminder of implementing NDT principles and getting away from the table in hand therapy to provide a comprehensive treatment approach.” 

 

“Instructed was very knowledgable and outline the XYZ approach in a manner that it can be easily applied in my own professional program.  Thanks"

 

“Thanks for sharing excellent treatment ideas with explanation.  Thank you. “

 

“… Good course content. Thank you for doing a course! CRPS is a tough one to treat. Technique and exercises will be helpful with other patients too.”

 

“I think it’s a very good and detailed course. These skills will be useful for many of my patients.” 

 

“This is a great course that addresses the missing component for the chronic pain population. This course puts together the pain principles, nerve gliding components, the movement components necessary for function, and weight bearing components which lead to the proprioceptive system that helps to override the pain signals. It is organized and stepwise but has the ability to conform to the needs of the person to still move them in a forward progression.”

 

“Presenter is very knowledgeable.  I enjoyed the treatment ideas and her logic behind her treatment”

 

“I like the organization of the material into various steps and I think it is practical information that can be transferred easily into the clinic.  To improve the course, I think the material could be more concise.”

 

“this course provides a lot of good information..… This was a good review of the importance of working the whole arm. There is a heavy shoulder focus at the expense of other areas.”

 

“I really like this approach and the steps to follow. I have already started integrating this into my practice. THank you. “

“..appreciated the videos on scapular mobilizations”
