How did this webinar compare to other continuing ed classes you have taken?

“One of the best continuing ed classes I’ve ever taken in the last 15 years.”

“I thought this was the best massage continuing ed class I have taken so far and would definitely take another class from Cathy and recommend it to other therapists I know. The information was presented clearly and there was enough to be thorough but not too much so it was excessive. The short breaks were also nice, the stretching near the end was a great addition, and I appreciated how efficient she was overall. Also, I appreciated that she gave individual feedback to people, and obviously was excited and interested in the material she was teaching. “

“About the same as a live workshop, lecture and then hands on practice with the teacher explaining and guiding us if we’re not doing correctly.”

“I enjoyed the webinar format. I learned as much as I would in a traditional classroom setting, if not more. I was able to focus 100% on the materials and techniques without all of the fuss, inconvenience and distraction of travel.”

“This class was very convenient having over Zoom. I did not have to travel, get a hotel, haul around supplies. I absolutely loved the convenience & felt like I learned just as much as attending in person. Thank you!”

 

“This was a better and more meaningful experience than some of the other continuing education classes that I have taken. Very happy that I chose to continue my education with Cathy. This class gave me useful skills and knowledge that I can use now.”

 

“One of the most informative, by far.”  “I was able to see the applications of the techniques better than in a live class, where everyone is standing around a table trying to get a better view.”

“This seminar is one of the best seminars I have taken. I felt like the content and instruction were fantastic. I wasn’t sure how effective the web live format would be, but I feel that in some ways it was better than a live class. I felt like I was better able to see and hear the entire class than in a live session. It also seemed to me that it was easier for the instructor to view each student and their work.”

“The live format is definitely better than pre-recorded option.”

“Great directions, informative research/case studies, good product suggestions, mostly I appreciated Cathy taking time to correct us.”

“One of the most easy to understand and to the point.”

“I really prefer the webinar style.”

“This was my first time taking an online webinar class. I felt it was possibly even better than in person. Very clear instructions.”

“In comparison to others- this class kept a very nice pace with a very attentive instructor!”

“One of the best. .I think the presentation, production, and attention to detail were excellent.”

“The convenience of taking the class from home and receiving hands on credits puts it above most if not all continuing ed classes I’ve taken…..Thank You.”

“I like how much experience Cathy has and shares that is very valuable.”

“This course helped better tie foot health together with issues all the way through the kinetic chain. The resources provided, techniques learned, and protocols all fit nicely into my current routine, and should help me to provide a better offering for my clients.”

“The approach to addressing issues from the ground up. My partner and I both commented to each other that the information provided us with a new set of eyes when looking at working these areas.”

“My second course with Cathy, and I just love the way that the material is presented and taught. Cannot recommend enough.”

“All perfect! Was able to put the foot work to use today on a client…Soleus TrP 1! Love this work!

“Cathy’s classes are incomparable to other classes I’ve taken. She is top notch!”

“I was surprised how well it went. This was my first webinar and I had no idea how it was going to work and just how everything would flow but I was pleasantly surprised how well it went.”

“It was very good and had great information. I think I still like in person classes better but this was the only option I had because of where I live. It ended up being a great class !”

“As far as Trigger Point classes, best in class, no doubt.”

”So convenient and cost-effective! I’ve had to travel over two hours for CEU’s because of a huge lack of hands-on classes being held in my area, and have paid twice as much, plus the cost of gas and hotels!”

Thanks again for the great workshop. I wanted to tell you that to my sheer joy (!!!) my sciaticaand lower back pain completely went away and has been holding since our class! You know I had back surgery and have had sciatica type symptoms and the feeling of a “bag of rocks” on the lower back for a long time now. The treatments we learned on each other really helped me immensely and I cannot wait to help others.

Thanks so much Cathy, I really enjoyed all of your online courses and appreciate your attention to detail! I put the study guide and transcripts in separate binders for notes and interactive learning. I will certainly be reviewing them in the months to come until I can find the TrPs without reference. After taking all four units, I have a more comprehensive picture of how pain affects the body. I feel more confident addressing the root of their pain versus simply treating it.

Mary Lambrecht, LMT

At first, I was afraid to deviate from my basic routine, but now I use these techniques in every session. As I see the positive results achieved by using trigger point and myofascial techniques, I am eager to continue on this path. I am a better and more confident therapist. Cathy’s teaching style always encourages students to think, to question, and speculate. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

This is Debra Collins and I work in Naples Fl and live in Fort Myers. I just love your programs and would take them over and over again if I could afford them! What I like most about your programs is all the online work you do prior to the workshop. I love getting the information in advance. So when we get to work with you it’s all hands-on… I just like all the information you give to us… I loved the added touch to taking care of ourselves…I thought it was really cool how you showed us how to take care of ourselves along with taking care of others…And I really truly believe you have helped me become a better therapist… I will be taking more courses and I know I will continue learning from you…

Improving my ability to assess is a huge thing. Now I don’t waste all my time. It’s not exciting for me to do relaxation work anymore. I call myself a myofascial trigger point therapist and am attracting people who want to get better and then just do maintenance.
JoAnn Rahl, LMT

Because no one’s ever taught my clients that perpetuating factors were important to correct, I have made a file of the hand-outs from class and copy them for my patients. When they return for follow-ups, I check their progress.

I feel like a massage evangelist. People coming into the spa are realizing what massage can do for them. A New York client with a forward head position was astounded I knew so much. I told her I just happened to be a continuing education junkie. Of everything we have covered, it seems I use the gluteus minimus and quadratus lumborum techniques on every other person.
Kerry Stewman, LMT

I would like to say your class’ system is probably the most helpful thing that I have learned as a massage therapist. The classes have given me the knowledge to go out and help my patients with pain complaints. All the posture work we do has been an enormous help. If anything, just to keep reinforcing in my mind what I need to do to maintain my own posture.
Meg Sapp, LMT

What I liked about the class is that it helps me to understand how much I don’t know and makes me interested in finding out more things that I can do to help the clients that I have, and also to make me work safer. I like the way you teach us how to work better so we’re not harming ourselves while helping other people. That’s very important to me because I’m older and I’m going to have less time or be less able to recover from an injury than a younger person would. But I also like the depth that you cover with the hands-on in the classes. I think its a great idea to have the seminars before the classes so you can take the time to actually do the work and get the feel of things. It’s just been really tremendous for me because when I first started in massage therapy I thought I knew what it was all about, and then I had to get out of school and find out that I didn’t know anything. So this has been very helpful. Thankyou!

Hi, my name is Patti Reed and I am a licensed massage therapist and personal trainer in Naples, FL. I have taken all of the Beyond Trigger Points courses with Cathy Cohen. They have been the best tool I have ever learned for my practice. When people come in with different pains in parts of their body, to be able to really target where to work to get rid of their pain has just been a blessing in my practice. It has been very, very helpful! Cathy is an awesome teacher.
