An excellent course! Refreshing my foundational neuromuscular knowledge has been a fantastic way to sharpen my clinical reasoning and elevate the results I get on the table. Now that I better understand the 'why' behind tissue responses, my treatment plans are much more targeted and effective. Highly recommend!
By Kaitlin Alexandria Sisson on 4/23/2025
I graduated National Holistic Institute's Neuromuscular Program a couple of years ago and found this to be a phenomenal refresher! This work is vastly complex, and yet, this course made it seem so simple. I walked away feeling more confident in my work and felt refreshed in my practice. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
By Brad Martinez on 9/15/2024
I've never really been a fan of online courses, but this course sounded interesting. I'm glad I took this course because I learned a ton of information that I didn't learn before. I feel equipped with new techniques and pathologies to explore.
By James Alex on 5/19/2024
This is a good course by Michael Everson. A good introduction into neuromuscular massage. Good information on muscle testing. If you have taken Michael Everson's Muscle Energy Technique course, this course is a good companion.
By Polly Harriman on 4/27/2024
It was a great fit. Trigger point is what I do, I learned a lot about application technique. Really informative. The instructor is easy to listen to, explains well and goes at a nice place. A little fast now and again but overall, 0 to 10, i'd give a a 9.
By Ashley Bo on 10/10/2023
This was very informative. The only recommendation I have is that the explanations could be a little more simplified with visuals for those that may be newer to massage therapy so that we can truly understand. But for those who have more experience, this is probably easier for them to understand. Either way, still a good and valuable course.
By Pete Changaris on 5/31/2023
Yes, I can utilize the course material right away. I would appreciate seeing another course to only review specific stretching techniques such as: stretching the scalenes, upper, middle, lower traps, lat dorsi, the quads, hams, tfl's, QL's electors, scm's, sub occipitals, as well as other muscles mentioned in the course.
By Dawa Raphael Che on 8/9/2022
A little over half way through the course and finding it very useful and informative. I would highly recommend this course for those who already have a basic understanding of massage but are wanting to take their treatments to the next level.
By Mutsumi Cornett on 1/7/2022
The instructor was great and easy to listen to. I can tell he tried to be as thorough as he could in each lesson but I would've liked it better if he actually didn't skip some parts like "hold this for 60-90 sec" and then he won't show us demonstrate for that length of time. I also think it could've been better if he showed zoomed out versions to show body mechanics as well. But overall, amazing course and I'll be checking out other courses he has!
By Dominic Turner on 11/26/2021
I've purchased 3 of your courses and have finished 2 of them. This course on NMT is a very clear, concise and engaging source of knowledge. It covers, laws of NMT, theory, assessments, practical applications and some insight into METs (Muscle Energy Techniques). Thank you so much for your courses, I can't wait to put the skills into practice. Have a Blessed Day
