TESTIMONIALS
"I attended a weekend seminar with the F.A.P.™ Upper Extremity System, and I was very impressed with the amount of relevant information presented, the instructors' knowledge, the time taken with the 'hands-on' palpation portion of the seminar, and its overall organization. I have been 21 years in general practice, and before I attended I thought I had a sound clinical knowledge concerning the muscles, nervous innervation, and the pathways of nerves. It was certainly apparent to me at the end of the weekend that my knowledge drastically needed updating. On Monday I was a better, more specific diagnostician, and this lead to better clinical results."
