Testimonials

F.A.P.™ exceeded my expectations as the best seminar I have ever attended for understanding and palpating soft tissue structures. ? The hands on instruction was well organized and clearly explained with relevant clinical information and examples. It added more specificity to diagnosis with immediate improvements to clinical outcomes. I would highly recommend this seminar to any manual therapist no matter what their experience

F.A.P™ is a fantastic seminar. I particularly valued all of the clinical tips that were shared along with the great palpation education. The instructors are so knowledgeable and helpful. My clinical practice was already improved Monday morning when I went to work. I'm excited to take the Upper Limb and Spine seminars as well.
Dr. Emily Morton, Chiropractor



As a chiropractor whose practice is composed largely of athletes I have found that the knowledge and skills attained through FAP™ to be an invaluable asset.  Since graduation, I have attended many courses and seminars aimed at improving my ability to assess and treat my patients.  FAP™ was, by far, the most applicable course I have ever taken.  My improved ability to locate and assess soft tissue conditions has greatly decreased recovery time and increased success rates for my patients.  The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and approachable throughout the course.  The small group atmosphere and hands on instruction allowed each participant to maximize their learning.  FAP™ is a course that I suggest every practitioner of manual medicine attend.  The results are outstanding and your patients will thank you for it.

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.

F.A.P.™ is by far the best and most systematic means of understanding and palpating clinically relevant anatomy - in existence today! The knowledge I have gained from this course will truly increase my diagnostic and soft tissue treatment skills. Dr. Spina and his instructors are also an incredible source of relevant clinical information. The F.A.P. system is so effective; I have already started to implement these techniques into my day to day practice. I would recommend that all chiropractors take this course. Thanks to Dr. Spina and all the F.A.P.™ instructors.
Dr. Bill Cameron Bsc.(Kin), DC., RTP, Chiropractor



Since attending F.A.P.™, I have been able to increase the specificity of both my diagnoses and my treatments. F.A.P.™ has enhanced my soft tissue treatment techniques (such as Active Release Techniques®) as I can confidently say that I am truly on the tissue I am intending to treat. The course is very well organized and the instructors are knowledgeable and very approachable. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to brush up on their palpatory skills or to enhance their diagnostic abilities.

I am so glad I attended the F.A.P.™ seminars. I never realized how specific one could be regarding soft tissue palpation and assessment until my eyes were opened to this unparalleled system. Now, I am confident enough to rely on my palpation findings to construct efficient, specific and effective treatment plans. I highly recommend all manual therapists attend these seminars…over and over again!
Nicole Sullivan, Physiotherapist



The F.A.P.™ system opens your eyes to a whole new world of assessment and treatment possibilities. The specificity that the system allows you to achieve is nothing short of remarkable. I recommend all manual therapy students take these seminars for not only the instruction on soft issue palpation, but also for the incredible anatomy review, case discussions, and functional assessment tools that are reviewed.
Nik Komarov, Athletic Therapist & Physiotherapy Student



The F.A.P.™ course was very useful on a number of levels. It provided a thorough overview of anatomy, but more importantly clinically applicable anatomy that you can use 'Monday morning'. The instructors provided good hands-on assistance and managed to weave in many clinical pearls that further added to the value of the course. Without question I would recommend F.A.P.™ courses to others; I look forward to taking the next one.

As a Chiropractic student, entering your 4th year of clinical internship can be a daunting task. After having taken one of the F.A.P.™ seminars, I can say confidently that I am more prepared to both assess and treat various conditions of the upper limb effectively and efficiently. The seminars teach anatomy in an entirely different and more practical way as compared to the undergraduate curriculum. I will definitely be attending the other F.A.P.™ seminars and I recommend that all students of manual medicine do the same.

The F.A.P.™ course I took with Dr. Spina exceeded my expectations. The information was broken down with 'on screen' anatomy photos and verbal explanations. There was opportunity for plenty of hands on and a chance to palpate the instructors to make sure I was 'spot on'. The clinical tidbits were invaluable. I like that I was able to take the information learned and use it in clinical application immediately.
