Review:
Excellent quality, Excellent value for money, Invaluable learning resource, Awesome Animated Graphics, Best nerve treatment DVD I have ever seen
Overall Rating ***** A must see, highly recommended! The 3D still and animated anatomy graphics are simply awesome and it is jam packed with over 4 hours of assessment and treatment techniques covering the lower back, hip and pelvis and the sciatic nerve along its entire course. For over 4 hours of high quality video instruction, this represents extremely good value for money.
Who would benefit from this DVD? Any therapist who treats lower back pain within their clinic and, in particular, clients who present with sciatic-type symptoms. Which, I guess, probably means all of us! AMT – In Good Hands, Reviewed by Tyraus Farrelly
