Fremont, CA US
July 16, 2022

Live in Fremont, CA

5 CE Technique hours
2:00 pm - 7:00 pm
2140 Peralta Blvd., Suite 105, Fremont, CA 94536

Maximum Enrollment: 20

Overview

Step by Step approach to adjusting the Lumbar Spine using a series of exercises to apply speed, leverage and mechanics for maximum patient results and easy doctor effort.  Learn lumbar Push and Pull adjusting and when to use the Push or Pull adjustments.

What's Different?

Chiropractic technique is traditionally taught as a static "set-up" and that the patient should be at "tension" when they are getting adjusted.  We change the paradigm to Relaxation, Balance and Timing, so that when a patient gets adjusted it feels more like a warm knife in butter!

A unique series of Exercises replace the "set-up" model and attendees leave with a variety of Drills that can be used to develop their skills.

Why a Five-Hour Course?

5 hour blocks of training and instruction allow a focus and attention on a given topic and create a bridge from learning too much new information all at once (so you don't know where to start) to being able to apply what you've learned immediately into your skills development and practice.

This course is part of the Gonstead Academy series.
