"It's like watching a series.
You know you don't have time to watch another episode but you want to so you do.
​
When attending a talk or course, I usually struggle to focus for even half an hour but because the videos were short, I felt accomplished after each one and I could take a break every 10 to 15 minutes.
​
I found the layout very user friendly and I liked that I could work through it in my own time."
​
- Kalinka Terre Blanche
Clinician at Rainsford Biokinetics
"The way the course was set up was so ideal.
If I could fit the whole course in one day, I think I would have. But it's like a series. Every time you're like one more episode, just one more, one more module.
From the beginning, I understood the flow right until the end. It was very user friendly.
The materials help you stay on top of the game for every session you go into. "
- Jodie Vermeulen
Clinician at SA Biokinetics INC
"You went a step further and said how can we practically implement this with the client.
Most courses they would just say yes instead of using this, use this, and that's pretty much the end of it.
But they don't really get into the specifics of, okay, how would you change your approach if you're using method B instead of your usual method?
And that's what I also love about that specific module."
- Brendon Marais
Clinician at bmbio
"Definitely a lot of value for money"
​
"and enthusiasm for your career. The other thing was the practical advice. Lots of info but broken down into steps: practical steps. "
​

​

"I find these updates so helpful.
It is often so difficult to find time to read articles when you have your own practice.
Between seeing patients and running your practice it becomes difficult to make sure that you are up to date on the latest rehab techniques and new studies that's been done.
I used to spend hours
trying to find relevant articles that actually helps me to treat my patients better.
These updates makes it so easy and the best part is
you can apply what you read in your practice.
I really feel that it makes a huge difference in my practice and if i need to read the whole article it is right at my finger tips.
My favorite thing about these weekly updates is that
I learn something new every week
and then I apply that to my rehab.
I love the fact that I can tell a patient I read this article about their injury and this is the latest an greatest new research about it.
They love it as well.
It is like breath of fresh air in my practice."
