"The complete MYO Seminar Series has changed the way I practice. After my first weekend of class, my patients noticed that I was treating them with increased effectiveness and efficiency. No longer am I treating a 'mystery' pain that never seems to dissappear completely. My happy client list continues to grow especially since I teach self-care techniques I learned from the MYO Seminar Series. I am still amazed on a daily basis how well these techniques work!"
