As a Chiropractor working in high performance sport over 20 years I had not had an opportunity to work with an Osteopath until I met Ed Paget. His clinical skills and innovative treatments were extremely effective but I was most impressed tin his movement based problem solving skills. I liked his ability to taylor specific exercises to correct the athlete’s functional deficit and enhance the performance sport specially which had a very positive effect on our team.
This course first appealed to me because of the ease of doing continued education online. Once I looked into it I realized that a functional 3 dimensional approach to scoliosis was what I needed to take the management of my scoliosis patients to the next level. I’ve been very impressed by the course and the level of support that goes with it.
The Scoliosis Correction Protocol™ is an very good tool to work with in practice. On the one hand the online modules are well laid out with detailed explanation and on the other hand there is a full range of exercises that can be adapted to all my clients with scoliosis. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to add this area to their practice
I worked with Ed professionally at the highest level of Canadian sport for 2 years and was always impressed by his ability to go to the source of a movement problem. At the elite level of sport we look for medical innovators, those people that challenge conventional practice and come out with something better. Ed used a variety of innovative movement screens which would be adapted to each athlete to effectively show us and the athlete where there was a problem. His treatments then blended osteopathic techniques with movement rehab to keep our athletes performing at their best.
I have been looking for practical and applicable course to help my students and athletes best impact their scoliosis. I work with swimmers, runners, actors, models, adults and athletes looking for more comfortable, confident and capable bodies. With the Scoliosis Correction Protocol™ I have an effective and easy to system to learn from and use. With the volume of information out there to choose from, the Scoliosis Correction Protocol™ stands alone in it's value offered and easy to implement system.
To be able to learn a 3 Dimensional approach to scoliosis online was a real help to me. There are not a lot of opportunities for continued education where I work so the Scoliosis Correction Protocol™ for professionals was perfect. The way Ed has put the program together makes it easy to follow and it contains is a lot of practical assessment and treatment information that I’ve added to my general treatments, not just for people with scoliosis. I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking to take continued education but doesn’t want to or isn’t able to travel.
