* **Master the Mechanics:** You will learn exactly how to understand the muscular and skeletal systems, and how to manipulate them for the maximum benefit of your client.

* **Accessible Testing:** We believe in hands-on skill, not academic stress. For students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, or English as a second language, your final exams will be entirely practical (no complex written tests!).
