Testimonials
'I am always amazed with Mike’s commitment to the fields
of kinesiology, biomechanics and manual medicine; this is
evident when you hear him speak. Mike’s lectures are
filled with the latest information even if that information
proves to be contrary to the common beliefs [Read: misconceptions]
at the moment. He presents evidence-based information in his
lectures with clarity, conciseness, and clinical relevancy
and has the knowledge base, references and clinical prowess
to back it up.”

“Michael Maxwell is a top notch therapist and one of
the few practitioners I turn to when either myself or one
of my athletes needs special attention. His knowledge of the
body and of therapeutic modalities is exceptional. And his
ability to convey this knowledge through his educational seminars
is outstanding. During the last shoulder seminar I attended
with Michael, I walked away with a greater understanding of
the shoulder and, more importantly, several therapeutic strategies
that I could immediately apply. I recommend that anyone interested
in learning more about functional anatomy join in on one of
Michael’s events.”

“We tend to overlook the importance and relevance of
structure to function. Anatomy and functional anatomy are
two different ball games, and without discovering the link
between the two, you will simply be an average practitioner.
Mike has done a tremendous job of introducing the shoulder
complex from an anatomical and biomechanical perspective.
He then paves the way and directs you to success in assessment
and exercise related treatment. His work is evidence based,
comprehensive, easy to follow, and ready to be applied. Have
your thinking caps on, because the course is up beat, hands
on, and interactive. Mike will find a way to challenge you!”

“I want to say thanks once again for running the course.
I learned more than expected and found the overall experience
to be very rewarding. As well, I thank you for the assesment
on my shoulder. I have already completed a session of the
exercises and stretches that you suggested.”
