    I appreciated the emphasis on dosing [up] over the course of a few visits, as I had previous experience with significant discomfort after DN that was probably related to overdosing.

    Bill Nervig, Asst Athletic Trainer, Arizona CoyotesPhoenix, AZ

    I have taken 3 spinal manipulation courses & this was by far the best in terms of my confidence leaving the course. The amount of hands-on vs lecturing was great. Dustin provides great hands-on feedback & is far more involved in the procedures than previous instructors.

    Excellent course. Supervision and instruction of manual techniques was excellent along with feedback from instructor.

    I was very scared to perform manipulations prior to this course due to unfounded bias. After proper technique and didactic review of studies, I plan to utilize manipulation in my PT practice. Thank you Dr. Buck!

    Karambir Deo, PTWoodbridge, VA

    I was very nervous about this course, having virtually no experience with manipulation, both giving and receiving. Instructor made it significantly less “scary,” and I gained knowledge to deliver manipulations and be manipulated without issue. Thank you!

    Brandi Miller, PTMinot, ND

    Very educational and allowed me to be more comfortable with techniques I haven’t used in a while. Gave me more confidence to utilize manipulation more regularly in practice.

    Instructor gave good verbal instruction plus demonstration and a lot of opportunity for hands-on practice with instruction. I felt like it was easier to learn technique in this course compared to others I have taken.

    Jamie Crane, PTBismarck, ND

    Helpful having multiple demonstrations & video running throughout. Instructor was patient & provided constructive feedback throughout entire course.

    Savannah Olson, PTBismarck, ND

    I appreciated when I was the demonstration, I was the first to practice with step by step feedback from Dustin. He also made sure to ensure each individual felt comfortable with each technique prior to going on to the next technique. He also gave alternative techniques for shorter individuals or for various body types.

    Caitlin Tschritter, PTBismarck, ND

    Plenty of time given to learn, review, & practice each technique.

    Jim Beck, PT, DPTBrooklyn, NY

    Excellent Course! Phenomenal instructor and very practical to clinical practice. I highly recommend!

    Dr. William C. Stokes, DPTConcord, NC

    Great course! I found it helpful to break down each manip and watch the instructor prior to performing it myself. It was also helpful to have a video loop of each manipulation playing.

    Ariel, PTBismarck, ND

    Did an excellent job of providing feedback. Good job reviewing and being available. Good variety.

    Kraig Carpenter, PTDavison, MI

    Part 2: Provided an excellent review of concepts from part 1 and added additional alternative techniques. Part 2 is an essential component for those looking to cement your skills.

    Verbal explanations of techniques with looping videos was very helpful for visualizing the technique being described.

    Kaitlin Coleman, PT, DPT

    Great techniques and research applied with the presentation. Dr. Dustin Buck is also attentive and makes sure adequate time is spent to review each technique with each attendee.

    Jason Umali, PT, DPTSan Diego, CA

    Excellent course. I now feel competent in applying this clinically useful information and acquired techniques.

    Andrew J. Simmonds, PTAlaska

    Great job. Loved the help with hand placement & working all the way through techniques.

    Holly Claussen, DPT, Cert. MDTMissoula, MT

    Having taken Part 1, I was definitely motivated to take Part 2, thinking it would hone my skills, having no idea I would go on to learn so much more…additional techniques, positions, etc. The degree of practice with the attention to detail has never been matched by any other course I have taken.

    Rhonda Wakai, PTMissoula, MT

    Wonderful course, great detail-orientation, lots of hands-on practice time, would definitely recommend.

    Kacie, DPTJackson, CA

    I really appreciated the hands-on help and attention to detail. I have not been good with spinal manipulation in the past and with the way he teaches, I felt like I better understood the content and finally got cavitations!

    Jessica Moore, PT, DPT

    Videos demonstrating techniques were very helpful. Instructor was very available and freely assisted and demonstrated techniques…Atmosphere was positive, encouraging, and non-judgmental with hands-on for new learners.

    Kellie Wright, Physical TherapistSan Andreas, CA

    Specific treatment techniques were taught that helped our clinical staff elevate their level of skill & treatment efficacy.

    Matthew Whitaker, Owner/TherapistPortland, OR

    This course provided me with knowledge and skills that I can use in my clinical practice.

    Asst. Professor/Athletic Trainer

    I recently had a class with Dr. Buck. He is very professional and passionate regarding educating others and his profession. He seems well equipped to handle large and small class sizes while maintaining personalized attention. I really appreciated him spending extra time with me and going over how to modify my techniques, as I have smaller hands than some and working on larger people is difficult with body size. He was also open minded to learning from his students and incorporating thing he found valuable into his approach. Not everyone is flexible in their knowledge or teaching styles, but in the PT world I feel it is essential. I hope you get to enjoy one of his classes.

    Hunter Knight, PT, DPT, COMTSt. Louis, MO

    This course was very informative for first time CEUs. I like the hands-on to modify technique as needed per patient.

    Kristin, PTA

    Excellent execution of teaching techniques described in written content. The instructor was great at specifically adapting techniques depending on each person’s potential physical limitations.

    Alek Maxwell, PTA

    Great problem solving to help me realize what to improve on with my manipulation techniques. Hands-on for the therapist was helpful.

    Tim Rutan, Physical Therapist/Clinical Director

    Great course with attention to providing quality instructions on techniques as well as the research behind said techniques. I will definitely attend more classes taught by Dr. Buck and IMMT.

    Richard Wagner, PT, DPTDenver, CO

    The personal attention made a huge difference compared to other spinal manipulation courses I have taken. As a private practice owner I need quick results for my patients that help to set us apart from our competition. This course has helped us do just that.

    Dr. Jamie Bovay, Physical Therapist, Strength Coach, Private Practice OwnerDenver, CO

    Very practical approach with lots of time for guided practice. This course was exactly what I was looking for and I highly recommend this course.

    Kyle Baxter, PT, DPT

    Wonderful class overall; Dustin was extremely helpful with showing the precise procedure steps & added clinical pearls to lectures.

    Jarred Howard, Student

    Dustin was approachable and thorough. He helped me to dissipate my fear of performing thrust techniques. I can’t wait to apply these skills in my clinic.

    Melanie Hoad, PT, DPT

    Course was a great opportunity to get hands-on experience with HVLA. The course does a great job of breaking down the movements of the thrust manipulations and there was a lot of opportunity to practice. I was able to go back to the clinic Monday and feel comfortable practicing on patients AND able to get cavitations.

    Meredith Noll, Physical Therapist at Brook Army Medical CenterSan Antonio, TX

    I really enjoyed the 1-on-1 instruction…Each person got instant feedback to perfect techniques. Dr. Buck took time to answer all questions in depth & was very open to receiving feedback. I look forward to taking the next course!

    Great job with presentation, instruction & feedback to participants. Good confidence with teaching.

    Bernadette Brase, DPTSan Diego, CA

    I have been holding off with manipulation in my practice, because I wasn’t sure how to safely & comfortably do it. After this course, I feel I can safely & confidently manipulate the spine. I’m excited to use my new skills.

    Physical Therapist/Clinical Manager

    Great course. Good lay out with lecture material & practical portion. Plenty of time to practice & able to receive helpful feedback from instructor and participants. Made thrust easy to understand & not scary to perform.

    Physical Therapist

    This course added valuable skills to my collection that not only expanded my knowledge base but will further inform my learning as a student. This course provided valuable knowledge I would have otherwise not received.

    Jon Scroxton, SPT

    Very personal & hands-on experience. Ample time to ask questions and clean up techniques.

    David Atwood, DPT, Cert MDT, CSCS

    The amount of 1-on-1 time with the instructor was instrumental in feeling more comfortable with the material and techniques. My confidence in performing…spinal manipulations has increased tremendously.

    Jared H., Physical Therapist

    Great 1-on-1 feedback and pointers.

    Stefan Riemens, Physical TherapistDenver, CO

    The videos/looping was very helpful in allowing slow and real-time speed of the manipulation, especially while working with other therapists. Dr. Buck was very helpful in taking time to help me with the mechanics and techniques/changes that were necessary for me to be successful with my body type/structure. Within the class I was able to get a lot of hands-on work w/ different body types which is conducive to applying techniques to patients.

    Olivia Dyer, DPTChicago, IL

    The attention to detail made the difference for me in this course. Dr. Buck was sure to provide hands-on help and devoted time in making sure everyone understood the techniques before moving on to the next portion of the course.

    Physical Therapist

    The amount of instructor one on one time was far greater than any other continuous education 20+ courses that I have taken in the past 11 years.

    San Francisco, CA Course Participant

    I really enjoyed the emphasis on clinical practice/expertise vs theoretical. Highly detailed personal instruction.

    Jonathan Schaefer, Owner

    I enjoyed how Dustin took the time to go through each manipulation via video/discussion/tutorial – the continuous practice throughout the course really helped me understand the material. I liked that Dustin would also guide me through the manips with tactile cues to my hands.

    PT, Premier Performance PT and Sports Medicine

    One-on-one instruction was EXCEPTIONAL. Never have I seen so much time & effort shown in any course I’ve ever attended. Great presentation, flow of teaching. Information in didactic & course book was precise.

    Director of Rehab

    He provided one-on-one instruction and in-depth correction that has corrected some shortcomings in my technique that were not made clear/evident in past manipulation courses. We worked at a rate in which we became more proficient in technique before moving on.

    Chicago, IL Participant

    Dr. Buck provided great individualized, hands-on instruction to help me feel confident to provide safe and effective manipulations. I’m looking forward to using my new skills in the clinic tomorrow!

    Jessica Seaburg PT, DPT, OCSLivingston, MT

    Helped with some techniques I was missing and now have more options to try with patients.

    F.F., PT, DPT

    Great labs & applicable material. The pace of the course was good & can confidently start applying techniques learned.

    Physical Therapist, DPT

    I really liked the written out set-up and explanation of each technique – far more helpful than previous instruction and courses I have taken.

    E.G., DPT

    Lots of hands-on. Instruction was very individualized and focused on our deficit areas to get us as proficient as possible. Using the scale to show force requirements & having us practice on the scale was a great addition to the teaching.

    Rhonda Wakai, PTMissoula, MT

    Very happy with the practice time we had. Instructor was encouraging and motivating.

    Mitchell Anderson, DPTAurora, IL

    Excellent course. Dustin was very knowledgeable and thorough with his course. I learned a lot and in detail. Thank you!
