Introduction
Welcome to The Fundamentals of Sciatica!
In this intro, I share exactly why I built this course. I specifically designed it for sport PTs who are either overwhelmed or a little stuck with acute sciatica patients. I share how it builds real confidence through clinical pattern recognition & lasting results.
This system will help you eval, treat, and communicate with your patients more effectively without getting lost in overcomplicating fluff.
Over the next several days, you’ll get the Module 1 video lessons from Solve-Sciatica’s online course.
You’ll get one video lesson delivered to your inbox every day for the next week.
