Which continuing education courses, certifications, books etc have most influenced your practice?

Foundational books and courses that shaped my practice

Thank you for that answer. Ted, my answer would have been very similar. Human Locomotion by Thomas shot and Anatomy trains by Tom. Myers are two of the like foundational books that I find myself going back to and recommending to others. As far as like continuing education courses, Active Release techniques was very helpful for learning Anatomy with my hands. More than any specific protocol. I felt like those courses helped really refine my palpation. And then pasta restoration Institute has a number of good courses that I felt like improved my assessments and my understanding of how the body compensates when things aren't working. Well there are certainly others but those are kind of the Bedrock Foundation. The things that I find myself going back to over and over.

Thank you for the question. I would say that two foundational books that have greatly influenced my practice are Human Locomotion by Thomas Michaud and Anatomy Trains by Tom Myers. These books have been invaluable resources that I often refer back to and recommend to others.

In terms of continuing education courses, I found that Active Release Techniques (ART) was particularly helpful in developing my hands-on understanding of anatomy. It improved my palpation skills more than any specific protocol. Additionally, the courses offered by the Postural Restoration Institute have enhanced my assessments and deepened my understanding of how the body compensates when things aren't functioning optimally.

While there are certainly other courses and resources that have influenced my practice, these books and courses serve as the bedrock foundation that I consistently return to for guidance and knowledge.
