Lecture, Demonstration, Practice with your Lab Partner

  • Tim Hodges, LMT, JSCCI, CACI teaching at the 2020 Counterstrain Convention
  • Brian Tuckey, PT, OSC, JSCCI performing a demonstration on camera at the 2021 Counterstrain Convention

 

Each convention course will follow the following format:

  1. FCS Lecture
  2. FCS Demonstration
  3. Practice Session with your lab partner

 

Learning in a virtual format is most effective when you have an on-site lab partner.

Each practice session will take place in a Zoom breakout room with 20-30 attendees. Each Zoom breakout room will be hosted by 2 CSA Instructors or TAs to help answer your questions. You can move or prop up your webcam to view your practice area and to ask questions.

Practice Sessions can be done at your location with:

  1. A lab partner who is a paying member of the convention (*we highly suggest one lab partner who is also attending if possible).
  2. A practice patient/friend/relative (note that this can be difficult to schedule with fixed times as the lab practice sessions can change schedule).
  3. With other paying members of the convention in a group setting*

*All FCS practitioners viewing the course must be registered. You may use a friend or relative as a lab practice patient but all practitioners must be registered.
