Hey guys! My name is Scott Dreben. I’m a physical therapist and owner of Touch of Life Physical Therapy. As you can see by my hair, I just got out of a class and that’s why I’m making this little video (shown below). I’ve been a physical therapist for 17 years and I’ve been using counterstrain for about 15 years now. I’ve taken every classic counterstrain class and I’ve taken all the fascial counterstrain courses as well and I gotta tell you that I’ve just had my first experience with the counterstrain academy that Tim runs and it’s been absolutely amazing.
This is our first weekend, our first two days and I’m already blown away. It’s far exceeded my expectations. I thought I was doing everything correctly, I mean that I’ve learned so far and what I found out today is I had a decent understanding of what I was doing but I didn’t really ‘get it’. I didn’t really get the techniques, and I really didn’t understand this treatment paradigm conceptually as well as I do now. It has blown me away and I can’t say enough about it.
Having this experience is undeniably one of the best experiences you can have as a manual therapist. The student to teacher ratio is perfect. Tim gets to answer every question I have and everybody else’s questions. He makes sure we know the techniques. His enthusiasm for the work is incredible and his desire to teach this information, to really make sure you have a solid understanding of it is just unbelievable. Not only does he make sure that our treatment techniques are good on each other but he even let me practice one of my techniques on him so that he could give me direct feedback as to whether or not I was engaging the structure that I was trying to get.
This first weekend we worked primarily on dura and the changes we made on each other just doing this dural work were phenomenal. Way better than any result that I’ve gotten so far using the dural work that I’ve already learned taking the [Jones Institute] neural class on my patients. I can’t wait to use this new information and the fine tuning of these techniques to make the incredible changes that I know that I am going to be able to make and that others who have taken the class with us this weekend are going to be able to make for their patients. I’m super excited. I can’t wait to take all of the modules. I want Tim here for every one of them. And I am going to do my best to make sure that I get him down to my office for each and every one.
So if you’ve had any doubt at all of doing this Mastery Program, don’t! It is going to take your skills to a whole other level. And I’m excited. Thanks.
