"You know Dr. E, when I started my first job as a therapist, I took whatever job I could get for the rate I wanted. And despite all of my valuable knowledge, It was impressed upon me that massage increased patient compliance and was a must. My second job stressed the same value. And all of a sudden I allowed the quality of my massage to be the measure of my quality as a therapist. By massaging literally everyone I treated, I learned about different tissue quality and I became quite good but I also learned how to fall asleep on the couch every night as a newly wed.

I quit my job and searched for a place where I could forge my own path and began to revisit the foundations and try to figure out more efficient ways of treating. Then I interviewed with a mentee of yours, and while I didn’t get the job, I heard about you. And here I am, two years later, starting to get people better with a lot less work. I can’t tell you how much your courses mean to me.

I am slowly bringing your teaching into my clinic to impact my colleagues and my patients to better help people with real sustainable manual approaches with an education emphasis encouraging patient independence and accountability. For female therapists, I think that your courses are even more important. I’ve hear many bosses throw out judgements based on a woman’s “might” and or “size” and “strength.” The basis of your Eclectic Approach is that we can actually create manual techniques that work best for our self and the patient and don’t have to prescribe to any particular way! As long as it works and we help and guide the patient to where they want to be."

"So far my last 5 treatments since finishing the mentorship have been extremely effective . I have modified my strokes, changed techniques and assessments to be more effective, and recognized Clinical Practice Patterns. No kidding after just learning from your series every treatment feels a bit more effective."

“I was privileged to have met Erson Religioso on a skype telehealth call sometime around 2014. Erson graciously agreed to treat one of my most complex lumbar spine cases, and was successful in abolishing his pain in minutes when I had failed to help him over four weeks time. I was even luckier when, Erson offered his time to mentor me through the next 2 years as he assisted me in clinically reasoning through very difficult cases, proving to me that with his eclectic approach, most cases could rapidly respond in only 1 -2 Skype sessions. Mentoring and Modern Manual Therapy Premium is truly the source of wisdom for best practices in clinical reasoning, and a collection of timeless principles that Erson taught me over the years. I cannot recommend this resource enough to any aspiring manual therapist or manual therapy veteran. The blogs and videos alone are probably worth thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars, and will cut years off of your OMPT training and personal development."
