What Attendees Are Saying About GLS CEU Courses!






Emma SmithMarch 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The information that I learned was insightful and made me put more thought into why we prescribe specific exercises. I have already started using some of the exercises and techniques I learned with my patients. Thank you! Ari SoferMarch 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I believe the GLS seminars are a cut above because of the intensive lab component. Clinicians are provided with a considerable amount of lab time to practice and refine the techniques taught in the courses. Moreover, all the instructors truly care about the students and want to ensure they become better clinicians and can apply what they have learned on Monday when they return to the clinic. I highly recommend GLS seminars to new and seasoned clinicians looking to improve their manual therapy skills and comprehensive understanding of the human body. Eric GoodeFebruary 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent practical course for immediate application!!! Connie DarrowJanuary 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent course! Would highly recommend. Taught systematic assessment and treatment. Dora ChikJanuary 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have taken a few courses from Great Lakes Seminars. Their courses are very informative and helpful for anyone to apply the course knowledge on the next day to real patients treatment! Jenny ManzJanuary 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my first Great Lakes course this past weekend and it was great. The instructor Steven was very thorough and knowledgeable. He taught us many techniques that will be valuable to use in the clinic. I feel much more confident treating patients with hip pain now! RaeAnn VermeerJanuary 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been attending GLS courses since 2008 or 2009. I did the CIMT track so have taken the majority of them and they all have been so beneficial. Love the part lecture and mostly lab schedule they use and the booklets that have everything right there for you to look back on. Instructors are personable and knowledgeable and help you learn the techniques so you feel comfortable using the things you learned the next time you're in clinic. Kelly SpenceJanuary 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best PT courses out there. All the instructors are great and you are lucky if you get to learn from Patrick Hoban directly. Jeanne MillerJanuary 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Lakes Seminars does an outstanding job of linking clinical technique to patient response through MET. Syllabuses are clearly organized to serve as a frequently used resource. Eryn AstonJanuary 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first Seminar with Great Lakes. The instructor was SUPER knowledgeable and the class was full of such helpful information. I'm looking forward to taking more seminars from Great Lakes in the future.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
