Just wanted to let all you TMR 2 participants thinking about taking TMR 3 that it's well worth the trip down to Raleigh. If you think that you know all that there is to know about TMR you will be pleasantly surprised by the new twists and turns Tom has waiting for you. I definitely thought I had TMR down pat at this point, having already retaken TMR 1 & 2. The new material in TMR 3 has helped me to be even more effective applying TMR. I just wanted to say thanks to Tom for putting together a great course and to all the other therapists in attendance this past weekend who made it such a memorable experience.

me too....great stuff, how nice to know that when whatever i know about tmr seems to 'stop working'-there is always many other ways to work it, i really appreciate the permission to continue to challenge the concept and application of it.......and it seems like all kinds of good looking intelligent people were there :D jen; ps already messed around with quadrant testing on several pts and finally helped this lady get her frozen shoulder unfrozen-whew, it was really starting to bug both of us until the other day, thanks again tom, jen

Like Jeremy I thought I had it down pat. Since doing the webinar and taking TMR3 I've really learned how to refine my skills. It has also given me a greater understanding to explain how and why it is working so well.
Taking TMR3 also gave me a better understanding of more effective ways to support a child during trunk twists and side bends to meet the individuals particular needs. One child was supported under the arms and really did much better with a modified hand placement. She would look better with the tortcollis almost corrected, but then plateau when tired or sick. Today her tilt was totally gone at the end of the first session adapting my position for her specific limitation.
Another child w/ CP had gone from difficulty standing to learning to take independent steps since beginning TMR a few months back. With the quadrant testing we were able to modify her leg lift and she went from standing in a crouch with one shoulder lower to standing erect at the end of the session! Thanks to Tom and all wonderful participants.
It was well worth the course!

TMR 3 definately advances your skills. The psychosocial aspect of our profession is not usually addressed in other courses, even in the most popular named manual courses. This is an added bonus for therapist to refine not only TMR skills but also your total interaction with others as well. This "forgotten" part of your therapy session has as much to do with your success with a patient as your actual 'manual skills". What insight!!! Lets go get'em guys!!!!
