Dr. Hollis Herman

Physiotherapist, USA

Co-Founder, Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute

Course: Biopsychosocial Reframed

I wanted to say thank you for your incredible course. Your knowledge and insights have radically changed my thinking for the better. The foundation you provided was thorough, applicable, and timely to say the least. You are a wonderful teacher. The online format was a first for me and I loved it.  Using the questionnaires as assessment tools is a brilliant and sensible way to address the sensitive nervous system.

Curtin University, Body Logic Physiotherapy

Course: Biopsychosocial Reframed

Carolyn is a wonderful presenter and this course has positively changed the way I practice. She shared a wealth of knowledge and presented evidenced based information on a truly biopsychosocial approach. I felt the course has given me a sound framework to assess psychological distress and has allowed me to take a psychologically informed approach to assessment and management of my clients in the clinic.

Dr. Patricia Neumann

Physiotherapist, PhD, Australia

Specialist Physiotherapist in Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health

Course: Biopsychosocial Reframed

I have found the SAD CLLIFSS distress measures really useful especially for those who come after years of treatment elsewhere . . . The best bit is then being able to clearly identify strategies that they need and then understand why to use these psychologically-informed treatment strategies. I have become much more targeted with my assessment. It has been a big step up in my clinical care so thank you - and I have the feeling that I am only just scratching the surface.

Athlete’s Care Sports Medicine Center

Course: Exercise Reframed: Exercises for a Sensitive Nervous System

Since taking this course, the way that I approach my assessment and treatment planning has drastically changed. I have gained a stronger appreciation and understanding of the pain system and the importance of addressing sensorimotor changes by measuring them first.

For Health’s Sake

Course: Exercise Reframed: Exercises for a Sensitive Nervous System

I incorporated all of the SAD CLLIFSS questionnaires into my practice immediately after completing the course ... The Innovative Exercises for the Sensitive Nervous System course tied all of these concepts together for me!  In this course, Carolyn helps clarify the “Why” behind the “What” even further and helps you contextualize a framework for your clinical practice.

Jodi Forster-Molstad

Physiotherapist, Canada

Pelvic Plus Physio

Course: Exercise Reframed: Exercises for a Sensitive Nervous System

This course teaches you how to develop a patient profile, and to be specific in targeting their nervous system's unique response to distress through specific, guided exercise. I come away in awe of the magnitude of the resources I have been given with which to work, the depth of the research behind her approach, and her ability to translate this into useful physiotherapy interventions.
