Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in my course fee?
Included items and length of access to view the webinars vary by course, but all include access to instructional videos, as well as a PDF download of the presentation used in the class. Some courses come with maps of the body.
Do you give CEUs?
Yes! We are not preapproved for CEUs. However, students will receive CEUs for most courses that can be submitted to their respective boards for approval. Most states in the U.S. allow this. Please contact us for the packet to submit after taking the course.
What condition or injuries does this work on?
Dr. Whelton has mapped clinical patterns he refers to as "off switches," which are areas that may influence pain in other regions of the body. These patterns are used as part of a systematic myofascial approach to help guide clinical decision-making.
What percentage of patients do the myofascial courses work on?
This approach is designed to support many musculoskeletal conditions, including sciatica and cervical radiculopathy. Dr. Whelton has identified potential ‘off switches’ that may help modulate pain in various areas of the body.
How long does the pain relief last?
The effects of this treatment can vary from patient to patient based on their condition, medical history, and clinical setting. Some clinicians have observed that patients may respond quickly — sometimes even during the first session — while others may require additional visits to see meaningful change
