I have been using the techniques with my client dogs, especially Maddie, the dog with degenerative polyneuropathy. Maddie has seen remarkable improvement. After implementing these techniques, she is now able to walk up hills in her yard and play with their other dog. She has even been able to play ball with her dad!  Maddie has more stability in the rear than she has ever had, and her quality of life has greatly improved.

I have been working with geriatric clients for some time, and while there are many benefits from the modalities that I use, I was not always satisfied with the results when it came to neurological symptoms. I enrolled in 'The Art & Science of Nerves' taught by Lisa Ruthig and it opened up a whole new field of possibilities to enhance my work and make a difference for my clients. Her course is in-depth, regarding both science and its practical application. She also provided a tremendous amount of helpful information regarding materials and client information to use in the future. I have already seen the difference I can make by using the techniques I learned and highly recommend the course. I love that that the knowledge I gained can be incorporated in what I already practice and will therefore enhance my work. 

Before ASN as a canine PT I was pretty confident in my skills to help neurological clients, but my confidence has improved even more with knowledge and skills gained during this course. Lisa makes complicated topics easy to understand. The coaching calls and forum give you plenty of opportunity to ask questions and not only learn from Lisa, but also from others in the course. I have already seen accelerated progress using the techniques covered in this course! This course would be great for anyone working in animal rehab or body work who wants to enhance their manual skills to assist dogs with conditions affecting the nerves or those with mobility issues. 

I had a couple of clients with Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) in the past, and there were minimal massage techniques I could offer. This course taught me nerve techniques that I can apply to my future cases. Lisa is an excellent instructor and very responsive. Lisa breaks down complex scientific concepts into understandable pieces. The class was fun, and I highly recommend it. Thank you, Lisa! 

Prior to participating in the Art & Science of Nerves, I felt inadequate in both my knowledge of nerves and my ability to directly support my massage clients who were presenting with nerve issues. Lisa makes the science piece accessible, through her clear and thorough information and visuals. Her videos working with the animals were also 'real life' and she was able to demonstrate on animals that were wiggly, and discussed modifications as needed. I appreciate this wonderful opportunity! 

I really loved this class and am so glad I took it! Lisa is a fantastic teacher who really understands, and is able to teach, a variety of information about the nervous system and individual nerves. The class was extremely comprehensive, and Lisa was always available for questions and help. This class gave me a new understanding of how to work with some specific nerves, and how this work may positively effect certain kinds of issues. Having more information about how to work with nerves is a new tool and skill I am excited to incorporate into my practice. The clients I have talked to about this class are just as excited for me to try my new skills with their dogs. It's a win-win! I highly recommend this class!

I signed up for this course because I wanted to have a deeper understanding of the nervous system and how I can help my own clients gain mobility and function better without pain. The graphics were excellent and the material was well-researched and presented in a way that I could understand and apply what I had learned. I love Lisa's teaching style and I appreciated learning through the input of other classmates. I highly recommend this course for animal practitioners, therapists and bodywork professionals. 

The course not only gave me more tools to work with dogs with challenging neurological issues, but it also gave me insight and confidence to work with nerves. The course was very well done and I could go at my own pace to grasp the techniques and material. The bonuses were great and overall, I got a lot out of ASN. 

Before taking this course, I was working with a dog that had lameness issues. She saw me every other week in combination with chiropractic care. She seemed to plateau and remained unable to enjoy activities as she once had. She was the first dog I worked with using the nerve techniques and it worked wonders. The owners called later that day to report amazing results. Their dog was walking on all 4 legs without any issues and is back to running and playing with other dogs. I'm so glad I took this course! 

The Art & Science of Nerves course was a real eye opener for me! I've had clients as well as my own dogs that have suffered with some form of neurological conditions that I felt massage could only help very temporarily and if given more frequently and sometimes massage felt superficial to the overall care plan. With the new techniques (and there are many) I learned in this course I feel so much more confident in helping these clients be their best selves given the afflictions they may have. Lisa did an incredible job providing background for several common nerve pathologies and their symptoms while teaching effective techniques for working on these conditions in your clients. There is plenty of bonus content as well. I am really excited to take these new tools and add them to my sessions! 

Working with neurological cases can at times feel confusing as there are many symptoms and so many possible causes. Taking this course helped me take a step back and put on a 'scientist hat': try this then record the result, observe, experiment, record. I found this extremely helpful in planning out my future sessions. I have incorporated the techniques learnt and I am already seeing results! Very highly recommended. 

The wonderful content that built upon itself was incredibly helpful and I will apply it as I encounter animals who could benefit from it (although, there is a ton that would benefit all of my clients). This course also taught me, once again, that less can be more. The nervous system (and tissues) can be activated simply by touch, which can activate a marvelous set of benefits to the animal. Energy matters :-)
