This course is especially ideal for:
- Newly licensed therapists looking to expand their skill set.

Who this Course is Not For
While this course covers the fundamentals of self-soft tissue mobilizations and PNF stretching, it is not intended for experienced practitioners who already have a strong background in these areas. If you're well-versed in advanced PNF techniques and have extensive knowledge of self-care strategies for clients, this course may not offer new insights for your practice.
