" Breaking the rigid molds of 'accepted knowledge base' as taught in school or acquired through lazy practice."
- Mark Labrentz, PT, CHT, 11 - 15 years experience, Mobilization Splinting Retreat participant
"Challenging and invaluable. I would say not to expect to learn everything; that the course could be taken every year for many years to grasp and learn to apply all info. And that is a great way to become a more competent therapist learning the 'why' in treatment. Course is wonderful and challenging and I plan to take it again to gain more knowledge."
- Elizabeth Escarzega, OT, 1 - 5 years experience, Anatomical & Biomechanical Basis of Hand Therapy participant

"I just wanted to tell you that I PASSED THE CHT EXAM!!!!! :) I know that one of the reasons I passed is because of the excellent course you taught; I learned so much from it. I'm serious - several of the questions on the exam came right from your course! I was saying to myself, 'Thank you Judy!' during the exam because I knew many answers from the HandLab course. Thank you for your commitment to hand therapy - some day I hope to do research also and be like you!"
- Ali Thompson, OT, CHT, 1 - 5 years experience, Anatomical & Biomechanical Basis of Hand Therapy participant
