I had a great weekend attending the FAKTR-PM course by Dr. Gregory Doerr and Andre Labbe at FITS. I got to see several colleges that I haven't seen in a while, and I met some great health care practitioners from around Toronto and abroad. The presenters were amazing providing a fantastic approach to treat musculoskeletal injuries. I applaud them for the tremendous approach, their willingness to share, and the work around the world to educate health care professionals. Great job!! I can't recommend this course highly enough.

COURSE DESCRIPTION FAKTR-PM was developed to help speed recovery from acute and chronic musculskeletal pain syndromes.
