Bright IDEAs | Waslaski Wednesday: The Forever Student

Published: March 25, 2015

James Waslaski can't stress enough the value of continuing education. Be on the lookout for more of our Bright IDEAs blog series as we provide insight and insider information on our IDEA 2015 Conference educators right up to May 1!

Q Why is continuing education so important?

A. There is so much research happening. The World Fascial Congress is just one example and I will be in attendance this year. The information therapists learned just a few years ago is becoming outdated. The time has come where specializing in just one modality severely limits the results of your practice.

Sounds like he's a forever student and encourages all manual therapists to be the same. Your clients will thank you for it.
