Whitfield Reeves is, in my opinion, the one of the best teachers I have ever had in my 30 years of practicing!
Jade E. - United States
Extremely relevant information, well based on a lot of clinical experience, explained cogently with great supporting illustrations.
Dan L. - United States
A great presentation on a common ailment that is difficult to treat if you rely on primary meridian points.

Excellent course, lots of useful and immediately applicable information!
Conrad C. - Canada
Whitfield Reaves is a great presenter and has a wealth of knowledge to share and explains in a way that is easy to understand and visualise.
Kingsley A. - Australia
As a bodyworker, the techniques in these videos are extremely easy for me to understand and immediately integrate in to my practice.
Andrea E. - United States
This was a comprehensive look at the increasingly common clinical presentation of greater trochanteric bursitis. Whitfield Reaves' modern perspective on what appears to be a symptom of modern inactivity adds to our understanding of orthopedic acupuncture.
Anthony M. - Canada
It's a pleasure to hear a teacher who is not only highly experienced and knowledgeable, but a highly skilled presenter as well.
Just prior to listening to Dr. Reaves webinar, I had taken another online CE course. The other course was chaotically presented, which detracted from some good content. Thanks, I needed to see something done the way it should be!
