I am a doctor of physical therapy practicing for the past 11 years. I’ve worked with techniques and technology to support neurological improvements in the home health environment including a published pilot study. As an experienced provider I am fascinated and can say “amazed” at the implications on so many levels by pericardial, thoracic cage based manual therapy. This course is taught with attention to physiological, neurological and anatomical detail and correlated to more than adequate hands on practice. I came away equipped to immediately see profound results in every patient I treated following the course. This is absolutely a course to invest in.

I have taken several continuing education courses in the last year + (Cranial 1, Heart/Thoracic 1, and Abdominal 1), and each course has greatly expanded my skillset and helped me help more patients. This coursework has helped me manage a myriad of physical deficits such as low back pain, nerve pain, headaches, numbness and tingling, help with mental/emotional challenges such as anxiety and brain fog, and helped with some digestion issues. I have been able to help several people in the last year decrease lifelong pain that no other therapist has been able to improve. The classes are very hands on with good faculty to student ratios for lots of feedback. The skillset is very different than any other physical therapy approach I've studied, and it is challenging at times, but has been worth every minute I have spent. This coursework not only gave me some new tools , I think it gave me a whole new toolbox.

I took the Abdominal Mobilization I class with Tim and got a lot out of the class even as a recent massage school graduate. I feel way more confident with my palpation and anatomical knowledge and landmarks in the abdomen. Tim is very knowledgeable yet humble and patient. You can tell he loves to teach and freely shares his knowledge and experience. He keeps the class on time and we even went out to lunch together as a class where we got to pick his brain even further. I'm looking forward to taking more classes in the future and even coming in as a patient for further treatment

I recently completed my third course offered by Fulcrum Institute, and I cannot recommend them enough. The instructor, Tim Bonack, is incredibly knowledgeable PT and DOMP, and I left each day of training feeling confident and empowered to apply the techniques in my clinical practice as an occupational therapist. One of the most significant benefits of these courses is that there is no guesswork involved in how to start treating patients. Tim provides clear and easy-to-follow protocols for each technique, which allowed me to begin using them immediately in my practice. The techniques themselves are also incredibly effective, and I noticed significant improvements in my patients with the addition of only a few techniques. Manuals are given in an easy format with pictures and you have access to evidence and case studies that enhance your knowledge and clinical reasoning. I highly recommend all courses offered by Tim to any healthcare professional looking to improve their skills and provide more effective treatment for their patients. The knowledge and expertise gained in these courses are invaluable, and I cannot imagine practicing without them.

Tim took my skills to such advanced levels. I am a massage therapist specialized in injury recovery and I studied with Tim for many years. His classes are hands on, anatomically based with lots of feedback and positive encouragement and his talents as a healer are phenomenal.

Best classes I have ever taken. This will transform your clients bodies and your practice. Tim Bonack is an amazing instructor. He teaches both anatomy based and hands-on sensory based instruction.

Wonderful classes that will provide valuable information to help improve your quality of care with your clients/patients. Tim is an excellent instructor and I cannot recommend enough to those who are in physical therapy/massage therapy/occupational therapy etc. taking some of these courses.
