HIGH QUALITY PHYSICAL THERAPY CONTINUING EDUCATION

About us

ABOUT US

Bookhout Seminars is a physical therapy continuing education group that specializes in instructing physical therapists in advanced evaluative techniques and manual interventions. Mark Bookhout, PT, MS, CFMM developed this material over 35 years of clinical experience with influences from Stanley Paris, Michigan State School of Osteopathic Medicine, The Barral Institute, Janda, Feldendrais and countless other experts. Mr. Bookhout has an exceptional skill of integrating competing approaches into a single cohesive evaluative and treatment approach. 

Mr. Bookhout has been involving Galen Wetzell and Kyle Cook into his instruction over the last several years and has now stepped away from teaching. He is still heavily involved with content development but has passed on teaching responsibilities to Galen and Kyle.

Bookhout Seminars will travel to your clinic to present a 2 or 3 day course. We have a number of courses ready to be presented but can also customize a course to fit your needs. Please contact bookhoutseminars@gmail.com for more information.
