DEXTERITY PD COURSES

As one of the founders of Dexterity PD, Maria created one of our very first course titles, which has since been reviewed and updated. This course provides a detailed overview of the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral nervous system, which is a recommended introduction to the Manual Techniques – Compression Syndromes series.

Maria also collaborated with Dexterity PD to create an Aromatherapy Certificate Program, consisting of two courses. The first course provides a comprehensive overview of aromatherapy and details twenty commonly used essential oils. The second course teaches the manual therapist various ways of integrating essential oils into treatment and associated professional considerations.

Maria also collaborated with Dexterity PD to create a course designed to help manual therapists answer the many questions that they have when embarking upon their careers.
