Meet The Instructors
What makes Pro Form Instruction, LLC unique is that each of the instructors is a licensed, practicing doctor in the field of rehabilitative medicine. This translates to students receiving unmatched, high quality information from instructors who are working with the neuromusculoskeletal system on a daily basis. Clinical expertise in the field of musculoskeletal function and injury very much helps fitness professionals better understand the healthcare side of the fitness industry. The ability to learn from this approach is highly valuable as it is directly applicable to what is being done in gyms/fitness studios on a daily basis. Instead of learning information by rote memorization, Dr. Antico and Dr. Manison make certain that the knowledge learned is functional from the moment you leave the class!
