patients say ‘incredible’ and ‘miracle’

“I have used the Primal Reflex Release Technique™ for over a decade as I was in John’s first-ever seminar. I’ve become so accustomed to hearing patients say ‘incredible’ and ‘miracle’ when using PRRT; I’ve even begun expanding its use to neurological cases, too, with equally great results.”

Irene Oliver, P.T., La Mesa, CA

amazed and…only scratched the surface

“I love the PRRT techniques!! I am already amazed and I know I’ve only scratched the surface.

Penny Clark, P.T., Bedford, IN

truly a miracle

“Thank you for all the knowledge and for taking care of my Lateral Pterygoid at the Seminar John! It hasn’t bothered me since! Again, I can never thank you enough for what you all have found and shared with us, it’s truly a miracle!”

Polly Taylor, P.T., Fairfax, VA

“a whole new realm of effective treatment”

“PRRT has opened a whole new realm of effective treatment to offer my patients. Also, it has exposed me to a vast amount of information that has greatly benefited me both personally and professionally.”

Vicki White Carpenter, P.T., private practice, Denver, CO

great results

“I use PRRT on all my patients with GREAT results.”

Chris Denham, P.T., Greeley, CO

radically reduce[s] pain and improve[s] function

“PRRT has been a breath of fresh air in my practice. I have been successful in treating with neuromuscloskeletal pathology for 20 years. You always know in the back of your mind that there must be a way that either improves the speed of “healing” and/or resolution of symptoms, or there must be some other means of providing pain relief to people who do not respond to other techniques or modalities. Well, PRRT is that way. Based on science, John Iams has put together an evaluation and treatment approach to radically reduce pain and improve function.”

Larry Steinbeck, P.T., private practice, Kennesaw, GA

“my practice has grown”

“Since attending John Iams’ first seminar my practice has grown. What is better is that I’ve opened my eyes to what is healthy for myself (physically, nutritionally, emotionally & spiritually). It has really helped me get on track.”

Victor Romero, P.T., private practice, Paso Robles, CA

gratitude from very satisfied patients

“Having been in the field for over 189 years, until I stumbled on to PRRT, I had no idea about the intimate correlation between the inner world and the outer world – our mental and physical as in theses techniques. I can say that all these years it was a hit and miss at getting patients better without any real predictability.  Now that I am armed with PRRT and John’s innovative approach to nutrition, based on the tearful thanks and gratitude from very satisfied patients with long-standing pain histories, I feel I make a difference in the their well being. I am ever grateful to John!”

Dhaval Buch, P.T., private practice, Bakersfield, CA

given me…confidence and skill

“I walked into a meeting with two physiatrists, one neurologist, and one nurse practitioner and I said, ‘Who has pain right now?’ PRRT has given me the confidence (and skill) to do that. (BTW: Her pain rate went from 5/200 to zero in 7 minutes!)”

Oren Bar, P.T., Lafayette, LA, private cash practice specializing in chronic pain

faster patient outcomes

“I can say with confidence that this new approach is a worthy tool in any manual therapist belt. In fact, it is probably the most important because of its ability to “unlock” the neural control of pain allowing for the permanency that often lacks with other current manual therapy techniques. I KNOW adding this to my “bag of tricks” has been a turning point in achieving faster patient outcomes, and the reverberating sound of ‘That’s amazing’ in my clinic.”

Tim Zeplack, P.T., O.C.S., C.S.C.S., Chicago, IL

using…for over a decade

Keith Owen, P.T., private practice, Rockville, M.D.

skeptical about new techniques

“Having been a PT for 28 years. I have become skeptical about new techniques… I bought the Home Study Course to see if I could duplicate the impressive results and found [them to be] very clear and easy to follow and I was able to duplicate his techniques easily. The impressive part is that I have gotten the same excellent results with my patients in just 2-3 visits…changing the direction of my private practice and improving my ability to compete in the market place”

Dan Gullotta P.T., M.A., C.Y.T.,private practice, Polson, MT

two years now and…no pain

“John demonstrated how to assess for neural influences protective reflexes can have, taking only a few minutes and giving instant results. Immediately I started utilizing the Primal Reflex Release Techniques™. For example I was visiting my accountant and one of her employees was experiencing constant LBP for the past six months and nothing has helped her…. I performed John’s technique for the illipsoas. I then retested her flexion standing, and she was pain free. Palpation of both illopsoas was virtually resolved and much looser. It has been two years now and she still has no pain.”

Eric Rohozinski, P.T., Wailuku, HI (private practice)

fast [and] they last

“The techniques are fast, they last and they are physically easy to perform. My patients can’t believe how fast! I use them in conjunction with other manual techniques or by themselves…. These techniques will change the way you practice. They make practice fun and exciting.”

Rene Bates, MTC, M.S.P.T., CSCS, Bend, OR

getting the ‘wow’ response

“Thank you for sharing a portion of your infinite knowledge. I have been utilizing the PRRT Seminar in my clinic and have been getting the ‘wow’ response overall.”

Leah Terry, P.T.A. Bedford, IN

use it every day

“I really don’t know what I’d do without PRRT, I use it every day. I feel sorry for the poor buggers who don’t have the skill because there’s a big cloud of dust behind me and guess what they get to eat!!! Thanks again for sharing the gift.”

Jeff Swift, P.T., private practice, Great Falls, MT

“[tried] virtually every manual therapy”

“PRRT has become an integral part of my everyday treatments and for good reason.  Having practiced for nearly 4 decades and taken virtually every manual therapy approach out there, I’ve finally found what’s been missing in them….it’s how protective reflexes are influencing pain. For total knees I very rarely have difficulty with the stubborn knee flexion contracture by addressing the withdrawal reflex and quieting down the iliopsoas and hamstrings response to the post-surgical pain. Post-op plastic surgery patients that have emotional reactions to the early post-surgical appearance that is far different than they had fantasized. For the treatments of rotator cuff tears, neck and back patients it significantly reduces the length of stay in P.T.”

Tom Cole, P.T., Stuart, FL

tremendous difference

“Adding PRRT to my practice has made a tremendous difference in how quickly my patients return to pain free activity.”

Mark Grosel, P.T., Wauksha, WI

one of the best tools

“PRRT is one of the best tools to release acute or chronic muscle pain. If you have the opportunity you should learn the technique.”

Andrew Bloch, D.O.M., M.S.P.T., A.T.C., Miami Beach, FL

treating more patients

“Since I first began utilizing PRRT as part of my practice, I find my results much faster, patients more satisfied (often amazed), and am treating more patients than I ever did before. PRRT has changed my entire practice. I have come to expect at least 50% improvement within my first twenty minutes with a patient, something that would have taken weeks without PRRT. I have never found anything as revolutionary in my 25 years of practice.”

Dede Lewis, P.T., Salt Lake City, UT

indispensable

“PRRT has become an indispensable part of my practice.”

Mari Gish, P.T., Minato-ku, Tokyo

gentle on…patient and… therapist

“PRRT works to decrease pain and tension throughout the patient’s body. It consists of relatively simple but specific techniques that are gentle on the patient and the therapist. As a therapist I can assist my patients’ return to health without exhausting me”

Marty Krause, P.T., Greeley, CO

return to…function faster

“PRRT has changed both my personal and professional view of the human body, health, healing and wellness. My patients return to their previous level of function faster than before. It is a truly remarkable treatment technique and approach”

Amy Snyder, D.P.T., Milwaukee, WI

non-invasive/non-threatening technique

David Foo, P.T., L.A.C., Libertyville, IL

will…revolutionize… rehabilitation

“PRRT has and will continue to revolutionize the rehabilitation field. In over 25 years of practice, I have never felt so strongly about a technique or treatment philosophy. Management of restrictive pain patterns can be achieved in seconds.

Terry Woolery, P.T., Las Vegas, NV

never had so much success

“I have been practicing as a physical therapist for over 30 years, but never have I had so much success treating patients than for the past several years using PRRT techniques. It has re-energized my desire to see the chronic pain as well as the acute pain patients. I now look forward to the patients that have failed with other types of treatment and with other therapists. I will forever be thankful that I am having the opportunity to use PRRT and see the drastic results before I end my career as a therapist. It actually makes me wish I were just starting out again as a physical therapist, so I could have helped all of those patients that never responded to traditional physical therapy treatments. Thank you John Iams. I love my work and my patients.”

David Herrington, P.T., Jackson, MS

Chris Michels, M.S.P.T., Great Neck, NY

never gotten more out of…training

Gerad Robertson P.T., A.T.C., Parker, SD

Ibrahim Arowolo, P.T., Worth, IL

seeing more patients

“PRRT has allowed my patients to recover faster and return to the activities they enjoy. I am able to decrease their pain and increase their function so much faster than before. Rather than my faster results putting me out of business,  the word of mouth is spreading so I am seeing more patients and providing more relief than ever before.”

Patrick A. Crebbin, P.T., C.H.T., Klamath Falls, OR

already having significant success

“I am already having significant success with the PRRT in my practice. I was so excited to begin using these new techniques on my patients.  On my first day back I had a few “wow” moments with patients. Thank you for giving me another tool for my toolbox, and the ability to create a “niche” for my practice.”

Hilary Rendon, P.T., Starkville, MS

how did you do that?

I kept going back to the website and reading and eventually got the PRRT home course and I am loving it. I get a ‘How did you do that?’ everyday I use it.”

Rob Shapiro, M.A., P.T., C.O.M.T., Bethpage, NY

great results

Evan Chait, P.T., Allendale, NJ

patients travel..several hours

“I use PRRT with every pain-related patient that I see on the first visit. There is no treatment that I have used with better or faster results for pain related problems. My patients call it “my magic” and many times it works just that quickly. Patients travel from up to several hours each way to be treated with PRRT. Anyone that has experienced the results will never practice the same way again.”

Suzanne Seff, MBA, P.T., Baltimore, M.D.

Stan Brown, P.T., M.T., Springfield, MO

I have been searching for this missing piece for a long time.

I have been a PT for 30 years and have taken many, many continuing education courses. When I received your home study course I must admit I was a bit dubious but after applying the techniques I was blown away by the results.

My sister-in-law fell down the steps and sprained her foot and asked me to see her. After I completed the treatment to her foot she told me she also hurt her neck. I did the One-Minute Nocioceptive Exam and identified areas of involvement she didn’t know she had. I was in a bit of a hurry so I used the ‘eye flicking’ technique used on your video. She sat up with an amazed look on her face- most of her symptoms had been relieved. I saw her one more time and she has had no neck pain since. I learned later she has had chronic pain in the neck and thoracic areas but has been asymptomatic since I treated her using your reflex techniques.

I have been searching for this missing piece for a long time. Thank you so much for making this work available.

Timothy P. McHenry, P.T., C.L.T., Greensburg, PA

magic hands

Annette Klauck, P.T.A., Milwaukee, WI

After two PRRT sessions, 80% better

“I’ve taken the PRRT Seminar and I’ve already had amazing results. I have taken numerous other manual therapy paradigms (Maitland, Mulligan, Paris, Muscle Energy, Function Mobilization) and I’ve never seen a form of manual therapy that causes changes this quickly. I had a patient with fibromyalgia who had been seen for three months by two other PT’s in our practice with no change in her symptoms. After just two PRRT sessions she reported she was 80% better. I am not sure who was more astonished myself or the patient.”

Jeremy Baber, P.T., NY, NY
