I can directly use this in my clinic with every patient.

Presenter’s depth of knowledge, case presentations & organized presentation were an effective combination for learning. In addition to his knowledge and preparation, he has a friendly sense of humor.

Many new ideas or “tweaks” of old or established methods! One of the best courses I’ve ever attended. Info was very well presented with great analogies, case studies. Michael sounds brilliant while at the same time presented in an easy to understand way.

Just enough information with demos to keep the audience engaged. Michael is extremely knowledgeable, brings relevant information to use in all settings of therapy.

Mike used every minute to teach, no wasted time talking about participants, no wasted break time, just non-stop excellent information.

The deloading strategy is monumental for me. Now I have a way to get a patient in WB without having to try to do the lifting myself. The fact that I could sit and listen through the entire class (and actually remain focused) says the instructor and info was exceptional!

I found the new/different technique to complete shoulder codman ideas beneficial – using a ball table. Also, using a timer and not reps for exercises I found as a good tip for the population I work with every day. Different equipment introduction to get the same results. I found the instructor to be extremely knowledgeable and a dynamic speaker. He held my attention the entire day and I am leaving with new ideas.

One of the best speakers/presenters/instructors I’ve seen in over 20 years experience!

Excellent presentation skills, demo of exercises. Well organized. Best instructor for a course like this that I have taken to date.

Exercise visuals/videos were helpful. The handout provided to us is great. Great lecture! I’ve learned so many exercises I could use in my practice today compared to all other summit seminars I attended combined.

Instructor is very knowledgeable and all of the exercises were explained superiorly well, that you can apply it immediately. Best continue ed so far!

Instructor was very personable, knowledgeable with great analogies. Awesome presenter – I didn’t want it to end!

One of the best courses I’ve attended. Very intelligent, engaging speaker. Thank you!

All the therapeutic exercises included in the course material were most beneficial. My best CEU live class ever! Comprehensive and very applicable therapeutic exercises. Very knowledgeable instructor. I’m looking forward to attending more live classes with Michael Stare as the instructor.

This is the best course and deliverance of material and application of any of the many courses I’ve taken with Summit over the past three years! Mike Stare gave a stellar presentation, obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic and a great motivator to continue to investigate.

One of the best presenters I’ve experienced in 33 years of practice! Awesome exercise ideas for specific injuries and post-operative rehab! I am a school-based OT and have not engaged in therapeutic exercise with older adults (professionally) in many years, however, this workshop was very informative and will be very valuable for personal exercise and assistance with family/friends.

Videos and case studies helped drive the point home! BEST senior exercise con ed course I have every taken! Great job!

The instructor was able to simplify concepts and educate on treatment options. Best workshop instructor that I have ever attended. Hopefully he will teach more classes.

Exercises were clearly explained and demonstrated. Information was supported by research and explained easily to use with patients. Best class I’ve taken! Content made interesting with real-life cases and anecdotal descriptions. Exercises were easily translated into my work environment. Thank you!

The entire subject matter and how it was presented was very beneficial. This was one of the best Summit courses I have been to, very pertinent information presented well. Very knowledgeable and good presenter.

I’m taking back to the clinic ideas for use the next day. Best course I’ve ever attended in 25 years of practice!

Evidence-based focus for therapy, modifications to meet level of pt/environment. Best Summit course yet. Well-researched and easy to implement exercises.

Fantastic class. Superb teacher! This course was outstanding I would take any course this instructor teaches!

Great course! Very relevant for geriatric population in all settings. Instructor was excellent! Probably the best course I have taken in a long time. This information is perfect in all settings.

The case study videos were very helpful and informative for reviewing the material we learned. Best seminar ever! I love how creative Mike is in his rehab exercise variation ideas

Would love to have more examples to diminish pain from PNS, CNS Looking forward to next seminar with Michael. Would love to have a seminar on exercise compliance. This would probably be approved better by MD for CEU. One of the best seminars I have been to in over five years. Lots of valuable information for not only my geriatric, but all of my orthopedic patients.

Great detailed practical information that can be used immediately in our setting. A really worthwhile course – dynamic, interacting, and valuable.

Love everything! Useful for my patients and most importantly for me! Mike is an excellent speaker. I can tell he is enjoying it and he is exerting his best effort.

Learning how to use weight machine and pully system for deloading to strengthen. I also found the explanation of pain helpful. Being able to use the deloading measurements for documentation for necessity and skilled need.

Mike is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and explains well and in a way to keep you engaged all day! I loved it! I didn’t yawn or drift off in space at any time lol! I enjoyed the class very much and will suggest it to my coworkers!

Relevance to my everyday job in ways I can implement with my patients. This instructor was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work. Makes it easy to listen and not lose attention. I would love more courses with this instructor. Very useful info.

This class was a perfect balance of evidence based research and practical treatment ideas.

This is the BEST course I’ve been to in a long time. I’d love to attend another course of Mike’s. I learned a lot of things that I plan to implement in both my professional AND personal life/workout.

Presenter was great! Enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. I can apply principles immediately.

This was exactly the class I have been looking for to give one more tool to use when working with the aging population.

Mike is a knowledgeable instructor able to convey the complex material in this course clearly. A+ instructor. Very useful info for the clinic!

He was one of the best, knowledgeable instructors that I ever listened to. He kept my attention throughout the course!

I took workshops with this instructor before. I always leave with new material I can apply to my PT practice

Mike has the very best of presenter skills in synthesizing a lot of complex material and reducing it to the most relevant points for your audience I enjoy listening to him and I learn a lot because he is sharing his own thoughts, reflections, research, and experience, not just parroting an “industry standard” approach or “best practices” within your field. This really is great stuff.

You taught the best course that I have taken for continuing ed. You held my attention the whole time!

Dr Stare has a vast amount of experience, which he shared with a good mix of stories, case studies, and research. Few experienced clinicians can explain difficult subjects as well as Michael.
