WHAT WE OFFER
Continuing Education That Inspires and Changes Practice
You have to get CEU’s, you might as well find something that is fun, reliable and guaranteed to satisfy and improve your delivery of care.
Advanced Evaluation and Treatment of the Shoulder
Get up to date information on the greatest challenges when caring for patients with shoulder pain, differential diagnosis and the best methods for treating tendinopathies.
Treatment Pearls for Neck and Shoulder Pain
Neck pain and Shoulder pain seem to love to come together. Learn strategies on how to differentiate one from another OR combine treatment to effectively treat both at the same time.
Indications and Application of Thrust Manipulation to the Lumbar Spine
This highly hands on course focuses on not only the correct way to gently manipulate the lumbar spine, but most importantly the WHEN and WHY to manipulate a patient. Focus will be on mastering a limited number of techniques.
Advanced Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Lumbopelvic Pain
This course highlights an easy to use, evidence guided algorithm that assists clinicians in the different diagnosis process. Also, the pelvis and SIJ will be simplified so that any clinician can feel confident in assessing and treating this region.
Fast Track to Expert: Improving Clinical Reasoning
The one thing that seems to separate true experts, the best in our field is their clinical reasoning process. It matters less about how many tricks, tools, or gadgets and more about when to use those tool. This course focuses on how to improve diagnostic accuracy so patients receive faster results. There will be strategies that anyone can use to make the most difficult patients straight forward.
Confidence with Direct Access: Critical Medical Screening Tools
Regular direct access is present for many of us, or the future of our practice for those yet to see patients directly. Having the skills, tools and knowledge to identify when patients could benefit from a medical referral will only enhance our practice and profession, but also lessen risks of litigation.
Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what they say:
“Tier One Education did a great job with our continuing education course this past summer. The seminar was high quality and provided current evidence in a relaxed environment that gave us plenty of time to practice our newly acquired manual therapy skills. We had a great experience and would like to bring them back again in the future”

Tier One Education has helped elevated my clinical practice exponentially. Dr. Toal is an expert clinician who not only presents evidenced based material, but provides information in a way that is easily understood applicable to all patient populations (acute to chronic pain). Dr. Toal and his approach to treatment and management of the spine leaves you with techniques and clinical reasoning that can be used in the clinic the next day. As a cash based provider, I needed to set myself apart from other clinicians by providing accelerated patient outcomes and treating in a direct access only environment. Tier One Education has helped me achieve that status in the management of spinal conditions. I would highly recommend Tier One Education for continuing education!

Dr. Philip Toal is an excellent educator and clinician. He was able to condense a considerable amount of material and make it clinically applicable. He was able to educate on overall efficiency with regards to specific testing and treatments which can be implemented into clinical practice immediately. He makes the participants at ease and feel comfortable with learning the techniques. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to both beginner as well as expert clinicians.
