All trimester students are welcome to these hands-on workshops. No previous experience is required. These meetings afford students an opportunity to practice these and more advanced AK skills with the help of club officers and experienced club members. Learn to evaluate muscle function with scientific precision and to use muscle responses as functional neurological feedback.
