I recently completed my PPS-I training in Wexford, PA. The PPS-I training was exceptional and has made me a better instructor across disciplines. I have found the MVe® to be a very accessible piece of equipment that has helped me to even out my imbalances. My one leg in particular has less pain and more strength. I am excited to start teaching these classes on a regular basis. Thank you for your part in maintaining such high educational standards.
