VM1 Boot Camp for Your Hands with Brandi Kirk, PT, CVTP

(VM1BC-1, VM1BC-2, VM1BC-3) Students will be repeating standing position, hand position, loading techniques and retesting techniques. Each technique has been broken down into multiple parts and each part will be practiced until your hands have memorized the feel of that movement. Students will have extensive one-on-one mentoring by the teacher with the focus on the students’ hands with the VM1 techniques - each of the 3 Boot Camps focuses on specific organs covered in VM1.

Testimonials from Boot Camp

"Nothing compares (to this boot camp) - this is like semi-private tutoring."

"The two days was well worth the 8 hour 1 way trip! I feel much more confident."

"VMBC is an excellent opportunity to retrain the hands and brains of practitioners who started in other hands-on professions. My sense of touch has grown exponentially given taking VM1 and I was surprised (& pleased) that it has grown after 2 days of VM Boot Camp. Bravo!"

"VM bootcamp helped me be able to find restrictions in the specific areas. I tend to second guess myself with what I am feeling but realizing and learning to not question myself and my findings and built my confidence."

"A must take class for every visceral therapist. A great opportunity to improve confidence in palpation and technique."
