Although I took this course in the past, this “refresher” was extremely helpful to validate that what I was doing was correct, as well as give me pointers on what I could do to improve my technique. She is very knowledgeable, easy to approach, and is truly interested in your leaning.” “Excellent course!” “Excellent instructor. Made the material very exciting and interesting.” Holyoke, Massachusetts, November 2008 “Outstanding – wanted to know the science behind use of Elastic Sports Tape. Fabulous integration of all material as relates to lymphedema. Anyone can be taught how to tape. A clinician needs to know why, where & what purpose. Great sense of humor!” “I liked how Ruth teaches to individualize the treatments and assess the patient thoroughly. Her handouts had great pictures, she is very dynamic and obviously loves what she does. I appreciated the background on the history of the taping & the importance of applying the right tension. I really learned a lot!” “One of the best courses I have attended!” Indianapolis, Indiana 2006 “As always – the Klose Training courses are exceptional. I know I can always expect the best when coming to Guenter’s continuing education courses. Thanks for the new information!” “Ms. Coopee was very knowledgeable in many subjects and related her information injecting humor and extensive experience in a very positive way.” Red Bank, New Jersey 2006
