On the weekend of October 12-13, 2018, the School of Naprapathy held its first refresher course in neck manipulation.
Nidal Awad, licensed naprapath and instructor at the School of Naprapathy, welcomed a group of eager naprapaths on Friday. The purpose of the course was to give practicing naprapaths an insight into how neck manipulation is currently taught at the School of Naprapathy.

The naprapaths traveled from all over Sweden, from Östersund in the north to Malmö in the south. There was also a wide range of experience among the participants. The most senior attendee graduated in 1979 and has been in the profession for 39 years, while one group member graduated as recently as 2015. There was a great spread of experience in between. We quickly realized that this was a positive, cheerful, and curious group of naprapaths!
By the first break, the group was unanimous: "We like Nidal as an instructor!" After the course, we conducted an evaluation, and here are some of the comments:
"Great overall concept" "Pedagogical structure, good pace" "Nidal is a very engaged and skilled lecturer and practitioner" "Concrete tips that can be applied immediately" "Lots of variety and alternative techniques, clear guidance" "Infectiously enthusiastic instructor who relates everything to everyday life and the real clinic"
When asked "How likely are you to recommend this course to a friend or colleague?" on a scale of 0-10, where 10 is "Very likely," twelve participants answered 10 and two participants answered 9.
When asked "What is your overall assessment of the course?" 13 participants gave the highest rating, "Very good." We interpret this as the group as a whole being very satisfied with the course structure, the instructor, and the arrangements in their entirety.

We at the School of Naprapathy thank you for your trust. We are delighted by your interest in today's naprapathic education and hope to see you again soon.
Good luck in your continued professional lives as naprapaths!
Thank you, Nidal, for a well-executed course.
