Physical Therapy CEU in Thailand: Phuket Course Gallery
“When you have fun the you’re more interested in learning”
When writing about Thailand, I think I must start at the end. Maya Bay. First of all, it what many would say, the most beautiful spot in the world. There was a moment on the beach where we sat away from the crowd in the shade and admired the scene. At first we marveled at the beauty, how lucky we were to find such a nice spot in the shade away from the beating sun. Then we noted how our Jetset Travel crew was having an amazing time. They seemed to be, like us, awed by the natural beauty, enjoying being out in the open, joking with each other, there wasn’t a care in the world. We were all having this experience due to Clare Frank, (an instructor worth traveling accross the globe for) and our company, Jetset. It made us proud that our students along with Clare, trusted us to travel accross the globe and take part in this experience. This moment was a small victory for the Jetset team but although small, something about it felt like it was the most memorable. It was the culmination of 7 years of traveling with Jetset. Our first courses started in class rooms, then progressed to a Vegas Saloon, then an open air roof top beach hut in Cabo, to finally a hill side class classroom in Phuket.
We saw the Lemoine family (our students who brought their whole family) writing in the sand. We walked over and saw they had written “Jetset Phuket 2022.” I was taken aback at this gesture. Seeing this in the sand confirmed that we were indeed a part of their Thailand journey! It was such a kind gesture.
We took some photos and soon enough the ocean washed the writing away. It was a metaphor for this trip. Soon our memories would fade much like the writing in the sand. We will be left with a few souvenirs, our photos, and videos but most importantly friendships. I attempted to compile a photo journal for all who joined us and all who hope to join us in the future. We are now using this momentum to plan more courses and I hope you will be a part of joining our family in creating new memories, new clinical skills, solidifying old friendships, making new friendships, and having new experiences.
Hope to see you then,
The Jetset Team

Portland Michael Shacklock Photo Journal - Upper Quarter Neurodynamics
Find out what it is like to take a class with Jetset Rehab Education.
by Randal Glaser
First off, we would like to thank all of the amazing Portland rehab specialists who made it to the Michael Shacklock Upper Quarter Neurodynamics continuing education course. We had a good mix of Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Athletic Trainers and other rehab specialists. We have had great respect for Michael Shacklock's book since our Physical Therapy school days and believe many who took the course share that same admiration. Not only did Michael exceed our expectations as an instructor, but he's a really good guy. We feel very lucky to have gotten to know him over beers and food.
The following are some photos we took that best capture the Jetset Rehab Education spirit and the way we organize a continuing education course. We are looking forward to build on the many friendships we made during our time in Portland.
The following photo diary is from the Upper Quarter class only. The Lower Quarter class photos will be shared next week. If you would like to request a specific image, please email us at JetsetRehabEd@gmail.com and we will reply with a raw copy of the selected photo(s).
Please note: later this month, all photos will be shared with students on a website and available to download to share on your blogs, websites, social properties and etc. At Jetset Rehab, we believe it's important to provide all assets that help our students' businesses thrive and succeed. Taking a continuing education course should allow for not only learning but networking. It is our hope that sharing videos and photos can assist with this.
If you haven't yet, please check out our Current Courses ! For feedback on the photo diary, please email jetsetrehabed@gmail.com or leave comments below.
5:30am Wake up and start to prep for the class. In an hour, we have to pick up Michael Shacklock and take him to Pacific University where it all begins.
We start the morning learning how tension on a contralateral nerve can take the tension off of a painful nerve. See the video below where Michael Shacklock (left) explains this concept.
Attentive students.
We are thankful to those who decided to attend the class. Nothing but positive energy.
Michael Shacklock demonstrates the palpation of the Median Nerve as students look on.
We can't stress this enough, limited class size allows students to get the most out of their experience. We take pride in knowing that everyone gets the opportunity to ask questions as well as one-on-one interactions with both the instructor and fellow classmates.
Michael Li (pictured here) is going to partner with Jetset Rehab Education for another continuing education class with Michael Shacklock on March 17, 2017. Follow us on social media for registration updates.
Michael Shacklock observes and palpates the Ulnar nerve. One can observe differences when comparing sides if one area has inflammation.
Lunch time! We cater many of our classes with high-quality food.
Later in the afternoon, we start the lab portion of the course. In this photo, every detail of the neurodynamic tests were reviewed piece by piece. In Photo - Allen Rubin.
Scot Morrison looks on with skepticism. Check out an old podcast we did with him HERE.
Joey Salgado, a Jetset Rehab Concorde club member and physical therapy continuing education student, came all the way up from the Bay Area where he runs his Private Practice clinic: Progressive Motion Physical Therapy.

A small class size is very important! It's ok to ask organizers how many students will be in the classroom. If the class size is too large, this moment is not going to happen.
Joey Salgado demonstrates the Radial Nerve test. The differentiation is at the scapula which he is stabilizing at the hip.
Lab discussion.
Michael Shacklock speaks as Scot Morrison and Phillip Snell look on.
We are very big on networking after class, hence the hashtag #stayafterclass.
We met up at a brewery with the instructor so our students could discuss the class, life, business, sports or anything else over some great food and beer.
Wouldn't you rather leave the classroom and discuss Neurodynamics here?
DAY 2: Phillip Snell and Scot Morrison with Michael Shacklock.
Day 2: in class discussion.
Justin Dean and friends. Justin is doing some great work with Rehab 2 Performance (R2P ISCRS). Stay tuned for an upcoming podcast with Justin and Phillip Snell.
We would like to thank Ecliptic Brewing for the great service and amazing food and drink. The space was amazing. A great time networking and meeting new friends.
Nice of Katherine Finn @ktptdpt to stop by. She attended our Las Vegas course but we love to invite former students to our networking events when we are in their town.

As a continuing education company for Rehab Specialists, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Athletic Trainers, Occupational Therapists, Jetset Rehab Education is based on 3 main things:
1. Great Instructors
2. Small Classroom
3. Networking events built in to the course

Monica helping spread the word about our upcoming class!
The memo on the office bulletin board peaked my interest. It highlighted a meeting organized by the GLAD district of Los Angeles for the CPTA. . The location was to be located in a brewery in Santa Clarita. See our photo diary below.
As anyone who reads this blog or follows Jetset Rehab Education on social media knows, we feel the networking is ESSENTIAL to clinicians.
By the way, this is why our classes are built around a great instructor AND a strong networking component built in.
Here are some reasons why networking is important for Clinicians:
- Referral system. Example: This particular night I met someone who is a Lymphadema specialist. I had been on the lookout for a specialist in this area for quite some time. Now I have someone I can send patients to if they need this service. These opportunities are everywhere! Perhaps your business or clinic provides a specialty service. After talking face to face you are more likely to get a referral vs. email ads and other forms of advertising. Think of this as word of mouth recommendations for your own business.
Mike and his two assistants.
- New Friends. Like minded people are more likely to develop friendships due to common interests. Friendships are great for having emotional support and understanding. Think of your grad school friends. They were the only ones who understood the intensity of school work and your lifestyle. Just as important are the friends you meet in a profesional setting. More friends = always good.
Long lost friends
- Tips/Advice. "That mistake you are about to make, I've already made it."
Wouldn't it be nice to know Clinicians who have been through your path before? Who understand your struggles because their's are the same? Trust me, if you just look, you will find them.
If you need advice, friendship, or opportunity this is the place to be.

Special thanks to GLAD and the Wolfcreek Brewery for the great night!

APTA Combined Sections Meeting 2016: a Jetset Rehab Photo Journal.
CSM 2016 in Photos. Send us your own!
I have gone to four combined sections meetings and this years was the most intense and the best one I have been to yet. I had the looming pressure of presenting a research project with Jay Bhatt, Andre Chavez, and Manny Yung on Tennis Elbow but getting the word out on Jetset Rehab Education was our main focus. We feel strongly in our product and are really excited about our classes this year.
A major difference I noticed in the PT landscape is the explosion of social media into the PT world, Student PTs were as well known as seasoned presenters and it was a joy to see.
Follow us on the links below!
During the conference I was snapping photos trying to capture our week in Anaheim for those who could not attend.
The Anaheim Convention Center
Our friends Marshall LeMoine and Mike Wong owners of the Clinical Pattern Recognition App presenting with Stephiana Bell to a packed house. The app is on sale now.
I got to meet up with Joe Donelly current mentor and former Professor from Georgia State (now at Mercer) and Stephen Morrison.
Preparing for our platform presentation.
For you Educators out there, the Clinical Pattern Recognition app has some great clinicians making it, Anne Lemoine is one of them. She is seen here educating some clinicians in the exhibit hall.
The PT conveyor belt. Every CSM seems to have this situation.
The building looked amazing. It allowed so much natural light inside that it didn't feel bad being inside all day.
Hope to see Bey at our next class
One of the highlights was meeting Andre Chavez (left) and Scot Morrison. These are some of the most thoughtful people I have met and just from one conversation I made a lot of changes in my research reading methods.
We recorded a podcast with Scot Morrison (pictured here)
Owner of Jetset Rehab Education Jay Bhatt (left) and Portland Jetset organizer Andre Chavez walk among the beautiful architecture of the Anaheim Convention Center. They are very stylish.
Sitting and waiting for the presentation to begin, a nervous moment for me. The water was great by the way.
Finally! The hours of research and studying have all led to this moment.
Afterwards our team (minus Manny Yung who was presenting in another room) take a moment to snap a photo. Left to Right: Andre Chavez, Randal Glaser, Jiten (Jay) Bhatt. Now I can relax.
The classroom before the ICF guidelines for Lateral Epicondylitis lecture. I have to say, the classrooms were really nice looking.
The alumni banquet Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Kaiser Permanente Ortho Residency. Special Thanks to Jason Tonley for organizing this.
Happy hour was busy. PTs were definitely taking advantage of the day off from the clinic.
Everywhere we looked people were networking and meeting old friends. This, in my opinion, is where our profession gets inspired to get better.
The weather was fantastic!
Exhibit hall randomness.

I love this photo because it has me with three of my most influential mentors: Left to Right: Me, Randal Glaser, Clare Frank, Tracey Wagner and Mr. Jiten (Jay) Bhatt.
Finally back home where my 2 year old son colored all over my research papers :) and thus putting closure on a great week!
What we have been up to lately. A Jetset Photo Journal
What Jetset Rehab Ed has been up to a Photo Journal.
The Jetset team has been incredibly busy over the last four months preparing our upcoming continuing education calendar while practicing exactly what we preach: traveling, exploring, and pursuing advanced clinical excellence.
Since our last event, Jay completed a tripsto Japan, and visited Prague to study Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Randal celebrated a wedding, and we finalized preparation for our upcoming peer-reviewed platform presentation at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting (CSM)!
When we launch our new course schedule, you can expect to see exactly how our international clinical perspectives and evidence-based research have influenced our curriculum. We are proud to bring the pinnacle of global orthopedic and manual therapy concepts straight to our students.
You will be pleased! Check out our photo journal below.
First and foremost, I, Randal, CO-Owner of Jetset got married. This was by far the biggest event I have ever taken part in planning. I will use this experience to plan some of the events at our classes.
Our Honeymoon was in Tokyo where this photo was snapped. One of the best cities on earth!
Soon after Jay was on his way to Japan as well to teach a class for Movement Links.
New Friends, #stayafterclass
Peaceful moment before class in Japan.
Food here is a work of art!
