Conference Attendee Feedback

I loved the variety of speakers and felt that ACRA did a great job at providing a mix of topics and a mix of various professionals which really hits home that all the various professions have valuable information and skills to offer. I may not be a Chiropractor, a surgeon, a scientist or ? but as a professional I should have awareness of all these professions. Imagine the strength of the Canine Rehab Industry with collaboration and professional standards. Imagine how such unity and collaboration will help canines and their owners in what is currently a confusing and overwhelming to navigate.

Exciting times await the rehab industry as ACRA grows. I gained up to date information on orthopedic surgery - it is good to know what is currently out there and what the surgeons are doing. Canine Conditioning and shoulder rehab - I garnered a lot of information of relevance and interest to me.

I attended the conference to continue my education on Rehab. I especially enjoyed Laurie Edge Hughes presentation on Medial Shoulder perspective. I walked away feeling much more confident in what I am doing.

Esther Horton

All the topics and presenters at the conference were of interest to me together with the opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded individuals. I intend to use the information given to share with clients re options/considerations and to have better discussion with vets locally.

I learned so much at the ACRA conference I wished each speaker had been able to have more time because there was just so much excellent information. It was a timely reminder that all of the body is connected and needs to be diagnosed/treated/respected as one being not as a series of “parts”.

Angela Hamilton

The ACRA conference provided the perfect networking, and lectures on relevant topics. The fascial network communication, strengths/limitations of different diagnostic tools for shoulder work up, and the evolution of the canine diet were my favourites. Can’t wait til the next conference.
