From knowing very little about the subject, I now have an understanding that allows me to make better-informed decisions when treating patients. This has opened up a new avenue of treatment that benefits both the patient and me.”

    “The course content was great and included everything I needed to implement the treatment confidently in practice. I was delighted that the course wasn’t rushed, but was well covered and thorough. It wasn’t a hurried day that left me with unanswered questions. Matt and Neil from S4S provided excellent, professional technical and clinical advice. I have ordered more posters for the practice and will run a campaign on the appliance for the next six months. Their approachable and supportive advice made it easier for me to introduce this type of treatment into the practice.”
