Certificate of Additional Qualification in Holistic Manual Therapy

[Maddrifter]

Hello,
does anyone know this course-qualification: "Certificate of additional qualification in holistic manual therapy"? Or its teacher dr. Bezilla?
It seems pretty cheap (4x 3 days, for a total around 1500€), but i never heard of it. Is it evidence based, and worth the cost?

Is anything you can learn in 3 days really that impressive a qualification?

Definitely not, but it is aimed to people who aldready are PTs, and it's a 12 days course. I am not interested in the qualification per se. In fact next year i am attending a one year uni course (60 c.f.u.). But for my esperience, regarding pratical skills, i learned way more from short private courses than from 2 degrees. It's a known problem of the italian school system.

Anytime I hear the word "holistic" in the field of medicine, I crank up my BS-detector one notch. While I respect and fully support the holistic philosophy (treat the whole person and not just the symptoms), that field is chock-full of quacks who prey on naive or desperate people.

As for your Dr Bezilla, he is indeed a fine specimen of the medical practitioner; he got his license to practice medicine revoked in the state of Delaware, for sexual misconduct during a medical examination:
Bezilla, D.O., v. Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline.

Maybe this is why he's teaching classes now... In English there's a saying "those who can, do; those who cannot, teach".

Thanks Jblil, we got a similar saying in Italy too! It is sometimes difficult from here to distinguish good and bad between these renowned teachers coming from U.S.
