Manual Medicine Workshops in the Philippines for 2009

TOPICS for INCOMING WORKSHOPS:
Greetings!
We were wondering if you could help us sort out suggested "sharing" topics for 2009..

The intent is for us to finish all our major events by midyear so we can prepare for when we bring to the Philippines an international certification for structural rehabilitation via the nice folks at the Center for Intergative Manual Therapy (CIMT). The certificate will be issued by Westbrook University regardless where the courses were taken.

Off the top of our heads, we thought you might be interested in:
