Level 3 is an in-person course provided over 6 days totalling 48 education hours (8 hours/day).  There is an even split between theoretical lectures and practical sessions.

Practical sessions include working with real patients who have structural alterations in spinal alignment.

Theoretical lectures include post-surgical management, complex case management and managing group classes, amongst other things.
