Your Discover Physio Series / ISM Graduate status can be used to apply to Part 4 of the ConnectTherapy Series, where upon completion of part 4 you become a ConnectTherapy Series Graduate, trained in the ConnectTherapy model.

No. Not in any way. In fact, in developing ConnectTherapy and the ConnectTherapy Series, LJ has been very careful to not only protect, but enhance your significant time and financial investment in the Discover Physio Series. All you have invested in the Discover Physio Series provides a foundation for the next step and is, for lack of a better term, “transferable” to the ConnectTherapy Series Part 4.

When it comes to Find a Physio, your listing will always carry your ISM Series Graduate designation. Once you have completed Part 4 of the ConnectTherapy Series, your ConnectTherapy Series Graduate status will also be added. Combined, these two designations will offer you a distinct marketing advantage.

You remain a graduate of the Discover Physio Series and maintain your ISM designation for as long as you wish. Because ConnectTherapy maintains many basic constructs of the ISM, once you have successfully completed Part 4 of the ConnectTherapy Series, you also automatically become a ConnectTherapy Series Graduate and carry this additional designation.

Language is important and we will help you with this. All participants who complete the training, transitioning from the ISM to ConnectTherapy, will be supplied with materials to help them communicate with their patients, potential patients and colleagues. This language can be used on your website and across all your collateral/communications materials.

Your options to become up-skilled in ConnectTherapy are simple. If you are a graduate of the Discover Physio Series, or have completed a 3 Part ISM Series under a qualified ISM instructor, you are qualified to take Part 4 of the ConnectTherapy Series. If you are a registered physiotherapist and have not previously taken any ISM Series or Discover Physio Series course, you can enroll directly into Parts 1-3 of the ConnectTherapy Series from this website, by clicking on Courses & Lectures.

It is anticipated there will be regular (annual) updates to the current curriculum that will be provided as part of your licensing fee. In addition, there will be a recurrent training program, which will be shorter update courses than the original Certification process and take place on a less frequent basis– most likely every third or fourth year from the time of becoming Certified.

Use of the Trust Marks will be strictly regulated as they communicate that you have reached a high standard of clinical expertise in the ConnectTherapy and Thoracic Ring Approach Models. LJLI will supply Dr. LJ Lee Certified Practitioners with all the rules, regulations and specifications, as to the use of the Trust Mark(s). LJLI will also develop and supply guidelines, along with ideas of how to apply the Trust Marks.

Absolutely! If you have completed an ISM Series with another practitioner, this provides you with the basic requirements to enter Part 4 of LJLI’s ConnectTherapy™ Series. Once you have successfully completed Part 4, your ConnectTherapy Series Graduate status allows you to apply to take LJLI’s robust Certification Program.

First, HAVE YOU BEEN to Vancouver? It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world, as well as a superb learning environment. That said, it’s physically where LJLU is located. Just as important, the practical component is such a large part of Certification it is essential to have unfettered access to real patient cases. To find a facility elsewhere—one that would satisfy this critical practical component– would be both challenging and cost prohibitive. In terms of a global educational opportunity, Vancouver’s proximity to the rest of the world offers logistical advantages. Hosting Certification in Vancouver actually delivers cost-cutting measures and helps keeps our pricing structure attractive.
