LOOKING TO LEVEL UP YOUR PRACTICE?
Purchase the Efficient & Effective seminar either in-person or digitally.
I have distilled decades of learning and hands-on experience into a tightly packed, no fluff, seminar geared towards helping you tackle difficult cases.
Join my online community of practitioners and learners.
You’ll gain access to hundreds of real-life case sessions, the ability to ask me questions directly, and a discussion space full of professionals just like you.
Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions.
What Courses Do You Offer?
These are the courses that I currently offer:
Efficient and Effective 1: Manual Assessment and Intervention for Knee, Ankle and Foot Restoration.
This is an 8-hour course (live) and a 4.5-hour course (digital).
Efficient and Effective 2: Movement and Modality Intervention for the Knee, Ankle and Foot.
This is a 4-hour course (live) and a 4-hour course (digital).
Efficient and Effective 3: Manual Assessment and Intervention for the Shoulder Complex.
This is a 4-hour course (live) and a 4-hour course (digital).
E&E 2 and 3 make up Day 2 of my E&E seminar.
I did not pad them to 8 hours each. Together they fill the day.
I also offer The Ultimate Scar Guide
How to assess and treat scars.
Teach and Treat
I evaluate treat 4 providers while the others observed and asked questions
Why Should I Attend Your Course?
Because I’ve been challenging the status quo even while I was in PT school. I know that a vast majority of what we learned in school and what we learn in a weekend course does NOT make it to Monday; and if it does it has dissipated into the void by 1 month.
You already have models and theories. You already have tests. You already have an assortment of exercises. What has been missing is a filter – what to use, what to get rid of, and how do we most positively affect our patients in the shortest period of time.
That is the point of the Efficient and Effective seminars. The courses (digital and live) are lecture-light and lab-heavy. Minimal effective dose of theory, maximal dosages of practice reps of proven manual assessments and interventions that you know when, why and how to do. The skills end up in your hands, not in your notes.
Who is This Course For?
PTs/PTAs, DCs, DOs, ATCs, LMTs, trainers – anyone who helps other humans move better via manual therapies and/or exercise prescription.
If you treat knees, ankles, feet or shoulders and are unable to fully resolve your patients’/clients’ issues, maybe you need a different perspective, additional context and some new tools.
This course is for those are able to be completely honest and objective about what their current process and outcomes are and are willing to put in the work to get better at these new tools I am proposing.
Why Should I Join Your Online Community?
Because it is the internship most of us should have gotten but didn’t. Real cases, from Initial Evaluation to Graduation, continued mentorship and guidance in the form of a Discussion board and Monthly Zoom Calls.
Efficient & Effective
This course is the end result of a 31-year journey. Dr. Rao has attended over 100 seminars in his career, and has filtered out this distinct collection of tests and treatments to actually restore position, motion and function of the lower body.
This course is a game-changer.
“I’ve always loved learning and taking classes to stay current, sharpen my skills, and stay inspired in the work I do with my clients. Over the past 15 years, I’ve taken several courses each year, but Efficient and Effective Seminar with Loc has, without question, been the best one yet.
Loc has a remarkable gift for breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable pieces that anyone, regardless of background or education, can grasp and apply. The course content was clear, well-organized, and filled with hands-on practice. The small class size allowed for plenty of individual attention and guidance from Loc whenever we needed help.
I left the course feeling energized, inspired, and confident. I was able to start using the tools I’d learned the very next day with my clients. The inclusion of pre-recorded videos of all the lessons has also been incredibly helpful for reviewing and reinforcing what we learned.
Thank you, Loc, for the time, effort, and passion you put into helping us become better practitioners. I’m already looking forward to taking this course again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to help their clients or patients move and function more comfortably and effectively.”

Highlighted by my Efficient and Effective digital courses, each one is a focused tool set to add specific skills to your toolbox and not just a pile of theory.
