Attention Online Students

We have added an optional service to help and improve your techniques.


Effective immediately you can videotape yourself practicing techniques, and then send the video to our technique instructor, Nicholas Zancai, DOMP to be evaluated. Nick can be reached at nick@numss.com.

Your video should not be larger than 25MB or else it will not be delivered to us. Best is if you upload it to Youtube as a private video (not visible to anyone else) and then send the link to Nick.


This is NOT mandatory. It is optional. It is designed to help evaluate your technique and to guide and improve you. It is not an exam. And you do not have to do it if you do not wish to.


As we just finished teaching lumbar osteoarticular and MET techniques, you can videotape these lumbar techniques and email it to Nick if you wish your techniques to be evaluated.
