Erik Shimane recently completed Trainer Certification process for ELDOA this past weekend. He is the first Certified ELDOA Trainer in Hawaii and 1 of 93 in the world. The training is a vigorous course load of learning in-depth biomechanics of the spine, hips, neck and shoulder, and then learning and applying specific ELDOA exercises for each joint segment. The ELDOA 4 course was taught by French osteopath, Guy VOYER, D.O. — the creator of ELDOA.
