Our Foundation
Mastery. Love. Service.
Mastery
We teach chiropractors how to refine their hands through repetition, drills, and structural training—while also developing the presence and internal clarity that give each adjustment its power.
From spinal biomechanics and footwork to visualization and breathwork, our training sharpens the adjuster as much as the adjustment.
Mastery isn’t a finish line. It’s a way of moving, listening, and showing up—on and off the table.
Love
Every adjustment is a shared moment.
We train from love—not sentiment, but service.
The kind of love that holds space, honors the person in front of you, and calls forward your highest level of care.
Service
Chiropractic is not a transaction. It’s a relationship.
We believe chiropractic is a sacred vocation that invites each practitioner into their own evolving path of mastery as scientist, artist, and philosopher.
Our mission is to support that path with precision, integrity, and deep respect.
Honoring Our Lineage
We come from a legacy of art, science, and revolution.
MLS Adjusting Seminars were founded by Dr. Arno Burnier in 1984, born from a frustration with high-tension, force-first adjusting. What emerged was an entirely different approach—one grounded in physiological peace, ease, and listening.
The MLS method is tonal in nature, prioritizing the floating of the spinal cord within the meningeal system before the thrust is ever delivered. This creates the conditions for deep integration—an adjustment that lands not just structurally, but systemically.
Arno trained thousands of chiropractors across the world and left a mark on the profession that lives in every practitioner who came through his work. Many of today’s teachers, mentors, and technique developers began their path right here.
We carry that lineage forward—with reverence, evolution, and care.
Celebrating Our Present
We pioneered the modern chiropractic training seminar. But we never stopped evolving.
Today, MLS is led by a diverse, committed team of teachers who carry the original flame of Mastery. Love. Service. through a modern lens. Our trainings are immersive, precise, and transformational. They don’t just teach you what to do—they guide you toward who you’re becoming in the process.
This work is technical.
This work is spiritual.
This work is personal.
Our seminars are designed to sharpen skill, rebuild confidence, and return you to the why behind your work.
Preparing Our Future
We train chiropractors who will shape the next generation—by how they show up, not just what they know.
MLS bridges the gap between academic learning and embodied skill. We offer a parallel curriculum—one built on movement, presence, communication, artistry, and integration.
This is a community where mastery is nurtured, service is honored, and self-expression is welcomed.
Our commitment is not just to chiropractic.
Our commitment is to the people who feel called to it.
