Myofascial Mastery Series

An in dept review of myofascial methodology and Advanced techniques of fascial manipulation.

Course Description

This advanced course is for bodyworkers and health care professionals who want to increase their knowledge in skills in manipulating fascia and create structural changes in their clients and patients. This course will cover different approaches to manipulating fascia in the body in order to create long lasting results, especially for those clients with long held structural holding patterns and imbalances in the body. Each weekend will address a different methodology and approach to manipulating the fascia in the body, as well as an anatomical history and review of connective tissue. Upon completing this course, students will have a variety of different tools to use and customize to meet the needs of their individual clients.

Goals of the Class

The goal of this series is to give students a solid understanding of the role of fascia in the body, how it affects posture and holding patters, and how it responds to various types of manipulation. Students will learn how to do thorough postural assessments, and a wide variety of techniques to effectively change fascial holding patterns to relieve chronic imbalance and pain symptoms.
