Course Descriptions

The Fascia, Its Structure and Function
The structure and function of fascial tissue is becoming more precisely understood as the science in this field progresses. Exciting new information about fascia helps build a new perspective of manual treatment.

This workshop is designed to help the clinician understand fascia and integrate this perspective into their treatment.

In this workshop you can expect to:

• Learn recent and significant scientific findings in the world of fascia;
• Understand how a fascial approach integrates into the clinical picture;
• Assess, Palpate and Treat key fascial structures;
  

The Pelvic Girdle

The Pelvic Girdle is central to balance and function of the entire body. Fascial strain in the legs, trunk or pelvis itself can create postural compensation and movement dysfunction. These imbalances can be the underlying causes of pain or restriction. Treating the pelvis from a fascial perspective is a powerful tool for any manual therapist.

The Shoulder Girdle

The healthy Shoulder Girdle facilitates a great variety of movement. The freedom, function and stability of this girdle depends on the balance of tension and glide in the myofascial structures. Understanding fascial layer interactions, junction points and how to release these is a useful addition for any clinician looking to restore function or reduce pain in the shoulder girdle.
