Course Description
In Fascial Manipulation® Level 3, students will expand their skill to evaluate and treat patients with symptoms of both musculoskeletal and internal dysfunction. This course consists of a hybrid 13 hr. video plus a three-day hands-on session.
Numerous treatment demonstrations and practice will highlight this course in order to improve the ability of the participants to assess and treat what are known as tensile, apparatus and system dysfunctions. Assessment chart analysis, clinical reasoning, hands-on skills, and treatment strategies will be emphasized.
Fascial Manipulation Level 3 will allow participants to approach patients in a global way to:
- resolve locomotor problems (treated using levels 1 & 2) that do not respond.
- resolve functional internal problems due to internal dysfunction.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the course, the participant should be able to:
- List the types of human internal fascia and understand the role of internal fascia in visceral pain.
- Differentiate between somato-visceral and viscero-somatic type pain and assess the proper body tensostructures.
- Develop effective treatment for internal pain and visceral dysfunction and superficial fascia alteration.
- Evaluate the quality of the internal fascia and superficial fascia through a specific palpatory verification resolving the tissue stiffness.
