Course Description
If you are working on soft tissue and muscles, you are also working on fascia. You do not treat fascia, you treat the body, but by nature the fascia is implicated as is it is connected to everything and everything to it. Learning more about fascia allows you to perform treatments in a more effective manner. Because the body responds differently to pressure on a cellular level, it is important to understand the reactions caused by varying forces of pressure.
This course discusses the fascia and how to treat disorders of its function. You will learn the latest understanding relating to the anatomy and physiology of fascia. Dr. Chaitow explains the elements that make up fascial behavior including fluid dynamic aspects and the effects of treating the tissues. The course will cover selected Fascial Modalities each addressing a different therapeutic approach to the treatment of fascial dysfunction. The information presented builds on a background of what is now known or hypothesized in relation to fascial dysfunction and its repercussions for physical activity.
Compiled and edited by an internationally respected author, practitioner and teacher, by completing this course you will have the background research, knowledge base and the most effective manual therapy approaches for restoring or improving fascial function. The therapies discussed are all supported by research and relevant clinical evidence is summarized for each modality allowing you to immediately apply it in your practice and see results.
This is a Hands-On Seminars exclusive online course. Join Manual Therapy legend, world renowned author of over 60 books and teacher Dr. Leon Chaitow in this brand-new exciting course!
