Introduction to Myofascial Modalities

 Dates & Times: August 13th, 14th, and 15th. 8am-5pm on Friday and Saturday. 8am-12pm on Sunday. 

This class explores the fascinating world of fascia by helping students understand the structure and function of myofascial connective tissue, review of anatomy trains, purpose and function of postural analysis and assessment, how to feel for the fascial barrier, how trauma effects fascia, explanation and sampling of the emotional component of the fascia.

The class will watch Lesson #1 on Sean Reihl’s Beginning Myofascial Release video and practice self-fascial movement techniques.  This is a dynamic video and describes our beginnings as pure fascial entities.

Course includes hands-on introductions to the most common forms of fascia work that can be easily incorporated into any massage. These include Skin Rolling, Deep Mobilization, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofasical Release, Unwinding and Oscillations. This course is one of the prerequisites for the advanced electives in the Focus on Fascia (Myofascial Release) track.
