An Introduction to Myofascial Release Techniques & Principles
The intent of this course is to introduce beginner level concepts and principles that define Myofascial Release as a technique as well as a tool for wellness. The participants will learn about the importance of the fascial system and its role in whole body health.
This “hands-on” workshop will allow the participants an opportunity to develop beginner level tools for the evaluation and treatment of fascial restrictions.
This class is a prerequisite for the following classes:
- The Fascial Cranium and Thorax
- The Body-Mind Connection: An Introduction to Myofascial Movement Techniques
- Suggested prerequisite for the Fascial Pelvis Seminar
- Fascial Cranium II
Course Dates: Sept. 17, 18, 19, 2010
Course Fee: $495 - Registration Deadline: September 10, 2010
The Fascial Cranium & Thorax l
The intent of this course is to explore the dural tube, the cranialsacral system, and the osseous structures of the thorax and neck in relation to the fascial system throughout the body.
This important workshop will help you “unlock” difficult to treat neck, throat, and back pain, headaches, postural asymmetries, and respiratory indications resulting from thoracic imbalances. Myofascial release, Cranialsacral therapy, and muscle energy techniques will be used in this “hands-on” workshop.
An Intro. To Myofascial Release is a prerequisite for this class (see above).
Course Dates: October 15, 16, 17, 2010
Course Fee: $495 - Registration Deadline: October 8, 2010
Moving the Ground Substance - The Rebounding Effect
Myofascial Rebounding is a gentle, rocking motion that is used to engage the body's fluid within the Myofascial complex in a therapeutic way.
The fluid that is within and around the fascial system carries energy, chemicals and information to all of the cells in our body to help them function optimally. When a person undergoes an inflammatory process or trauma of some type, the fluidity of the fascial system dehydrates and solidifies creating dysfunction throughout the system as a whole.
Rebounding facilitates rehydration of the ground substance and fluid filled portion of the fascial system and improved mobility and ROM of this system as well.
Join us in this one day introduction to Rebounding where we will spend the day practicing beginner level techniques in this "hands-on" workshop. No prerequisites are required.
Course Dates: Nov. 19, 2010
Course Fee: $165 - Registration Deadline: Nov. 12, 2010
A Symposium on the Fascial Pelvis
The intent of this course is to learn strategies to evaluate and treat the pelvis using a Myofascial perspective. This “hands-on” workshop will provide an opportunity to develop palpation and manual evaluation tools to determine pelvic symmetry and mobility, and explore this relationship within the fascial body.
An Intro. To Myofascial Release is a suggested prerequisite for this class (see above).
Course Dates: Jan. 28, 29, 30, 2011
Course Fee: $495 - Registration Deadline:Jan. 21, 2011
Myofascial Wellness - Therapeutic Exercise using Myofascial Principles
