Course Description:
Research from the international fascia research congress shows muscular and fascial contributions to force transmission and pain generation at both the cellular and organismal level. Both manual and exercise therapy address fascia and ligamentous structures but it is difficult to distinguish exactly which structure is being treated.
The interconnections between muscular and fascial tissues, including those connections with distant tissues provides a new window into treatment particularly for those with chronic conditions. This course will provide practical information to the treating therapist. It will also prepare interested clinicians who want to attend the third international fascia research congress www.fasciacongress.org or who wish to watch the DVD's of the previous fascia congresses http://www.fasciacongress.org/2009/dvd-book-purchase-pub.htm
