Course Description:

The latest fascial research from the 2007 and 2009 fascia conferences will be presented as the basis for interacting with fascia. We will look at this new information with the intent of exploring how this tissue effects the muscular and nervous systems. The mechanics of communication through this medium and the significance of the role fascia plays in disease are also a focus of this class. We will “play in fascia” and develop your palpation skills to identify areas of restriction and how to elicit change. The lecture portion of the class will explore the anatomy and physiology of the fascial system and its relationship to the Lymphatic, nervous and cardiovascular systems. The clinical practicum focus is on application of the microfascial technique as developed by Dale Perry for the restoring balance to tissues and pain reduction. This class is a must for those therapists desiring to develop a “medical massage” practice.
