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 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 on 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.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, the participant will learn the following:
- The different functions of the fascia including its capabilities
- The fascial properties including colloidal, viscoelasticity, and hysteresis
- Mechanotransduction, tensegrity, and cellular responses to manual therapy
- Myofascial Release and the effect on cells
- The purpose and functions of myofibroblasts
- Physiological effects were seen in acupuncture on connective tissue planes
- Phases and effects of water in the fascia due to pressure
- Various fascial dysfunctions including densification
- Fascial layers and continuity in different ligaments and joints
- The historical link between trigger points and fascia
- Different assessment methods including local and functional approaches
- To identify patterns where fascia could be more restricted
- Zink & Lawson’s Fascial Compensation Patterns and rotational preferences
