This is a 2-day structural series part 1 myofascial release workshop

Pre-requisite, core education training qualification in a bodywork therapy including anatomy and physiology.

The participant will:

• examine the development of fascia, its structural function and dysfunction and physiological effects of a variety of fascial release techniques
• learn observation and palpatory diagnostic skills
• learn various fascial release application and specific techniques for the shoulders, neck, and extremities
• learn the fundamental fascial cross hand release, transverse planes, arm/leg pulls and active and passive soft tissue techniques
• explore fascial rehabilitation and self-care approaches.

Please note, as this qualification is a post-graduate training programme, we generally cannot accept movement therapists, personal trainers or fitness coaches unless they are insured to deliver hands-on therapy as part of their core qualification. Unfortunately, we cannot accept energy workers, reflexologists, talk therapists or Indian head massage therapists for these workshops.

Diploma students will require to complete the necessary assignments which will include the practical applications and theory of this workshop.

This is a 2-day myofascial rehabilitation workshop

Fascial rehabilitation offers advanced concepts and applications which the student can use as a home treatment programme for clients. This workshop brings various flexibility, conditioning, proprioception and self-care concepts and applications together providing the student with the theory, understanding and techniques to help their clients help themselves. Emphasis will be given to home programmes for chronic pain, a neglected area of therapy as this care requires different approaches to that of acute and sports injury. This workshop will also include the basic principles of the anatomy and physiology of injury, pain and tissue healing.

Pre-requisite- structural series part 3

Objectives

The student will learn:

• The fundamental anatomy and physiology of injury, pain and tissue healing
• The important application of bespoke home programmes
• A variety of mobility, stability, proprioception and self-care applications
• The use of therapy tools and how to encourage clients to use them
• The use of muscle energy techniques and neurofascial release as home programmes
• Fascial mobility and fascial stretching methods
• The student will also obtain a certificate for CPD purposes

Diploma students will require to complete the necessary assignments which will include the practical applications and theory of this workshop.

• learn valuable soft tissue and myofascial techniques for the erector spinae group, lower limb, neck and shoulders
• learn the integration of specific muscle energy techniques with myofascial release techniques for the pelvic area
• learn the importance of compression and decompression fascial release techniques

This is a 2-day myofascial release workshop for the axial skeleton.

This workshop is a combination of the previously taught 1-day TMJ workshop and 1-day Spine and Sacrum workshop.

This 2-day MFR workshop will discuss the anatomy and function of the temporomandibular area and the spine and sacrum. This workshop offers diagnostic skills, the biomechanical and biotensegrity understanding of the relationship of the jaw with the rest of the body and easy to use fascial techniques to regain correct movement, balance and function.

Pre-Requisite – structural series part 1

Objectives:

The participant will:

• explore the anatomy of the TMJ joint
• learn effective MFR techniques for the muscles of mastication
• explore the symptoms related to Bruxism, jaw clenching and joint popping
• learn how to assess fascial restrictions surrounding the TMJ area
• explore the importance of the TMJ area with regards to posture
• explore the relationship of the jaw, pelvis and cranial bones with regards to balance
• learn how to assess the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
• explore the relationship between the sacrum and lumbar spine
• explore how vertebral restrictions can affect the entire structure
• learn appropriate fascial techniques for the quadratus lumborum and erector spinae
• learn appropriate fascial techniques to unlock jammed vertebrae and promote freedom of movement
• obtain a certificate of attendance that can be used for CPD application where applicable. Please contact your own organisation for further details.

This is a 2 day unwinding workshop presented by Ruth Duncan at Diorama Arts Studios London.

Myofascial Unwinding is the spontaneous movement of the body during an MFR treatment session. This movement is the body’s self-correcting mechanism. It is a natural, safe and effective way to release deep restrictions due to the unconscious, habitual, holding and bracing patterns both physical and emotional. This movement also takes the hard work out of understanding postural evaluation and protocol techniques. It allows the therapist to see, feel and access the glitches in the patient’s unique fascial system, follow and soften through them and thereby restoring function and range.

Pre-requisite – structural series part 1

The participant will learn –

• the science and theory behind this movement approach
• the importance of fascial history with regards to emotion and movement
• therapeutic dialoguing
• safe and effective ways to facilitate this movement
• standing, seated and lying unwinding
• local and full body unwinding
• the difference between unwinding and calculated movements
• how to read the physical unwinding language
• how to move through unwinding patterns and facilitate change
• how to work with the emotional component
• how to explain this approach confidently to the patient.

Diploma students will require to complete the necessary assignments which will include the practical applications and theory of this workshop.
