About
This course is delivered on a professional online learning programme and provides a comprehensive online theory package including the anatomy and physiology of the fascial system, fascial dysfunction, current research as well as case studies and valuable documentation to establish a Myofascial Release Practice.
Over 45 techniques are presented in video format with unlimited access enhancing learning and refinement of application. The techniques offered are drawn from various styles of MFR, scar tissue techniques, cranial and intraoral techniques all of which are presented as an integrated approach alongside an introduction to myofascial rebounding and unwinding.
Specific assessments and techniques are provided for the hip, shoulder, lumbar, pelvic, thorax and TMJ including pelvic assessment and treatment of leg length discrepancies and pelvic imbalance.
Who is it For
Pre-requisite. A minimum of a level 3 in Anatomy and Physiology at National Occupational Standard and a manual therapy qualification also to a minimum of a level 3 plus at least 18 months of clinical practice. For manual therapists, a sports and remedial programme is preferable but not essential. However, therapists trained in Swedish, Holistic or Therapeutic Massage (or similar) could use this course as a bridging programme to a remedial qualification.
This course is not suitable for Beauty Therapists, Reflexologists, Movement Therapists, Energy and Reiki Therapists and those without a formal recognised manual therapy qualification.
