This course is an introduction to myofascial therapy and teaches a collection of techniques that apply
prolonged light and specific pressure directed into the fascia system. Students learn that fascia
surrounds every system of the body all the way down to the cellular level. Lecture/discussion covers
how trauma, disease process, inflammation and poor posture often cause restrictions and a change in
the viscosity of the fascia. Myofascial techniques are demonstrated and taught in ways which can
stand alone as therapeutic treatment or be incorporated into other bodywork approaches to return the
fascia to a normal, healthy elastic and fluid state.
