Elevate your practice with our workshop on advanced deep tissue and fascial treatments. Designed for practitioners with myofascial experience, this course introduces refined methods to address dysfunctions and pain related to repetitive motions and prolonged postures, especially in cases where previous soft tissue approaches have been ineffective.

Participants will explore advanced methods and a fascial pain rate scale to correct myofascial and skeletal imbalances, with a focus on fascia’s role in sports medicine. The course also emphasizes enhancing hand strength and endurance for deep tissue work and integrating paramedical modalities to complement these treatments.

Join us to enhance your skills and advance your practice with a thorough approach to myofascial health and recovery.
