In this two day, in-class (14 hour) workshop, students will improve their fascial palpitation skills in order to feel fascial restrictions and learn to gently decompress them. Students will also acquire knowledge about the nervous system and its affect on connective tissue and its influence on patient health. The students will gain confidence on how to treat specific injuries and postural imbalances in a way that utilizes less pressure and develops tactile skills to address fascial health concerns. In essence, this course will empower students to become better at decompressing fascial restrictions via theory and practical technique applications. The techniques taught are gentle for both the patient and the therapist and are fantastic for both structural therapists and those who wish to practice a softer therapeutic approach. Even though the techniques are gentle, students will learn how to work at a very deep level without discomfort to the client.

Would you like to learn how to address sensitive clients that require a more gentle yet very deep approach to releasing fascia actively?
In this two-day, in-class (14-hour), hands-on workshop, students will learn how to actively release fascia in the back, neck, arms, shoulders, hips and legs without causing pain to the client. As well, the student will learn how to decompress and release fascia in a way that minimizes wear and tear on the therapist.
This workshop builds on the foundation of the Fascial Decompression Workshop listed above.

These workshops are designed for massage therapists and other practitioners with hands-on rehabilitative certifications or degrees. A basic understanding of anatomy and physiology is essential in order to expand myofascial release knowledge and tactile ability.
(Prerequisite for Active Fascial Decompression is Fascial Decompression - listed above.)
