Fascial Manipulation & Anatomy: Dissection & Clinical Implication 1-Day CME Workshop
Designed to update physicians, physical therapists, massage therapists, and medical students with an interest to learn more about this important subject.
Fascial Manipulation© is a method of treatment to address myofascial pain. This technique involves manual friction over specific points on the deep muscular fascia. Clinically tested over the last 20 years, techniques have proven useful in Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Neurology.

Introduction to Fascial Manipulation is a workshop designed to introduce health professionals to Fascial Manipulation concepts and techniques. Attendees will be introduced to the histological anatomy, and the Centres of Coordination/Fusion. Participants will also be introduced to a biomechanical model of the human fasciae through a live dissection of interior limbs. The resultant analytical process will allow participants to work at a distance from the site of patient pain, which is often inflamed due to non-physiological tension. Musculoskeletal disorders addressed will include low back pain, tendinitis, sprains, peripheral nerve compressions, and neck pain syndromes. Visceral dysfunctions addressed will include Gastritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constipation, and Dysmenorrhoea.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Gain understanding of how the fascial system is formed, including its interrelationships, histology, innervations in the Biomechanical Model of Fascial Manipulation
- Review new terminology and movement analysis methods, Explain complex application
- Recognize how FascialManipulation works: Principles of here it works, which tissue to target, hypothesized action, and manners to treat
- Understand how to compile an Assessment Chart that is useful for a Fascial Manipulation treatment
- Be able to palpate CC of one segmentcomparatively - Provide an overall vision of how a Therapist conducts a treatment session
