Maximizing Mobility with Myofascial Release – Live Webinar

Course Description

Explore how myofascial release can contribute to functional performance by increasing flexibility, reducing pain, and improving quality of life in this brief introduction. Fascia is a network of connective tissue surrounding all structures in the body. Abnormal tension in the fascia from stress, injury or disease contributes to a multitude of pain problems, including fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.  Its role in mobility, biomechanics and human performance is being recognized by researchers around the world. The latest evidence will be discussed to confirm the benefits of myofascial work.  This course includes photos of a variety of myofascial techniques to illustrate how this gentle stretching technology can transform mobility.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Describe the anatomy and function of the fascial system.
2. Define myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia and discuss the differences between them.
3. Explain the use of selected myofascial interventions to improve mobility and reduce pain.
4. Discuss the evidence-based research regarding the impact of the fascial system and efficacy of myofascial release
