Learning  Objectives

  • Perform objective palpation to identify fascial restrictions in cervical, thoracic, lumbopelvic, and limb regions.
  • Apply evidence-based manual techniques to treat fascial dysfunctions in at least 15 key muscular and fascial structures.
  • Develop clinical reasoning skills to integrate fascial assessment findings into patient-specific treatment plans.
  • Demonstrate safe application of fascial therapy techniques while recognizing contraindications and red flags.

Prerequisites

  • Licensed healthcare practitioner (physiotherapist, osteopath).
  • physiotherapist internship student.

Course Requirements

  • Complete 3-hour online theoretical module
  • Attend all practical sessions (2 days)
  • Participate in hands-on practical assessments
  • Active engagement in case study discussions

Benefits and Applications

How to prepare for this course

  1. Complete the mandatory 3-hour online theoretical module before the practical session
  2. Review musculoskeletal anatomy, particularly:
    • Cervical and lumbar spine structures
    • Upper and lower limb myofascial anatomy
    • Thoracic and respiratory anatomy
  3. Bring comfortable clothing suitable for practical sessions (shorts and tank top recommended)
  4. Prepare clinical cases from your practice for discussion during integration sessions
  5. Ensure you have no contraindications for receiving hands-on practice during the course
