Myofascial Release (MFR) is an amazing healing tool that can provide profound and long lasting benefits to clients and practitioners alike. This introductory modality class will provide you with a basic understanding of the fascial system and the concepts and application of MFR. We will practice palpation skills and a variety of MFR techniques, with the majority of time spent in hands-on practice. More detailed instruction on MFR can be found in our continuing education courses: Foundations of Myofascial Release and Myofascial Release 1 (March 2024)

Here we will explore the anatomy and function of fascia and the benefits and application of MFR to treat common soft tissue complaints. Participants will develop basic palpation skills, practice core MFR techniques and learn how to apply MFR in their treatment session.

In this interactive hands-on BASIC Introductory class, you will learn:

1. Description of the Modality
