The webinar:

In this webinar, Jack Williams will discuss how the Fascial Manipulation Method provides an assessment framework of understanding how old injuries can contribute to someone's current pain or dysfunction. Jack will discuss the anatomy of the myofascial system, changes that occur to fascia and how this causes biomechanical changes through the fascial network in organised patterns that affect the mechanics of a distant, but anatomically related region of the body.

Learning objectives:

1. Explain the changes that occur to the fascial system, and how these manifest into pain and dysfunction over time
2. Provide insight into how prior injuries, pain or dysfunctions provide clues to the contribution of current musculoskeletal problems
3. Discuss the organisation of the myofascial system, and how the mapping of the fascial network assists clinicians’ into identifying the pattern of dysfunction
4. Use case studies to provide real world examples of common presentations related to fascial dysfunction, and how to identify the source of the problem through assessment
