Fascial manipulation introductory workshop

In conjunction with Melbourne Athletic Development (MAD), Osteopathy Australia proudly presents this hybrid workshop:

This fascial manipulation workshop introduces the basic principles of Fascial Manipulation (FM). In this workshop, you will learn the systematic framework to palpate and navigate segments of the fascial planes. The workshop also introduces the FM assessment framework that methodically helps the clinician to understand how prior injuries, surgeries and musculoskeletal trauma contribute to pain and dysfunction. This course combines online lecture and hands on practical components that will introduce you to the assessment and treatment process, making you able to better resolve your patients musculoskeletal pain.

The hybrid workshop includes:

Part 1: Online lecture (pre-recorded and available on-demand)

These lectures are designed to set you up for the in-person workshop.

• Anatomical connections of the muscular fascia that form myofascial planes/chains
• Physiological and biomechanical behaviour of fascia in the musculoskeletal system
• The cause of fascial pain and dysfunction, and the ability to differentiate fascial densifications from fibrosis

Part 2: In-person workshop (Melbourne):

• Palpating the fascial system
• Identifying the centres of coordination (fascial points) and organisation of the fascial planes/chains
• Identifying fascial densifications that cause pain and dysfunction
• The treatment techniques to treat densifications and restore normal fascial function
• The Fascial Manipulation assessment to understand how to formulate hypothesese connecting past musculoskeletal medical history to current pain and dysfunction

Your workshop facilitator:

The workshop will be presented by Jack Williams. Jack is the first and only Certified FascialManipulation Specialist (through the Fascial Manipulation Institute in Padua, Italy) and Fascial Manipulation teacher in Australia, teaching both in Australia and internationally.

During the workshop, tea/coffee and light refreshments will be made available.
