Fascia is often the missing link for addressing persistent pain, pain after a fall or injury, immobilisation, recurrent acute back pain, movement restriction after surgery, post-surgical pain, contusion injuries, scar tissue and more.

A thorough understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the fascial systems can help inform patient education, tailored movements and specific rehabilitation that is quite different to how we approach muscular dysfunction. Liz Howard has translated current research into a simple assessment and treatment model for local and global fascial dysfunction, to help select the best treatment techniques and self-management for your individual patient.

Learning objectives:

• Describe the embryology, clinical anatomy and physiology of connective tissue
• Recognise fascial dysfunction in the case history
• Integrate a quick fascial assessment into your postural screen
• Identify key symptoms and signs of myofascial restrictions and contributors to pain
• Formulate a holistic treatment plan based on the latest research
• Utilize the Anterior fascial chain treatment protocol in your practice
• Identify when to use direct or indirect myofascial techniques
• Demonstrate individual patient education and self-management tools such as simple global exercises
