Myofascial Release Online

Myofascial Release Online Presented by Liz Howard

There is more and more research to support how osteopaths approach fascia in a holistic way, including patient education and specific rehabilitation which is quite different from how we approach muscular dysfunction. Liz Howard has translated this research into a simple protocol to assess for local and global fascial dysfunction and select the best treatment techniques and self-management for your individual patients. In partnership with Bower Bird CPD Liz has now further developed Myofascial Release into a brand new online version with even more content than her face-to-face course.

Myofascial Release Online features more than 40 videos of lectures, techniques, case studies and more. You will learn direct and indirect fascial techniques, treatment doses based on key clinical indicators, how often to treat the patient and how to estimate prognosis. This course is focused on musculoskeletal fascia and how to treat it efficiently.
