This practical and theoretical series of workshops aims to promote a better understanding of the connective tissue and fascial layers that bind the body in a 3D continuum. In the past, the existence and relevance of such tissues during mobility, stability and pathology has been poorly understood. This is a fairly new area of discovery and research.
During this series of one-day updates, the connective tissue and fascial interfaces will be demonstrated, through permitted dissection videos and slides. Discussions will include some of the recent findings from the World Fascial Research Conferences of 2007 and 2009, British Fascia Symposium in 2014, and additional papers up to the present. This new information should assist with clinical reasoning during all stages of rehabilitation. Practical sessions will focus, as stated, on specific fields within clinical practice, and will include a selection of basic and advanced manual treatment approaches and techniques. The research findings are relevant for all manual therapists and should support lively debate in relation to a “Hands on” or “Hands off” approach. Subsequent parts of the series will focus on delivery of more advanced techniques and enhance a deeper understanding of complex dysfunction, in terms of the fascia and relationships to its attachments.
This workshop is aimed at clinicians wishing to expand their clinical reasoning and practical skills with regard to recent research on Connective Tissue and Fascia.
The workshop summarises the latest research surrounding what the fuss is regarding "fascia", and links this information to our understanding of the nervous system.
The workshop also relates this fairly new information to our understanding of movement, dysfunction, and our attempts to restore more appropriate and efficient movement after injury or pathology.
