Stecco Fascial Manipulation Workshop
A one-day introduction to the principles of Fascial Manipulation® — covering the core anatomical and biomechanical concepts alongside hands-on practical training in palpation, assessment and treatment of the fascial system. Now expanding to cities across Australia.
What the Workshop Covers
This workshop introduces the basic principles of Fascial Manipulation. You’ll learn a systematic framework to palpate and navigate segments of the fascial planes, and meet the FM assessment framework that methodically helps clinicians understand how prior injuries, surgeries and musculoskeletal trauma contribute to pain and dysfunction.
Online lectures explain
- The anatomical connections of the muscular fascia that form the myofascial planes and chains
- The physiological and biomechanical behaviour of fascia in the musculoskeletal system
- The cause of fascial pain and dysfunction, and how to differentiate densifications from fibrosis
In-person practical develops
- Palpation principles of the fascial system
- Identifying the Centres of Coordination (fascial points) in segments of the trunk
- Identifying the densifications that cause pain and dysfunction
- Treatment techniques to restore normal fascial function
- An overview of the FM assessment to formulate treatment hypotheses
