Foundations in Myofascial Release™ This 20 hour, 3 day seminar will provide the therapy professional the ability to effectively evaluate and treat a wide variety of conditions from a foundational base of knowledge in Myofascial Release, including MyoMobilization™. You will begin to look beyond the muscle, into the larger three-dimensional matrix of the fascia, changing your view of how holding patterns within the fascia can produce far reaching dysfunction.
