This seminar deals with the evaluation and treatment techniques of myofascial manipulation. In order for the body to maintain normal physiological motion and postural efficiency, there needs to be freedom from restrictions in the myofascial unit. The emphasis of this seminar is placed on the relationship of the soft tissue structures to the mechanics of the spine. The lecture component consists of discussion of functional anatomy, posture, soft tissue anatomy, both normal and pathological treatment principles and the biomechanics of soft tissue. Soft tissue techniques directed at normalizing function will be demonstrated and practiced for the hip, pelvis, lumbar, thoracic, sub cranial and cervico-thoracic spines.
