At this 12 hour course, the focus will be on looking into what we know about fascia so far - the anatomy, physiology and pathology.
The focus will be on the manually and exercise approach to fascia, with a specific focus on, how the sympathetic nervous system affects the fascial tissue.
Over the past 10 years, interest in this tissue has increased dramatically, and now not, only manual therapists, but also oncologists, neurologists, immunologists and endocrinologists look into the fascial tissue.
As physiotherapists, we have direct access to the fascial tissue, both manually and training-wise, but first we must know the tissue's physiology and anatomy. That is one of the main goals of this course.
Outline
Fascia - the anatomy, physiology and pathology
Myofascial connections, tensegrity and mechanotransduction
The Autonomic Nervous System - Sympathetic and Parasympaticus - Influence on the Fascial Tissue and Sliding between tissue Layers
Proprioception, mechanoreception and interoception
Endocrinology - hormones and neurotransmitters
Exercise techniques that affect the fascial tissue and endocrinology
Manual techniques that can affect the fascial tissue and endocrinology
Fascial dysfunction seen in relation to differentiated target groups below; Neurology, Oncology, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Geriatrics and musculoskeletal.
The course alternates between theory, manual therapy and training.
