Pre-requisites

 At least three DCR classes.

Description

Fascial Strands is a connective tissue technique. Use Fascial Strands to treat hypertrophy found in areas of tissue density, such as fibroids.

This is a practical lab course. Most of the three days will be spent in lab, developing clinical skills. This seminar is limited to 26 participants who will spend time developing assessment and treatment expertise with this unique and novel approach. There is minimal lecture time. Mapping, Palpation and Fascial Glide Diagnostic Techniques will be used to find areas of connective tissue dysfunction.

Outcomes

• Fascial Strands can be used to decrease scar tissue and improve connective tissue flexibility in all populations. It is particularly useful for Women's Health issues (fibroids, breast densities), Men's Health issues (Pelvic pain and dysfunction), Scars, Burns, Neuromas, Fibromyalgia and Arthritis related pain syndromes.
