Myofascial therapy is intuitive; it is effortless and applicable for all clients. It will also help you, as a therapist, to avoid burnout from overwork. This course is inherently hands-on. All students will give and receive this work and will be able to apply these techniques immediately in their practice. Try something new to reenergize your joy of massage!

  • Focus on increasing your awareness of patterns that reside in the body (including physical habits, overuse patterns, mental and emotional patterns, and your own pattern)
