Who should attend this workshop:

Practitioners who are already using FSM or are currently enrolled in the Foundations course.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain a deeper understanding of overlooked causes of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction from a NeuroMyoFascial perspective
• Differentiate between active trigger points, latent trigger points and fascial distortion
• Be able to quickly identify dysfunction in the “Mover and Stabilizer muscles” that can lead to, or be the culprit of your patient’s pain
• Gain an appreciation for long-standing and acute dysfunction driven by the brain/central nervous system which is “simply compensating for an injury/dysfunction/trauma/catastrophic event”
• Gain a deeper understanding of the EMOTIONAL impact of injury or trauma on the NeuroMyoFascial and limbic systems.
• Review the Adverse Childhood Experiences research (ACEs) as it relates to chronic pain, disability, addiction and disease
• Be able to identify specific myofascial pain pattern maps associated with neck, shoulder, hip and low back pain

Learning Outcomes:

• Differentiate between active trigger points, latent trigger points, fascial distortion & scarring
• Identify more serious neurological issues perpetuating myofascial pain
• Identify the genesis of aberrant movement patterns & distorted biomechanics
• Identify the impact of injuries on the NeuroMyoFascial system
• Apply specific active, dynamic manual therapy techniques to safely and quickly address their patient’s myofascial pain
• Demonstrate basic competence in applying the Walking Release method to treat dynamic postural dysfunctions
