An Exciting Therapeutic Field is Emerging
More and more, patients are asking specifically about fascia-focused therapies. The public, and healthcare professionals, are growing more aware of the importance of fascia to our health. Mentions of research and even treatment methods are starting to appear in major news outlets. Schools that train various types of providers are adding fascial therapies to their technique curricula. As manual therapists increasingly get exposure to current concepts in fascia research and therapeutic practice, a new role for this tissue in pain causation and appropriate treatment is emerging. In fascia, we now see not just a structural tissue, but also a vast, richly innervated sensory "organ" that holds powerful sway over coordinated motion, posture, and joint stability, with possible influence on many other aspects of health.
Experience with fascia-focused treatment can induce wonder. A patient can be amazed that gentle pressure can relieve pain where more aggressive methods failed. When treatment at the hand and forearm triggers sudden improvement in hip extension strength, or release of intercostal restriction induces dramatic increase in lumbar flexion range of motion, it challenges the mind to explain the results. Fortunately, researchers are chipping away at a better understanding of fascia and how to influence it therapeutically. From using technology to measure different qualities of fascia pre- and post-treatment, to development of assessment methods using movement and function to map patterns of restriction, our knowledge base and tool kit are growing. At Fascia Sense Therapeutics, we are seeking to add to that knowledge, and to train practitioners in powerful, repeatable methods that can raise their practices to a new level.
We support our students with thorough and careful training, extensive hands-on experience, and a depth of offerings to allow continued studies with like-minded providers. Our live training seminars give practitioners grounding in two different types of manual therapy, with assessment and treatment guided by a unique method of manual palpation. Feedback and outcomes from thousands of patients show outstanding results, and our students praise the thoroughness and objective, repeatable nature of our methods. Fascia Sense therapies stand quite effectively on their own, and also powerfully augment other fascial therapy assessment and treatment styles. Please explore this site to learn more, and then join us at one of our upcoming events.
