Upon completion of this continuing education seminar, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the four layers of the fascial system and how they interrelate
2. Describe the theory and application of osteopathic principles to include myofascial induction technique with respect to its neurophysiologic effect
3. Perform, selective tissue tension testing, osseous and articular spring testing and recognize abnormal connective tissue mobility
4. Differentiate between direct and indirect mobilization techniques and understand the proper application of each
5. Cite potential causes for the development of local restrictions in the fascial system and the role that somatic convergence plays in the perpetuation of pain states
6. Apply the technique of three-dimensional myofascial induction; utilizing external body and internal vaginal/rectal approaches for myofascial structures throughout the trunk, pelvis, and lower extremity as it relates to pelvic dysfunction
7. Describe the difference between ARTS and STAR for treatment paradigms plus the application of positional inhibition technique for the treatment of exquisite trigger points
8. Identify the anatomy of the neurologic connective tissue and application of peripheral nerve mobilization
9. Differentiate treatment applications for fascial structures to include fascial induction, fascial decompression, and use of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
10. Implement myofascial mobilization techniques into a comprehensive treatment program for the patient with varied diagnoses of the lumbar, pelvic, and hip region as they relate to pelvic health physical therapy
