This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of Visceral Fascia Level 1: The Urinary System. A satellite means that participants will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course.
This course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the relationship between the connective tissue surrounding the visceral structures of the urologic system as it relates to the musculoskeletal system.
This course is geared toward the experienced pelvic health therapist who wishes to integrate advanced manual therapy skills into their treatment regime.
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers, with the visceral layer, which is the most complex, beginning at the nasopharynx and ending at the anal aperture (1)
- The abdominopelvic canister is “A functional and anatomical construct based on the components of the abdominal and pelvic cavities that work together synergistically” (2)
- The walls of the canister, although part of the musculoskeletal system, are intimately connected to the visceral structures found within via fascial and ligamentous connections (3).
- In order to function optimally the viscera must be able to move, not only in relationship to one another but with respect to their surrounding container (4).
- Most importantly, the viscera are subject to the same laws of physics as the remainder of the locomotor system with solid structures such as the kidney are particularly affected by blunt force trauma (5, 6).
Material will be presented that includes the science of and evidence behind the use of fascial-based manual therapy with the presentation of relevant visceral and fascial anatomy and their embryologic origins. Emphasis will be placed on clinical reasoning with the goal of immediate implementation of the techniques learned following this introductory course. Students will be instructed in an extensive number of treatment techniques, both external abdominal as well as internal vaginal approaches. Course participants will be able to immediately incorporate evaluation and treatment of visceral fascia for patients with a variety of urinary dysfunction diagnoses.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of Visceral Fascia Level 1: The Urinary System. A satellite means that participants will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course.
This course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the relationship between the connective tissue surrounding the visceral structures of the urologic system as it relates to the musculoskeletal system.
This course is geared toward the experienced pelvic health therapist who wishes to integrate advanced manual therapy skills into their treatment regime.
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers, with the visceral layer, which is the most complex, beginning at the nasopharynx and ending at the anal aperture (1)
- The abdominopelvic canister is “A functional and anatomical construct based on the components of the abdominal and pelvic cavities that work together synergistically” (2)
- The walls of the canister, although part of the musculoskeletal system, are intimately connected to the visceral structures found within via fascial and ligamentous connections (3).
- In order to function optimally the viscera must be able to move, not only in relationship to one another but with respect to their surrounding container (4).
- Most importantly, the viscera are subject to the same laws of physics as the remainder of the locomotor system with solid structures such as the kidney are particularly affected by blunt force trauma (5, 6).
Material will be presented that includes the science of and evidence behind the use of fascial-based manual therapy with the presentation of relevant visceral and fascial anatomy and their embryologic origins. Emphasis will be placed on clinical reasoning with the goal of immediate implementation of the techniques learned following this introductory course. Students will be instructed in an extensive number of treatment techniques, both external abdominal as well as internal vaginal approaches. Course participants will be able to immediately incorporate evaluation and treatment of visceral fascia for patients with a variety of urinary dysfunction diagnoses.
Audience:
This continuing education seminar is targeted to physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapist assistants, registered nurses, nurse midwives, and other rehabilitation professionals. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation.

Course Title
Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer: Pelvis and Lower Extremity
Course Description
This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. This continuing education course consists of 3 hours of pre-recorded lectures followed by 14 hours of live, interactive remote learning which will be completed by groups meeting at a specific satellite OR self hosted location. The instructor will be presenting to all satellites from a remote location via Zoom. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.
Seminar content is targeted to physical therapists. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Clinical continuing education should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.

Material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and evaluation for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures. Participants will be exposed to multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction throughout this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate myofascial based treatment into an existing clinical program
- Fascia is the ubiquitous connective tissue that permeates the entire body forming a continuous three-dimensional matrix of structural support and communication (1).
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers; the “myofascia” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system (2).
- Patients with chronic pelvic pain are more likely to have abnormal musculoskeletal findings on examination (3,4).
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal and rectal techniques, Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular, intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition as a modality for shutting off trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity -Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping) -Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Read more about What to Expect During Courses with Internal Lab Work.

Material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and evaluation for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures. Participants will be exposed to multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction throughout this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate myofascial based treatment into an existing clinical program
- Fascia is the ubiquitous connective tissue that permeates the entire body forming a continuous three-dimensional matrix of structural support and communication (1).
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers; the “myofascia” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system (2).
- Patients with chronic pelvic pain are more likely to have abnormal musculoskeletal findings on examination (3,4).
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal and rectal techniques, Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular, intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition as a modality for shutting off trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity -Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping) -Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Read more about What to Expect During Courses with Internal Lab Work.

This continuing education course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the connective tissue that interplays within the muscular system of the trunk, hip, pelvis and lower extremity as it relates to treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. This course is geared toward the therapist that wishes to integrate a variety of manual therapy techniques for treating the myofascial system. Material will be presented that includes the science and evidence behind myofascial release, relevant anatomical structures, clinical reasoning and an extensive number of treatment techniques. Lab sections include both surface and internal vaginal/rectal techniques. The goal is to provide the clinician that is currently treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction additional tools that they can immediately incorporate into their clinical practice.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.
Seminar content is targeted to physical therapists. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Clinical continuing education should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.

Material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and evaluation for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures. Participants will be exposed to multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction throughout this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate myofascial based treatment into an existing clinical program
- Fascia is the ubiquitous connective tissue that permeates the entire body forming a continuous three-dimensional matrix of structural support and communication (1).
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers; the “myofascia” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system (2).
- Patients with chronic pelvic pain are more likely to have abnormal musculoskeletal findings on examination (3,4).
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal and rectal techniques, Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular, intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition as a modality for shutting off trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity -Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping) -Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Read more about What to Expect During Courses with Internal Lab Work.

This continuing education course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the connective tissue that interplays within the muscular system of the trunk, hip, pelvis and lower extremity as it relates to treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. This course is geared toward the therapist that wishes to integrate a variety of manual therapy techniques for treating the myofascial system. Material will be presented that includes the science and evidence behind myofascial release, relevant anatomical structures, clinical reasoning and an extensive number of treatment techniques. Lab sections include both surface and internal vaginal/rectal techniques. The goal is to provide the clinician that is currently treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction additional tools that they can immediately incorporate into their clinical practice.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.
Seminar content is targeted to physical therapists. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Clinical continuing education should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.

Material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and evaluation for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures. Participants will be exposed to multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction throughout this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate myofascial based treatment into an existing clinical program
- Fascia is the ubiquitous connective tissue that permeates the entire body forming a continuous three-dimensional matrix of structural support and communication (1).
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers; the “myofascia” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system (2).
- Patients with chronic pelvic pain are more likely to have abnormal musculoskeletal findings on examination (3,4).
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal and rectal techniques, Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular, intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition as a modality for shutting off trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity -Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping) -Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Read more about What to Expect During Courses with Internal Lab Work.

This continuing education course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the connective tissue that interplays within the muscular system of the trunk, hip, pelvis and lower extremity as it relates to treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. This course is geared toward the therapist that wishes to integrate a variety of manual therapy techniques for treating the myofascial system. Material will be presented that includes the science and evidence behind myofascial release, relevant anatomical structures, clinical reasoning and an extensive number of treatment techniques. Lab sections include both surface and internal vaginal/rectal techniques. The goal is to provide the clinician that is currently treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction additional tools that they can immediately incorporate into their clinical practice.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.
Seminar content is targeted to physical therapists. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Clinical continuing education should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.

Material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and evaluation for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures. Participants will be exposed to multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction throughout this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate myofascial based treatment into an existing clinical program
- Fascia is the ubiquitous connective tissue that permeates the entire body forming a continuous three-dimensional matrix of structural support and communication (1).
- The fascial system consists of four concentric layers; the “myofascia” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system (2).
- Patients with chronic pelvic pain are more likely to have abnormal musculoskeletal findings on examination (3,4).
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal and rectal techniques, Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular, intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition as a modality for shutting off trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity -Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping) -Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Read more about What to Expect During Courses with Internal Lab Work.

This continuing education course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the connective tissue that interplays within the muscular system of the trunk, hip, pelvis and lower extremity as it relates to treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction. This course is geared toward the therapist that wishes to integrate a variety of manual therapy techniques for treating the myofascial system. Material will be presented that includes the science and evidence behind myofascial release, relevant anatomical structures, clinical reasoning and an extensive number of treatment techniques. Lab sections include both surface and internal vaginal/rectal techniques. The goal is to provide the clinician that is currently treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction additional tools that they can immediately incorporate into their clinical practice.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.
Seminar content is targeted to physical therapists. Content is not intended for use outside the scope of the learner's license or regulation. Clinical continuing education should not be taken by individuals who are not licensed or otherwise regulated, except, as they are involved in a specific plan of care.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

Course Title
Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer: Pelvis and Lower Extremity
Course Description
This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. This continuing education course consists of 2.25 hours of pre-recorded lectures followed by 14 hours of live, interactive remote learning which will be completed by groups meeting at a specific satellite OR self hosted location. The instructor will be presenting to all satellites from a remote location via Zoom. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

Course Title
Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer: Pelvis and Lower Extremity
Course Description
This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. This continuing education course consists of 2.25 hours of pre-recorded lectures followed by 14 hours of live, interactive remote learning which will be completed by groups meeting at a specific satellite OR self hosted location. The instructor will be presenting to all satellites from a remote location via Zoom. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures.

Course Title
Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer: Pelvis and Lower Extremity
Course Description
This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. This continuing education course consists of pre-recorded lectures followed by live, interactive remote learning which will be completed by groups meeting at a specific satellite OR self hosted location. The instructor will be presenting to all satellites from a remote location via Zoom. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of the Myofascial Layer course. A satellite means that participnts will be gathering in a given location and watching the instructor present remotely on the same screen. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location. It is expected that participants will only register for satellites in which they are within driving distance, and adhere to all state and local COVID guidelines, including wearing a mask at all times during the course. The self-hosted option is for those who will be working in pairs or small groups on their own.
Fascia is the ubiquitous tissue that permeates the entire body; it supports and connects all of the other structures found within. The “myofascial” is comprised of those layers of fascia that are associated with the locomotor system. Application of myofascial therapy for pelvic dysfunction is well documented as an effective treatment approach. This treatment requires a detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as palpation skills for assessment of connective tissue mobility, movement asymmetry and tissue tension abnormalities affecting the pelvis and lower extremity and their associated fascial structures
The material will include the science of and evidence behind myofascial based manual therapies with an emphasis on tissue evaluation and clinical reasoning. Multiple approaches for the treatment of fascial dysfunction will be presented in this concepts course so the clinician can easily choose the appropriate technique depending on the tissue of each unique patient. The goal is for the attending therapist to have a variety of skills to incorporate evidence-based myofascial treatment into an existing clinical program.
Lab activities will cover external and internal vaginal or rectal techniques, both male and female clinicians are encouraged to participate. Fascial approaches include a variety of techniques for the abdominal wall, pelvis, hip and lower extremity to include:
-Fascial induction utilizing direct and indirect methods for muscle bellies, intraarticular and
intraosseous structures and multiple layers of the pelvic floor
-Positional inhibition for trigger points, internal and external
-Peripheral nerve mobilizations for pelvis and lower extremity
-Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISTM, Gua Sha)
-Fascial decompression (Cupping)
-Introduction of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure tissue changes
The goal of this course is to provide the clinician who is treating women and men with pelvic dysfunction immediate access to a variety of approaches to the myofascial system. Throughout the course, clinical reasoning and application will be addressed with emphasis on various presentations of frequently seen in patients with primary or secondary pelvic dysfunction.
Special Considerations:
As this course includes extensive lab work, all course attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Vaginal and rectal pelvic floor muscle techniques will be taught in labs. Pregnant women course attendees may participate in a limited capacity and we strongly recommend that pregnant attendees bring a model as vaginal examination and internal myofascial manual therapy prior to 32 weeks gestation is not the common standard of medical practice.
