Course content

This course is an intensive course where theory lessons, demonstrations, and practice between participants alternate throughout the day. It is intended for physiotherapists/osteopaths/ medical doctors and other registered health practitioners with a good working knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology and notions of postural analysis.

Participants will learn to evaluate musculoskeletal dysfunctions, with specific reference to the human fascial system, and to apply the Fascial Manipulation technique as taught by Luigi Stecco. Lessons include anatomy and physiology of the fascial system, explanation of the biomechanical model used in application of this technique and the anatomical localisation of key fascial points. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of musculoskeletal dysfunctions (from anamnesis to hypothesis to verification and treatment) together with methodology and strategies of treatment.

The course consist in 2 Levels:

Level I is scheduled from June 14, 2010 to 19 June 2010.

Level II is scheduled from September 20, 2010 to September 25, 2010.

Each Level is 6 days for a total of 12 Days The 6^th day of each level of this course is a half-day (9am – 1p.m). Each day begins at 8.30 until 18.00, with an hour for lunch and 2 coffee/tea breaks of 15 mins. (mid-morning and mid-afternoon).

The two Levels are interrelated. Participants will need to attend both Levels for a complete qualification in Fascial Manipulation.
