In this symposium we will review the Fascial system as it relates to individuals with atypical posture and movement. When atypical posture and movement alter the natural and efficient alignment of the skeleton, the fascial system adapts by contracting and bonding. The primary focus of this workshop will be on the hands on treatment, using MFR addressing the musculoskeletal system that is needed prior to facilitation of movement. As therapists we can improve our clinical decision making skills by forming and testing hypotheses regarding critical impairments when treating individuals diagnosed with multiple system impairments such as cerebral palsy, stroke, congenital hypotonicity, and other neuromotor impairments.
This material is useful for Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists and Assistants working with either the adult or pediatric populations.
This course can be applied toward NDTA re-certification
