Why Fascial Restructuring(TM)?
- Results: FR(TM) provides the therapist with the knowledge and skills to provide profound structural changes to the body, providing their clients with lasting, tangible results.
- All courses are eligible for continuing education credits and a receipt will be provided.
- Grounded in science, but conceptually simple - restore the body to a better-aligned, more fluid, resilient state.
- SAVE YOUR HANDS!!! As it relies heavily on the use of elbows and forearms, it is much easier on the hands than most conventional types of manual therapy, including traditional massage.
- If you are interested in learning more about how to truly heal, as well as preserve your hands and enjoy a life-long career as a therapist, then these workshops will provide you with the knowledge and skills to achieve these goals.
"Fascial restructuring has revolutionized my massage practice and has given me a set of techniques that have helped set me apart from other therapists working in my area."
"It has had an enormous effect on client retention, loyalty and word of mouth advertising by providing effective and longer lasting results for my clients."
"I feel this course can be used by any RMT in any stage of their career. Adam embraces what the current model of understanding of fascia is and applies it in an eye-opening yet easy to use approach that makes it instantly accessible. Even if you have taken fascial courses in the past, with these techniques being low-impact and effortless on a therapists' hands, you won't be disappointed."

PLEASE NOTE: Workshops are currently on pause. I am working on revamping the entire series of workshops, including upgraded manuals, photos and videos. This is a time-consuming process, but workshops will resume better than ever once these improvements have been made. Thank you for your patience.

A series of instructional workshops has been developed to help therapists understand how fascia works and its effect on the body's structure and function, as well as the treatment techniques needed to correct dysfunction. Designed to reverse the effects of severe physical trauma, these techniques act to restore alignment by lengthening adhesion at all levels in the body. Workshops are best suited to therapists with strong palpation and critical thinking skills. Understanding the theories involved will highly influence your approach, especially with respect to fascial assessment, utilization of pressure, direction, sequence and mobilization of all tissues in the body. Included in these instructional workshops will be a series of techniques used to treat every type of fascial restriction, including myofascial, ligamentous, periosteal, articular, visceral and neural/dural, as well as indications/contraindications for treatment. If you are a massage therapist, physiotherapist, athletic therapist or osteopath looking to further enhance your skills in treating clients, this series of instructional workshops is sure to help. Those with prior experience and knowledge of fascial therapy or structural integration will benefit even more, as this type of therapy expands on and integrates the ideas and knowledge of many others in the field.
