Fw: Vancouver Fascial Manipulation lecture/demo

[Guest guest]

Hi all:Here is a great opportunity to learn more about Fascial Manipulation without having to travel to Italy. I attended this lecture at the Fascia Research Congress in Amsterdam last year and it resulted in my taking the courses, so beware.....RodRodney G. , DCTillamook Natural Health Center309 Laurel Ave.Tillamook, or 97141503-842-6532-----Forwarded Message-----

Hi Rodney,

This is the info for Vancouver. Your answers to colleagues sound

good. As soon as we have dates for US I'll let you know.

The Hosting Sponsor of Fascia Research Congress 2012-, The Massage

Therapists' Association of British Columbia (MTABC), is bringing Dr.

Stecco and Ann Day, PT to Vancouver!

The MTABC will hold this ONE day lecture /

demonstration TWICE:

Saturday November 6, 2010, and again

on Sunday November 7, 2010.

One Day Lecture / Demonstration

The Fascial Manipulation© Technique and its Biomechanical Model

-- A Guide to the Human Fascial System.

Presenters:

Stecco, MD, Ospedale Civile, Padova, Italy. Dr.

Stecco is a medical doctor, researcher and author. Dr. Stecco will

present Fascial Manipulation© which is a manual therapy

developed by his father Luigi Stecco, an Italian physiotherapist

from the north of Italy. This method has evolved over the last 30

years through study and practice in the treatment of a vast

caseload of musculoskeletal problems. It focuses on the fascia, in

particular the deep muscular fascia, including the epimysium and

the retinacula and considers that the myofascial system is a

three-dimensional continuum. Dr. Stecco spoke at the Fascia

Research Congress in Amsterdam last year.

Ann Day, PT, from Adelaide, Australia, is now living in

Padova, Italy. Ms. Day works mostly in the Orthopedic field and

specializes in connective tissue massage. She has explored various

forms of therapeutic exercise in her field. Ms. Day has been

involved in Fascial Manipulation since 1999 and ran a course at

the Fascia Research Congress in Amsterdam last year.

Lecture Outline...Presenters will:

* Outline the anatomical research that has verified and

modified the anatomical basis of the biomechanical model currently

applied in Fascial Manipulation©

* Introduce and explain the basic principles of Fascial

Manipulation© (myofascial unit, centre of coordination, centre

of perception).

* Explain the specific clinical assessment process via

illustration of the Assessment Chart and the objective examination

for the analysis of movement on the spatial planes.

* Demonstrate the application of this technique in a clinical

setting.

The MTABC will hold this ONE day lecture /

demonstration TWICE: Once on Nov 6/10, and again on Nov

7/10.

Venue: Vancouver - SFU Harbour Centre Downtown

Campus

Cost: $175 for either Saturday, Nov. 6 or Sunday,

Nov 7

Time: 9 am - 4pm

Lecture Description

This lecture will illustrate new studies of the gross and

histological anatomy of the human fasciae, and explain the

biomechanical model for the human fascial system currently applied

in the manual technique known as Fascial Manipulation©. The

model represents a three dimensional interpretation of the fascial

system. Its hypothetical foundations are fruit of more than thirty

years of analysis of anatomical texts and clinical practice. More

recently, dissections of unembalmed bodies have provided

anatomical verification of numerous hypotheses including the

fascial continuity between different body segments via

myotendinous expansions and the possible distribution of tensional

forces.

This workshop will also propose new studies concerning the

histological characteristics of superficial and deep fasciae

(fibre content, structural conformation, and innervation) and

debate the role of deep fascia in proprioception. The Fascial

Manipulation© technique is based on the concept of myofascial

units (mf units) united in myofascial sequences, and involves

manual friction over specific points (called Centres of

coordination and Centres of fusion) on the deep muscular fascia.

This underlying rationale and the resultant analytical process

guides the therapist in the combination of points to be treated

and allows therapists to work at a distance from the site of pain,

which is often inflamed due to non-physiological tension.

Musculoskeletal disorders commonly treated include low back pain;

tendinitis, sprains, peripheral nerve compressions, and neck pain

syndromes, whereas visceral dysfunctions can include gastritis,

irritable colon syndrome, constipation, and dysmenorrhoea.
