COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This workshop is designed to promote awareness, understanding and treatment of the human myofascial system. The instruction is a progressive hands-on approach both on land and in the pool. The aquatic myofascial techniques have a systematic application for treatment. Learn skills to observe, feel, and mobilize restricted tissue using aquatic techniques that are painless and promote increased circulation of blood and fluids, thus increasing tissue elasticity and joint mobility.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

 

·         Study the effects of using immersion to assist in diagnosis and trace the pathways of myofacial disturbances in the body.

·         Examine patient positioning and therapist contact to promote relaxation and tissue awareness.

·         Demonstrate knowledge and the use of turbulence, rebounding, vibration, aquatic elongation and stretch techniques, buoyancy-assisted release, and buoyancy-resisted release.

·         Explore the unwinding process through known aquatic techniques.
