Massage and Manual Therapy Techniques for Myofascial Release

Unbinding the Body's Hidden Stories, Restoring the Fluid Dance Within

This hands-on intensive introduces massage students and professionals to the foundations of myofascial release (MFR)—a gentle but powerful manual therapy technique that targets connective tissue restrictions to relieve chronic pain and improve function. Emphasizing both direct and indirect techniques, this course explores fascial anatomy, manual listening, tissue traction, and clinical application for common muscular holding patterns. Students will gain practical skills and theoretical understanding to integrate myofascial release into their massage sessions or use it as a standalone therapeutic modality. https://brightmoon-curriculum-6glia87.gamma.site/mass-0210
