OVERVIEW

Myofascial Release: Unlock the Body's Hidden Tissue Layer

Fascia β€” the connective tissue web that surrounds every muscle, bone, organ and nerve β€” is now recognised as one of the primary drivers of chronic pain and movement restriction. Myofascial Release targets this tissue directly, producing results that joint mobilisation and exercise alone cannot achieve.

This course delivers three complete techniques in a single programme: manual myofascial release, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM), and cupping therapy. You receive three separate certificates and 70 hours of CPD credit β€” making it one of the most efficient investments in your continuing education.

Developed by Dr. Joe RosΓ‘rio, PhD, and delivered by our expert clinical faculty, this course combines the original approaches of Andrew Taylor Still and Ida Rolf with modern fascial science and clinical methodology. By the end of the course, you will be applying all three techniques with confidence in your own practice.

What Alumni Say

"

The myofascial course completely changed how I treat chronic low back pain. The IASTM techniques alone have given me results I was not getting with any other approach. Highly recommended.

"

Three complete techniques in two days sounds too good to be true β€” but the pre-course online content prepares you so thoroughly that the in-person day is 100% hands-on practice. Exceptional format.
