In the Level 2 Fascial Manipulation® course (FM-2), participants expand on their understanding of the biomechanical model to treat patients with multi-segmental dysfunctions more efficiently. This course consists of two three-days sessions that need to be taken within 6-12 weeks of each other to assure a good understanding. As part of the learning process, Level 2 students will be required to present assessment charts of cases treated after Level 1 for discussion. Course FM-2a will focus on the role of Centers of Fusion as part of the biomechanical model and the formation of Myofascial Diagonals. Elements of comparative anatomy studies will be introduced to assist the evaluation of adaptive compensations within the fascial system. The involvement of fascia in motor control will discussed and the assessment chart used in Fascial Manipulation® will be updated with new elements.
Course FM-2b will introduce the Myofascial Spirals to complete the understanding of complex movement patterns and mechanisms and the latest fascial research projects will be presented. Numerous treatment demonstrations and practice will highlight this course as comparative assessment of Centers of Coordination and Centers of Fusion, Assessment Chart analysis, clinical reasoning, hands-on skills, and treatment strategies will be emphasized.
Learning Objectives Level II:
At the conclusion of the course, the participant should be able to:
- Understand the role of retinacula in proprioception and pain. (Knowledge)
- Differentiate between spiral and diagonal motor disorders based on the assessment process. (Analysis)
- Define a correct treatment strategy to restore the biomechanics of the human body. (Synthesis)
- Evaluate the quality of the retinacula through palpatory verification and treat the appropriate points (Center of Fusions) by restoring the gliding of the retinacula. (Evaluation)
