Course programme

CORE Myofascial Therapy is a system that teaches you strategies for treating three key client categories:

  • Balance and alignment for the active or athletic client

  • Remediation of acute or chronic injuries

  • Treatment for structural concerns

CORE Myofascial Therapy was used as the premier treatment for the British Olympic Team at their 1995 and 1996 Olympic Training Camps held at Florida State University. CORE Bodywork is also the only deep muscle therapy in use by the massage therapy staff at the elite Peaks Resort and Spa in Telluride, Colorado. Active professionals, elite athlete, and anyone wishing to achieve a higher level of mental and physical performance will benefit from CORE Myofascial Therapy.

Techniques and Skills you will learn and be able to apply to your practice immediately:

  • Myofascial Spreading- the foundation technique for full-body treatment

  • Back Specific- a comprehensive routine for deep musculature of Para-spinal, shoulder, and hip regions.

  • CORE Release- intrinsic techniques for balancing the pelvic structures

  • Arthrokinetics- arm and leg joint techniques that reduce ligament tension and holding

  • End Work- a series of techniques that stimulate the parasympathetic response at the close of a session

  • Neurosomatic Awareness Exercises

  • How to combine both passive and active movements into your session for greater results

  • Specific techniques to address and theories of common structural and functional client issues.

  • Ultimately how to eliminate pain, restore movement & limited function, and get long term results.
