This one-day workshop will change the way you see and understand the body. It will therefore change the way you work as a massage therapist- with more ease, more accuracy and improved results.

The fact that everything in the body is connected is not new to you but with a few simple movements you will build a clear picture of the direct interactions between one part and another ….
• Why does foot function relate to hip or low back pain?
• How does thoracic mobility affect shoulder mobility?
• What can the neck do to assist the hip?

All of these questions and more will be explored to give you a four-dimensional picture of how the body really moves - and none of it will require a textbook (in fact, they are actively discouraged!).

Simple palpation and movement exercises will let you explore functional movement patterns on yourself and others and, importantly, they will build to a set of powerful hands-on techniques that you can implement in your clinic immediately.

The ‘Active Fascial Release’ (AFR) techniques that you learn will give you tools to work with your clients fully clothed to help assess them prior to a treatment, help them integrate the benefits of your work after a treatment, or they can form the entire treatment themselves.

What is AFR?
Fascia, the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help clients with many chronic conditions, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing ongoing aches and pains.
‘Active Fascial Release’ has been developed and pioneered by James Earls, a specialist structural integration practitioner and Anatomy Trains teacher. It blends his in-depth understanding of myofascial continuities and functional movement principles with hands-on manipulation of the soft tissue to create a variety of therapeutic effects.

What makes ‘Active Fascial Release’ (AFR) special?

• AFR is a new and exciting approach to bodywork

• AFR techniques are versatile and effective and based on a blended understanding of functional and myofascial anatomy.

• Active Fascial Release offers a functional and four-dimensional understanding of the body – an essential aspect of modern manual therapy.

• AFR breaks the ties to and removes the limitations of the treatment table, by bringing the client upright in gravity and into movement.

Sign up for this informative and inspiring day now to ensure your spot! This is an exciting and enjoyable workshop delivered with clarity and with your practice in mind – you will have useful and usable skills by the end of the day.
