2013 Trainings Announced; Courses in Vegas, Boston & Dallas
After studying and teaching many soft tissue techniques, I've realized the importance of the most ubiquitous soft tissue in the body, the fascial system. Several years ago, I found a manual technique developed by Luigi Stecco, a PT from Centrale di Zugliano (Vicenza), Italy. He developed a method of evaluation and treatment that has proven to be extremely successful in the treatment of a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
His children, Carla and Antonio Stecco who are MDs, have carried out extensive research and have enhanced the pre-existing biomechanical model already elaborated by their father to provide new histological and anatomical data regarding the fascial system.
I introduced Fascial Manipulation© (FM) treatment to the U.S. with Antonio, Luigi's son, in 2010. I am more excited about my current results in relieving people's acute and chronic pain using this treatment than I have ever been. It is my pleasure to announce our Fascial Manipulation© Workshop dates for 2013
Part I
Practitioners will learn current information about fascia with particular emphasis on myofascial units (MFU) and myofascial sequences based on the anatomy of the fascial system. Stecco found points called Centers of Coordination (CC) that are responsible for the normal function of related monoarticular and biarticular muscles. Treatment of the CCs in the MFU will allow normal movement of the related joint and eliminate the pain. Densified CCs alter muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs and other mechanoreceptors resulting in incoordination of the muscles and pain. The area of treatment is often not at the pain location.
After Part 1, Why Part 2?
Training Fees
Part 1A & 1B Only: $1,650.00
Part 1A/1B and Part 2A/2B: $2,970.00
If you attended the course in 2010, 2011 or 2012 and want to retake one of the sections, pay 50%. Email us for details.

Who Will Benefit?
Knowledge of these areas will be valuable for the practitioners thinking of adding soft tissue treatment to their practice and of particular value to those using Graston Technique®, Active Release Technique®, FAKTR-PM, Structural Integrationists and anyone using their hands or instruments to heal.
I continue to be excited about teaching a soft tissue method in the U.S. that is currently being taught in Europe and around the world. Luigi's text was translated into its fifth language with three additional languages pending. I am currently editing the English version of Carla's next book, Atlas of the Human Fascial System. Fascial research is increasing exponentially. Join us!
