The course will strengthen the understanding of fascia as a continuous, three-dimensional connective-tissue system, including the roles of fibroblasts, collagen, elastin and ground substance. It covers mechanotransduction, fascial mechanoreceptors and proprioception and how sustained, sensitive MFR influences tissue tone, movement awareness and autonomic regulation.

The practical content focuses on assessment-informed and client-centred techniques for the pectoral fascia, posterior and lateral ribs, thoracolumbar fascia, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, temporalis fascia, and atlas-occiput region. There are approaches for the lumbosacral and thoracolumbar regions, upper thorax, thoracic facet mobility, pelvic lift, sacral ligaments, sacral nutation/ counternutation and rib mobilisation, including first-rib techniques.
