Fascial Foundation Course

This exciting and unique course will look at the major techniques and approaches for working effectively with fascia including indirect myofascial release (MFR), direct structural integration approaches, cranial work and visceral manipulation. You will learn how to effectively incorporate this work into your existing techniques to enhance your results and reduce client pain quickly and easily.

This course is available as a stand alone module or as an effective foundation course for the subsequent 2 follow on Jing modules Structural Fascial Body work’ (3 days) and ‘Myofascial release – indirect approaches’ (3 days). These further courses explore different avenues to in-depth fascial work.

Myofascial Release

Pre requisite: Fascial foundation course

On this 3 day course you will take your existing myofascial techniques further.

LEARN

• Further application of effective MFR techniques including cross hand stretches, dural tube release, transverse fascial plane releases, arm and leg pulls, psoas releases and scar tissue work.
• How you can effectively integrate these techniques into existing clinical remedial work to get quicker results.
• Skills that will enhance your existing clinical work and allow you to work more effectively with common pain conditions, emotional trauma and systemic conditions that do not respond to traditional massage approaches.

Structured Fascial Bodywork

Structural Integration is a unique way of working with the body, usually over a series of 10-12 sessions, to open and release patterns of strain that develop in the body’s myofascial web. Originally derived from Rolfing, the work has been developed and popularized by several leading international body workers, adding new insights on how to realign and balance the structures of the body.

LEARN

• A dynamic form of bodywork that involves deep tissue work with active movement.
• Body reading: recognizing and analyzing patterns of pain and strain on the body, including habitual compensation configurations.
• The difference between direct and indirect myofascial work and how to combine both within your practice.
• The importance of ‘listening touch’, palpatory sensitivity and body mechanics.
• New insights into the anatomy of the myofascial system.
• Bodywork techniques and “tools” you can take away and integrate immediately into your existing practice.

Anatomy Trains® with KMI

Anatomy Trains® map the ‘anatomy of connection’, the whole-body fascial and myofascial linkages. This training gives you a new understanding of whole-body patterning in posture and function – the interplay of movement and stability. Anatomy Trains leads to new holistic strategies for health professionals, movement teachers, and athletes to resolve complex postural and movement patterns.

This course is taught by head lecturers from the KMI school of Structural Integration and is an excellent complement to the practical hands-on fascial work taught by Jing.

Visceral Manipulation

This series of new and exciting courses aims to introduce participants to the work of French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral who noted the importance of organs’ motion in maintaining their physiological function. He has developed gentle and precise techniques to locate and treat any restrictions that prevent this fullness of motion. The principles of these techniques are easy to learn and integrate into many body therapies.

These courses are suitable for any qualified bodyworkers. They are taught by Jo Crill, a Chartered Physiotherapist who has worked with these techniques for the last 9 years, studying with both the Upledger Institute and Jean-Pierre himself.

LEARN

• An understanding of the importance of organ mobility or inherent motility.
• An introduction to the general listening and local listening techniques that help us to determine the precise location of restrictions.
• An understanding of the basic concepts of how to treat visceral restrictions.
• Anatomical reviews to ensure you appreciate the size and position of each of the organs we will be working with.
• A range of sophisticated and effective techniques to work with organ pathologies, effects of trauma and stubborn musculo-skeletal complaints that do not respond to traditional techniques.
