RST: A Brief Introduction

Course overview

This 2-hour program looks at the underlying principles and specific methods of Residual Strain Therapy (RST), a gentle and powerful way to release restrictions in fascia (in muscle and other tissue). The program is a fascinating deep dive into the world of fascia for any massage therapist, as well as an introduction to RST for those interested in exploring further training in the technique. We will take a deep look at how fascia works, and why it is a major cause of pain, stiffness, and other problems. RST assessment and treatment will be demonstrated, as well as some of the training exercises that build sensitivity to fascial tone.
