In this short course we will present the fundamental concepts and strategies of SMT which is inspired by the work of Dr Ida P Rolf, joint ROM techniques, functional movements and vibrational bodywork. We will look at the anatomy of fascia and fascial lines and how to create structural balance in the human body. Learning outcome: After completion participants will understand fundamental concepts of fascial work, fascial anatomy and lines, postural and functional movement assessments and hands on techniques including "scooping" (opening) fascia in synergy with active client movements.
