Functional assessments refer to postural problems and corrections working with myofascia in movement.

Disclosure statements

Relevance of program:

It is relevant to massage therapy because it is teaching massage therapists hands on skills working with fascia and muscles that are safe and within our scope of practice. Massage therapists do not diagnose, prescribe or treat medical illness or move osseous tissue. Massage is not a substitute for medical care. Proper draping and/or suitable clothing are always used to cover areas outside of our scope.

The purpose is to teach course participants safe postural myofascial techniques and assessments, to know where to work or not to work, that can positively affect posture and reduce myofascial tension in the client’s body.

The intent of this modality is to teach course participants to work with both the connective tissue fascia and muscles myo in a safe way, and to understand the role of fascia and its relation to the muscles in the body during movement.
