TITLE: Chain Reaction: The Role of Fascia and Kinetic Lines in Myofascial Tension and Posture, and Treatment Ideas
HOURS: Wed. Apr. 30th, 8:15am - 12:45pm OR Wed. Apr. 30th, 2:15pm - 6:30pm
WORKSHOP RATING: ★★ DVM/VMD, CCRP, CCRT, CCAT, PT ★★★ VT
MAX PARTICIPANTS: 20 (15 Spaces Remaining)
CONTACT HOURS: (4.0 RACE approval pending)
DESCRIPTION: Kinetic lines connect fascia throughout the body. Myofascial trigger points develop along these lines, causing muscle dysfunction, pain, and chronic postural changes. This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the role of kinetic lines, myofascial tension and treatment options. Lecture will include an introduction to the basic theory of kinetic lines, basic anatomy and introduction to several treatment ideas. Participants will be able to apply these skills during lab hours. Case study will highlight the use of kinetic lines in the treatment of chronic posture after injury.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will gain an understanding of basic kinetic lines
- Participants will learn how to apply kinetic line theory to various rehabilitation cases
- Participants will learn the basics of manual therapy, piezoelectric ESWT, kinesiology taping & cupping
