What You Will Learn

• Understand how emotional stress & fascial stiffness can both influence each other
• Being able to better distinguish when a specific postural deviation is mostly due to muscular activation patterns & when it is mostly due to fascial form & structural changes
• Apply fascia-informed clinical reasoning
• Being able to recognise when an increased body-wide pressure sensitivity may be a partial consequence of a post-traumatic stress disorder
• Understanding how fascial fibroblasts act as mediators between the Autonomic Nervous System & immune regulation

Brief description: 

Thanks to high-resolution ultrasound imaging & other technological advances in recent years, many of the fascia-related insights & observations of A.T. Still & of other osteopathic pioneers could be objectively confirmed. 

New discoveries will be shared in this webinar, which include the influence of different binding properties of hyaluronan & its influence on tissue densification & fibrosis, the influence of PIEZO2 receptors on proprioception & idiopathic scoliosis, the expression of fasciacytes & telocytes in different fascial tisssues, & the pro- & anti-inflammatory effects of different modalities of mechanical tissue stimulation. 

Finally, suggestions will be shared how to stay up-to-date on the rapid advances in this dynamic international field.
