Introducing the Myofascial Sports Therapy (MST) Course

 
 

Training for professional therapists to seamlessly incorporate:

  • Myofascial Decompression (MFD)

  • Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

  • Anatomy Trains Fascial Patterns

By integrating these advanced techniques, students will gain the skills to:

  • Create customized treatment plans for athletes of all levels.

  • Deliver measurable improvements in posture, mobility, and performance.

  • Address both chronic and acute tissue issues effectively

 
 

This innovative training program is designed to take your treatment skills to the next level!

 

MST Level 1

8 CREDIT HOURS

Upper Torso Patterns,
Postures and Protocols

6241 Westgate Rd, Suite 100, Raleigh, NC

This section focuses on understanding and addressing the unique fascial patterns and postural imbalances in the upper body, including the shoulders, neck, chest, thoracic and lumbar.

Students will learn:

  • How to assess and identify common postural deviations like forward head posture, rounded shoulders, thoracic kyphosis, and posterior oblique sling.

  • Techniques to target and address tension and densification in the upper torso using Myofascial Decompression (MFD) to improve mobility and reduce pain.

  • Application of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to reduce fascial densifications and enhance tissue recovery

  • How to integrate science-based protocols to optimize shoulder function, improve thoracic spine mobility, and enhance upper body movement efficiency.


MST Level 2

8 CREDIT HOURS

Lower Torso Patterns,
Postures and Protocols

6241 Westgate Rd, Suite 100, Raleigh, NC

This section dives into the fascial relationships and imbalances affecting the lower body, including the hip, low back, knee and ankle. 

Students will learn:

  • How to assess and address common lower body patterns, such as anterior pelvic tilt, hip imbalances, and imbalances that create knee pain.

  • The strategic use of Myofascial Decompression (MFD) to release deep fascial densifications and restore natural movement patterns.

  • Techniques with IASTM to enhance tissue pliability and support recovery from overuse injuries like IT band syndrome or hamstring strains.

  • Evidence-based protocols to correct postural imbalances, improve hip and pelvic alignment, and increase lower body strength and mobility.
