Who should take this workshop?
This workshop is extremely beneficial for any heath care professionals dealing with injuries to soft tissue. Health care providers such as physiotherapists, massage therapists, athletic therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths can benefit from this workshop.

Workshop Details
This practical hands-on workshop is delivered in a unique, learner-centered way. A brief review of the anatomy and physiology of soft tissue, and the changes in tissue resulting from injury, is followed by an explanation of how the application of soft tissue release techniques can achieve positive results quickly and permanently. The two basic movements of STR are taught and then participants move into practical sessions, applying STR techniques to different body areas.

The workshop is organized to help the participants learn the concepts and deliver the techniques in a way that is specific to their size, posture and clientele.

After completing the workshop participants will have the confidence and skills to properly apply the techniques to their clients immediately.

Course Content
This course covers the entire body. Concepts build on participants’ knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy, and are presented in a way which is quickly grasped by all. Some of the conditions included in the course are:
