Upgrade your hands-on skills with this practical, results-driven course designed for licensed massage therapists. In this 16-hour continuing education training, you’ll learn the essential foundations of myofascial release—how to assess fascial restrictions, follow fascial lines, and apply safe, effective techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain patterns from head to toe. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, you’ll build confidence in treatment sequencing, pressure dosing, and region-specific protocols for the neck, shoulders, back, hips, legs, and feet. You’ll leave with ready-to-use techniques you can immediately apply in clinical, spa, or rehabilitation settings.

Includes: Myofascial Release Tools
This continuing education course provides therapists with a clinically grounded approach to myofascial release, emphasizing the strategic use of cupping and scraping (gua sha) tools to address chronic pain, myofascial restrictions, and muscle dysfunction. Participants will learn how to integrate instrument-assisted techniques within an assessment-driven framework, allowing for precise, targeted, and results-oriented interventions.
The course focuses on safe application, tissue response interpretation, pressure modulation, and clinical decision-making to ensure effective outcomes while minimizing strain on the practitioner. By incorporating tools that reduce physical workload, therapists will enhance treatment efficiency, improve patient results, and support long-term career sustainability.
Designed for clinicians seeking to elevate both skill and reasoning, this course strengthens assessment capabilities, expands therapeutic options, and promotes professional longevity through injury-preventive practice strategies.
