About Course
In this webinar, we will explore the connection between the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction and the myofascia and trigger points that can lead to pain. We will delve into the importance of understanding dysfunctional myofascial chains and how foam rolling can be an effective tool in addressing them. We will review evidence-based research on foam rolling, including the types of rollers available, their functions, and the benefits of incorporating them into rehabilitation programs. Additionally, we will cover the techniques for foam rolling major muscle groups to improve muscle length and mobility, and address trigger points to add another effective tool to your toolbox for rehabilitation.
By the end of this webinar, you will have gained valuable knowledge and skills to better serve your clients and patients in their journey towards improved health and wellness.
