MYOFASCIAL RELEASE WORKSHOP
With Megan Ciccolo
Fascia is the most important body part you've never heard of! Every cell in your body from your head to your toes is supported by this connective tissue. Inflammation caused by prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, trauma, or surgery can make fascia harden, leading to pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Unfortunately, these restrictions often don't appear on standard diagnostic tests, leaving many people unsure about the source of their issues. Myofascial release is a technique that applies sustained pressure to the fascia, triggering a biochemical reaction that restores it to its natural, healthy state. The beauty of this approach is that it treats the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms, often leading to remarkable outcomes. The results can feel almost magical!
This workshop will be led by Dr. Megan Ciccolo, a physical therapist with 18 years of experience specializing in myofascial release. With a deep understanding of the fascial system, she helps her patients return to pain-free, active lives, even when more traditional treatments have failed. Megan's ultimate goal is empower her patients to become their own therapists. Visit Megan’s website restrictions-released.com for more information about myofascial release and her work.
Now you have the opportunity to learn how to become your own therapist as well!
In this workshop you will learn:
About the emerging research of fascia and its critical role in the body
What causes fascial restrictions
How to identify fascial restrictions
How to start a myofascial release self-treatment program to decrease your pain
How emotions are stored in the fascia
