Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student has acquired knowledge relating to the anatomy, histology and pathophysiology of the muscle fascia. Acquires the ability to palpate the myofascial tissues and is able to detect and treat the presence of fascial alterations
Course contents
The anatomy of fascial architecture
Fascia as an essential element of muscle activity
The anatomical structure of the fascial planes
The identification of the MioFascial Unit
The histology of dense connective tissue and its components
The mechanical and chemical protective function of dense connective tissue
The significance of the TCD alterations
Evaluation and treatment of the patient in fascial manipulation:
The anamnestic collection
The formulation of the hypotheses
Motor evaluation
The palpatory evaluation
The treatment
A first theoretical introductory part will be carried out, even if as interactive as possible between teacher and learners, in order to make the comparison with the concepts learned during the C.d.L.
A substantial practical part will then be carried out, with the treatment of a clinical case in plenary session and related discussion, and a palpatory experience of all the learners on alterations found in the various participants of the class group.
