New Look

With this issue of the MFRmail Newsletter, I hope you enjoy the new look, both of the Newsletter as well as the website.  The new website will be up and running within the next week. MyofascialResource.com will have a whole new format and appearance. Please take a look and give me your feedback.


The Psoas

As Myofascial Release and Body Work Practitioners, the Psoas is a vital part of many of our practices. As many of you have been made aware, Robert Schleip has published a wealth of articles on fascia and body work. One article that I've recently read digs into the specifics of the psoas and teaches how to use the Thomas Test to find additional information besides the presence of hip flexor tightness.

Throughout my years as a therapist, and in my Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminars, I have emphasized a deep model of evaluation. Schleip's article allows us to understand the deeper aspects of soft tissue tightness.




Hershey, PA:  November 5-7, 2010

Sponsored by: John Williams, LMT and the Pain Free Institute of Health and Wellness in Hershey, PA.

I have recently updated and expanded this class to 20 contact hours over two and one-half days and it is packed with techniques, theory, and practical application. Building upon a deep model of evaluation, you will leave this seminar ready to use Myofascial Release on your first day back to work. NCBTMB CE hours continuing education credits are available. For full details, please check out the Seminars Page on my website.


Sponsoring a seminar is an excellent way to bring quality continuing education to your facility or area. Financial incentives for sponsoring a class are outlines in the downloadable information packet (see below). Seminars can be modified to meet the needs of your facility. Email us for additional information or with questions.

Many of you may have already read this blog post I made recently. It has received quite a few comments, not only on my blog, but on LinkedIn and Massage and Bodywork Professionals. There is often much more to improving posture than just strengthening. Soft tissue tightness plays an even more important role. But, the influence of emotions often comes into play whenever one addresses posture.

Read my blog post and feel free to make a comment.
