San Francisco, CA Level 2 Advanced with MFD Precision Pump

Advanced Myofascial Decompression (MFD) Techniques: Precision Pump Applications
 
Date: Sunday, August 4, 2024
Time: 8:00 am - 5:00pm
Location: 1500 Owens St, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94110
 
Build on your Level 1 foundation and achieve MFD mastery with our Level 2 course. Designed as a seamless progression, this advanced program deepens your understanding of the precision MFD pump, targeting specific tissue layers with expertise. Uncover advanced applications in lymphatic flow, muscle inhibition, and kinesthetic awareness, blending MFD techniques with neuromuscular re-education principles. Navigate through the intricacies of treating specific sport populations and applying intermediate re-education in our Level 2 course.
 
Course tuition includes the new MFD Precision Pump (distributed on the day of the course). 

Prerequisite: Completion of Level 1 MFD course, live or online.
 
Continuing Education Approvals (8 contact hours):
California Physical Therapy Board
Board of Certification (BOC) Category A
National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB)
 
Course Objectives:
Understand how to operate the precision MFD pump at specific mmHg to target specific tissue layers, and visualize the imaging research that matches these recomendations.
Understand how to utilize MFD to assist with lymphatic flow and dysfunction.
Understand the basic principles of muscle inhibition, and how to utilize MFD for inhibitory influence to promote improvements in coordination and movement efficiency.
Understand the basic principles of kinesthetic awareness and proprioception and how MFD is used with kinesthetic awareness cueing to improve movement efficiency.
Be able to combine MFD techniques (extensibility, inhibition, and kinesthetic awareness) with neuromuscular re-education principles to build a program for specific sports populations.
Demonstrate in lab manual applications of MFD to treat specific sport populations, including cyclists, runners, swimmers, golfers, contact sport athletes & throwing athletes.
Administer specific intermediate neuromuscular re-education principles after MFD to restore optimal function, as demonstrated in the lab.
 
Upon completion of the Level 2 course, there is an opportunity to take a certification exam. Exam components include a 40-question multiple-choice design with practical as a lab portion.
