For yoga and Pilates teachers, personal trainers, coaches, manual therapists, clinicians, and mental-health professionals.

Myofascial Massage Certification Training
This course teaches evidence based self-myofascial release (self-massage) principles and practices to enhance mobility, reduce stress, transform pain, and build body awareness. It prepares you to program SMFR rollouts for individuals, groups, and special populations.

Training overview

Systematically tour best practices for each part of the body and differentiate applications for a variety of clientele.
