You are about to become a leader in understanding and treating the human body through the science of fascia.
Most practitioners have heard of myofascial release, but few are aware of the current research related to the fascial system!
An entirely new model of the human body isn't coming. It is already here and relevant to occupational therapy practice!
Do not get left behind!
This course is foundational to understanding the new model of the human body!
We love creating CE for OTPs and this course is for every OTP in every practice area!
Fascia Changed the Trajectory of My Occupational Therapy Career
As a new graduate I was taught myofascial release techniques by a senior colleague. I was taught to apply them to clients who had pain prior to my OT sessions. This experience confused me since the fascia was something we threw away during our dissection lab and we were not taught anything about its relevance to our practice. The results I was getting astounded me and set me on a 30-year journey in understanding fascia.
I have so much to share.
Not just the research but also how to apply it!
Elevate Your Practice with this Foundational Course
This dynamic online course, designed specifically for occupational therapy professionals (however, we welcome all disciplines), offers a groundbreaking exploration of fascial anatomy and its profound impact on health, wellbeing, and rehabilitation.
In this course, we bridge the gap between traditional therapeutic approaches and the latest fascia research, providing a comprehensive understanding of how this body system influences the human body's function.
Over the duration of the course, participants will be guided through the intricacies of fascial tissue—its composition, functions, and its pivotal role in health and human function.
We're Bringing the Science!
Take a peek at the 15 pages of references we've gathered and used to create this course!
If you were to take the time to read and digest this content, you'd spend weeks, months or even years processing this information costing you more in time than you likely have to spare.
I'm providing you with the details you need to know and blending them with my 30+ years of teaching and practice experience. If you hired and paid me for the hours put into the development of this course, it would cost you thousands!
My mission is to create fascia-informed therapists so I'm putting it out there at a VERY reasonable investment, so it is accessible to as many OTPs as possible.

Integrating Fascia Science into Occupational Therapy Practice: Elevating Our Understanding of the Human Body and Improving Our Outcomes
Learners will be able to:
- Identify and describe the anatomical structures and physiological functions of fascia.
- Explain how fascia contributes to force distribution, coordinated movement, efficient movement, protection, proprioception, interoception, pain perception, and immune system function.
- Implement skills in observing and assessing the condition of the fascia, understanding the implications of fascial tension.
- Develop skills in explaining fascia and its interrelationship with other body systems as means for communicating with patients and other healthcare providers.
- Apply professional and self-care techniques within the occupational therapy scope of practice that focus on fascial health and wellness and support functional outcomes.
Quiz at completion with a certificate for 10 hours of CE.
Current Research
My passion is keeping up with the latest research on fascia that relates to OT practice.
In this course I share the research you need to know to support your practice choices and be able to confidently explain them to your patients and your referral sources.
Practice
I integrate the knowledge of fascia into my clinical practice daily.
In this course I will show you how the science of fascia can guide and support our professional practice choices.
Teaching
Teaching other professionals about fascia and how it can influence our practice is my mission.
My goal is for you to enjoy this course and feel reenergized with a new way to view the human body and your practice.
This information fills in the gaps of our understanding of the human body!
We have other wonderful courses, ready for your viewing pleasure, that will elevate your practice!

Continuing Education Credit FAQ
How many CE hours will I get for completing this course?
We estimate this course will take approximately 10 hours to complete. This includes all the readings, activities and videos.
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes! Once the course and the quiz are completed, you will atomically receive a certificate.
Can I use this course for NBCOT renewal?
Yes! Our courses meet the requirement s for NBCOT Certification Renewal Requirements ID #18 or #19.
Can I use this course to renew my state license?
Our courses meet state licensure requirements. However, these can change, and it is up to each participant to know their requirements. You can find your state by logging into AOTA or searching "your state, occupational therapy, licensure renewal requirements".
The state of Nebraska example:
008.01(B) WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS, WEBINARS AND CONFERENCES. The content of the continuing education activity must relate to occupational therapy whether the subject is research, treatment, documentation, or education management, and includes monitored videotapes, and in-service programs. Documentation must include a certificate of attendance and a program outline or objectives. One hour for each hour of attendance.
Are your courses AOTA approved?
Not at this time. Being an AOTA approved provider is not a requirement for CE credit (and it is a very expensive process). As a small CE provider, we do hope to go through this process in the near future but for now we want to keep creating great courses!
