My Journey
For much of my early career I thought myofascial release was the only way to affect the fascial system. As I learned more about fascia science, a whole new world of assessment and intervention strategies opened up and most of them don’t require the use of any manual techniques.
If you are a therapist like me, who has learned myofascial release to help clients, that's fantastic—but it's only the beginning. Stopping at learning just one technique means missing out on many other hands-on and hands-off assessment and intervention strategies available to you and your clients. With a truly fascia science-informed approach, you can address a wide range of issues beyond just pain and mobility.
Believing that hands-on myofascial techniques are the only way to affect the fascia is a misconception. While these techniques can be extremely effective when applied skillfully, the real missing link in healthcare is the fascial system itself, not any specific technique.
My mission is to make the inclusion of the fascial system in our evaluation and intervention planning as commonplace as the inclusion of the muscular or nervous system. By broadening our understanding and approach, we can unlock new potential in client care and improve outcomes across the board.

Why do occupational therapy practitioners need this course?
Pain is the top reason given for seeking health care (NCCIH, 2021).
- Pain is one of the primary reasons clients refuse therapy.
- Pain slows progress towards goals.
- Some clients can't take or don't want to take pain medications.
- Pain is a huge problem!
My clients love having the ability to use these techniques and be less reliant on medications and be less reliant on me.
You can use these techniques in any setting and with almost any client. Many of the techniques can be done in standing, sitting or in bed.
When we can offer something more natural that empowers our clients to manage their own pain, we should do it.

As an occupational therapist with thirty years of experience helping people eliminate pain through myofascial release, I'm excited to offer this information online to everyone! I've been teaching this class in person for years. Over and over, I hear how much people love it and continue to use the techniques at home to keep their bodies flexible and pain-free.
Here's what past clients have said about my myofascial self-care stretching workshop:
- "I really feel relaxed. So glad I found out about tight fascia!"
- "I now understand how to use all the extra props, and I know why I have tender spots on my body."
- "This class taught me so much more about stretching out my body. I would recommend it to anyone to help relieve pain."
- "Very easy to follow and extremely effective in a very short time."
- "Wonderful workshop, [I] loved being able to control the use of the props myself and cover every area of the body. I loved learning all about the fascial system and then being able to apply that info with the awesome active stretches. Fantastic from start to finish."
- "Awesome tips and instructions for releasing the fascia. I found lots of trouble spots and areas I didn’t even know were tight! I feel like I will sleep like a baby tonight."
- "This class provides so many easy-to-do, at-home stretches to help relieve tension and tightness in the whole body."
- "I ran 7 miles before I came. My hips and lower back hurt. I feel one thousand times better and no longer hurt."
- "I didn’t realize there was a better way than the foam roller! The balls in the bag are great!"
- "I enjoyed learning ways to incorporate these stretches into my daily life in order to be able to continue the techniques I learned even with a busy small family. Thank you!"
- "Loved it. I have had chronic pain for years, and this helps alleviate it considerably!"
