Fascia- Informed Professional DevelopMENT
Translating fascia science into action.
Hi, I’m Amy, your partner on this exciting journey to becoming fascia-informed and reenergizing your practice.
As a new graduate, I was taught myofascial 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 seeking out the research, learning about fascia, and evolving my skills.
The research is pouring out, and healthcare must catch up! I have so much to share about the new science of the fascia and also how to apply it!
I’ve been educating adult learners for nearly three decades, and I apply all the science and techniques I teach in my courses with my clients every single day.
Let us translate decades of fascia research for you and your practice.

The Occupational Therapy Practitioner’s Guide to Myofascial Self-Treatment
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 standing, sitting, or in bed.
Evaluating and Treating Clients with TMJ Dysfunction for Occupational Therapy Practitioners
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) affects over 80 million adults and over 8 million children in the United States. We need more practitioners who can treat this often-debilitating condition.
The occupations of eating, talking, laughing, intimacy, and more that TMD directly affects are some of our most valued and repetitive activities of daily living. When they are limited from TMD, this can result in a decline in physical and mental health for all ages.
Move Better to Feel Better and Live Your Best Life: How to Get and Stay Functionally Fit as You Age

What Therapists are saying about Becoming Fascia-Informed
The Importance of Posture
I treat everything from orthopedic to neurological, pelvic health to lymphedema and cardiology/oncology patients. I find that when they work on posture and breathing, their overall pain level goes down and they have less overall issues.

Fascia is Important!
This was a wonderful course. It gave me a good understanding of the role fascia plays in our bodies and how important it is to consider the fascia in our bodies and in the bodies of our patients when it comes to pain, tightness, mobility, and function.

You’ll have an entirely new view of the human body including how you approach your evaluation and your intervention.
Do you have a YouTube Channel?
