Dates: TBD
Location: New Jersey
Credits & Approval #: Awaiting Approval

This two day course includes hands-on practical training and didactic lecture instruction to effectively integrate Delos Therapy into clinical management. The content of the course includes: (1) The science and properties of fascia, (2) Understanding fascial adhesions, (3) an introduction to oscillating pressure and shear, and (4) philosophy and application of Delos Therapy.  

Course Outcomes

At the completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the unique anatomical, viscosity and fibrotic properties of fascia.
  2. Identify fascial restrictions through palpation and patient feedback.
  3. Apply the Delos Therapy method of precise, sustained pressure to resolve fascial adhesions.
  4. Develop treatment strategies for common injuries and performance limitations.
  5. Integrate Delos Therapy into their professional practice for superior outcomes in pain reduction, mobility, and performance.
