MANUAL THERAPY FOUNDATION OF INDIA ® Organises 4 - Days Hands on Manual Therapy Workshop on “MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUES, MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TECHNIQUES AND HIGH VELOCITY THRUST TECHNIQUES” Mangalore (March 22nd – March 25th, 2012) Workshop Philosophy This Manual Therapy programme aims to facilitate a clinical approach presented from a broad perspective with respect for the integration of articular, muscular, fascial and neurogenic structures. Emphasis is given to the new insights of connective tissue.  Functional anatomy and kinesiology of the ventral and dorsal slings are intensively studied and the role of fascia structures are discussed in a new perspective. This MTFI workshop provides a critical insight into the complex anatomy and function of the musculo- fascia-skeletal system. The course facilitates analysing the mechanism behind possible dysfunctions, providing new clinical skills to enhance rehabilitation strategies and to treat the dysfunctions.
