Description

Over 19 hours of online content, with the added value of a 250 page eBook.

Functional Soft Tissue Transformation (FSTT) is a comprehensive movement testing and treating process that centers on the individuality of each client.

This specialized certification course takes a different approach from traditional structure-based protocols. It is individually context-dependent. The structure is respected, and individual function drives the process.

The intention of the FSTT process is NOT to train a practitioner to fix parts or pathologies ... Instead, to identify and improve dysfunction and create better efficiency in movement/function... there Is a BIG DIFFERENCE

Manual applications shared in FSTT are simply mechanical loads that are applied to the tissues to create positive adaptation in movement/function.

Utilizing the Global / Local / Global spectrum method, learn how to identify abnormal tensions in the body, select appropriate loading for testing and treating, create a plan to improve energy efficient movement integrity.

Combining the principles of Applied Functional ScienceĀ® with your existing skill sets and experience, learn how to take an individualized approach to further enhancing client function.

Whether you are just starting on your journey of Applied Functional ScienceĀ® or are looking to continue growing, FSTT will provide a new experience by sharing a principle based process to understand for whom and what type of manual loading is safe and appropriate with the intention of improved function.

All Modules and exams (70% pass rate) are required.
