Course Objectives

• Explain the anatomical and physiological principles of fascia and its relationship to the nervous system, movement efficiency, and performance. 
• Identify common myofascial restriction patterns and relevant acupressure points throughout the body. 
• Demonstrate scope-appropriate myofascial strategies for the spine, torso, and extremities using hands-on or tool-based approaches. 
• Apply acupressure-based strategies to support mobility, pain modulation, and parasympathetic activation. 
• Integrate breathwork techniques to enhance tissue adaptability and nervous system regulation during myofascial and movement work. 
• Reinforce myofascial reset strategies with region-specific mobility and stability drills.
• Use case-based reasoning to design movement strategies that connect myofascial work to strength and performance outcomes. 
• Design and implement a full-body, integrated session that bridges myofascial strategies with progressive overload principles to support resilience, strength, and performance. 

Course Outline

Day 1: Upper Body & Foundational Skills (6 Hours) 

Welcome & Intro 

• Qigong Practice 
• Course goals, expectations, safety

Theory Foundations

• Reset → Reinforce → Reload: Manual therapy → Mobility/Movement → Strength
• Fascia science: tissue adaptability, tensegrity, mechanotransduction 
• Breathwork & nervous system regulation: autonomic balance, clinical use
• Acupressure principles: key points/meridians for pain & mobility 
• Myofascial strategies as Reset: “opening windows of opportunity” 

Movement Assessment

• Establish a baseline of mobility, coordination, and control through a movement screen. 
• Assessment acts as a compass—guiding where to Reset, how to Reinforce, and when to Reload 

Reset Skills: Breathwork, Acupressure & Fascia (Foundational Skills and Upper Body) 

• Breath resets: rib cage expansion, diaphragmatic drills 
• Acupressure: neck/shoulder release points 
• Myofascial mobilizations: cervical, arm, shoulder glides 
• Partner lab practice 

Lunch (12pm – 1pm)

Reset Skills: Upper Body (Continued) 

• Sequencing breathwork + acupressure + myofascial strategies 
• Partner flow practice + group debrief 

Reinforce: Mobility & Movement Integration (Upper Body) 

• Main Drill: Arm Bar Press Progression 
• Layered reinforcement: mobility + stability 
• Partner cueing & feedback 

Reload: Case-Based Group Discussion 

• Needs analysis framework: goal → limiter → reset → reinforce → reload
• Small group discussion and application 

Day 1 Wrap-Up

• Peer Q&A + preview of Day 2 

Day 2: Spine/Torso, Lower Body & Full-Body Integration (6 Hours) 

Day 1 Review & Warm-Up 

• Qigong Practice 
• Group recap: Day 1 takeaways

Reset Skills: Spine / Torso 

• Breath resets: pelvic floor–diaphragm coupling 
• Acupressure: lumbar, pelvic, hip points 
• Myofascial strategies: lumbar glides and release 
• Partner lab practice + integration sequence

Reinforce: Mobility & Movement Integration (Spine/Torso) 

• Main Drill: Half-Kneeling Windmill Progression 
• Linking core stability + shoulder mobility + hip control

Reload: Case-Based Group Discussion 

• Needs analysis framework 
• Example: Deadlift progression (reset → hinge drills → KB RDL → barbell deadlift) 

Lunch (12pm – 1pm)

Reset Skills: Breathwork, Acupressure & Fascia (Lower Body)

• Acupressure: knee, ankle, calf, hamstring, lateral points
• Myofascial strategies: quad/hamstring, calf–ankle 
• Partner lab practice + lower body reset

Reinforce: Mobility & Movement Integration 

• Main Drill: Reverse Lunge Progression 
• Loaded variations + partner cueing

Reload: Case-Based Group Discussion 

• Needs analysis framework

Capstone: Full-Body Integration & Turkish Get-Up 

• Why the TGU: integrates breath, stability, mobility, strength 
• Step-by-step breakdown + floor mobility 
• Final integration of Reset → Reinforce → Reload

Closing 

• Q&A, CEUs
