A Myofascial Network Approach to Assessment and Treatment of Postural Mal-alignment and its Associated Pain
February 1, 2020 - February 2, 2020
$183.75 – $362.25
Saturday Feb 1, 2020 (2:30 pm- 6:30 pm) & Sunday Feb 2, 2020 (8:30 am- 5:10 pm)
Course Description:
This course focuses on the significance of the myofascial network in the development and support of normal posture. Fascial neurophysiologic properties and its adaptation to loading, posture, movement, pain and emotion in addition to its biomechanical characteristics in load transmission will be discussed. It also outlines postural abnormalities most commonly correlated with patterns of muscle imbalance in the myofascial tensional system which may lead to pain, impairment or disability over the long term.
Assessment methods utilizing observation and palpation skills will be taught to determine possible patterns of postural mal-alignment (including upper crossed syndrome, lower crossed syndrome and whole body mixed torsional mal-alignments) and their accompanying respiratory dysfunctions. Based on the type and severity of any identified postural abnormalities and the neurophysiologic principles and biomechanical properties of myofascial tensional network, the most appropriate therapeutic interventions among myofascial release techniques along with corrective exercises will be instructed and practiced accordingly.
Course Participants – Who Should Attend:
Physiotherapists, Registered Massage Therapists, Athletic Therapists, Kinesiologists
Course Content:
This course incorporated both theory and practical components, with hands-on training, including: instruction, group discussion, research review, case scenarios and practical sessions

He continued his education, receiving his MSc in Physiotherapy (IUMS) in 1992.
His contribution to academia began in 1990 at IUMS, where he was a Physiotherapy professor and instructor in electrotherapy modalities and electrophysiological testing, clinical biomechanics of the spine, orthopedics, manual therapy, exercise therapy, postural control & movement control at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Between January 2002 and May 2015 he trained more than 450 post-graduate specialists in the field of manipulative and exercise therapy in Iran. In his research capacity, he has supervised and contributed to numerous studies relating to control of posture and movement in patients with musculoskeletal disorders, producing 85 published studies in both English and Farsi.
Since 2015, Dr. Maroufi has started to teach hands-on and exercise therapy courses pertaining to assessment and treatment of disorders of spine and extremities, and application of electrotherapy modalities in rehabilitation in B.C, which have been welcomed by a significant number of participants among rehabilitation professionals, practitioners and students, so far.
