All lectures (including the small group meetings) will be live & online via Zoom’s easy interface. Lectures are also available by recording.

All four Lectures will be repeated at two different times. You will also have access to the lectures’ recordings, so they’re easy to catch up on if can’t make it to the live lecture.

Small Groups are not recorded, so we encourage applicants to plan on attending as many of the Small Group meetings as possible. These are scheduled at multiple times (schedule TBD), and you can attend at different times each week, as needed.

Live attendance at a minimum of three (3) Small Group discussions is required for credit, and a maximum of one (1) of those can be made up via a written assignment, if needed. You can also take the course as a not-for-credit auditor, and come solely to the classes (and listen to the recordings) you choose.

Advanced Myofascial Techniques Volume 1 is highly recommended, especially for CAMT (certification) participants; but is not required for the course.

Not necessarily. You will be learning about the purpose and principles behind the techniques; practice is optional, and alternatives will be given. So, the course is appropriate for both practitioners who are and who are not seeing clients at this time.

Small Groups will meet at a variety of times, appropriate for every time zone, just before each lecture. You can attend at the time of your choice each week.

Before each lecture, we will send you a scheduling link where you can select your next Small Group meeting time(s) in advance. Slated group times are subject to change but will be re-confirmed each round.
