About the Event

In this live interactive webinar, clinicians will explore strategies for integrating myofascial interventions across different patient populations. Interventions such as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), self-myofascial rolling, percussion massage, and tissue flossing are often incorporated into a comprehensive, multimodal treatment plan. Topics include current research on combined treatment approaches, the potential interchangeability of these interventions, and suggested treatment parameters and best practices. The webinar provides practical guidance to support clinical decision-making and individualized treatment planning.

Live Event
This live online event will be held as a Zoom Webinar. Attendees will have the option to interact through features such as the Chat and Q&A, but cameras and microphones will not be enabled.
