CORE Myofascial Therapy - Core Institute

[pueppi]

Have you taken classes through CORE? How was the set up? Was the facility comfortable to learn in? What was the student to teacher ratio like? Which instructor did you have? Was the class more esoteric, clinical, emotional, structural, combined, etc.

Do you practice some different form of myofascial work and can provide information as to what this class may have of interest or be lacking in?

Any and all comments are appreciated.

CORE Myofascial Therapy

CORE Myofascial is a 6-day, intermediate level course open to all massage therapists who want to master an advanced, full-body Myofascial treatment for the improvement of structural alignment and functional performance.

CORE Myofascial teaches session strategies for the active/athletic client, for remediation of acute or chronic injuries, and for the treatment of structural concerns.

CORE Myofascial therapy was used as the premier treatment for the British Olympic Team at their 1995 and 1996 Olympic Training Camps held at Florida State University. CORE Bodywork is also the only deep muscle therapy in use by the massage therapy staff at the Peaks Resort and Spa in Telluride, Colorado. Active professionals, elite athletes, and anyone wishing to achieve a higher level of mental and physical performance will greatly benefit from CORE Myofascial Therapy.

Taken from another thread:

pueppi,

I really know nothing about Core myofascial, so I went to their website for more information. They say nothing about the myofascial release training other than goals, etc. Nothing about technique, treatment philosophy, or background. There are so many types of work, as well as teachers, that call what they do myofascial release. My training came from one place only and I would not even try to compare this with what others do and teach. The two Core classes look like intro-type seminars. I don't see any advanced classes on their website, so one might wonder what they will do if they wish to pursue the training further.
