What you will learn:

This in-person course teaches you to view the patient more holistically through the fascial quadrants to assess and reassess the dysfunction that triggered an injury. With minimal intervention at the key point, you can address the underlying alterations that trigger the pathology before treating its symptoms. You can't afford to make mistakes, as the method is constantly self-validating, making Richelli's Fascial Quadrant System one of the safest and most reliable.
