CORE Myofascial Therapy Certification:

CORE Myofascial Therapy 1 & 2  a six-day workshop and is the initial certification course of the CORE Institute’ s advanced Structural Integration program. CORE Myofascial Therapy is a client-centered, full-body treatment approach that mobilizes the myofascial network, improving human structural and functional potentials. CORE’s program centers on advanced structural and myofascial procedures, exercises and educational strategies that increase your client’s resiliency, flexibility, balance, and awareness. It uses an approach that focuses on the intrinsic spiral found in the human body. Therapists using his technique apply slow, deep pressure that follows Langer’s Lines, the road map of the deep fascia

This certification also fulfills your first requirement to enter CORE Institute’s Advanced Structural Integration program.

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 elite 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 benefit from CORE Myofascial Therapy

CORE Advanced Education
CORE Advanced Education is designed to boost your existing skills and to enhance your role as a therapist. Each of our workshops is designed around four key principles:

1. Setting a foundation based in the sciences and somatic body awareness to advance your knowledge, and give you the means to help your clients understand their role in their own health and wellness.
2. Building on the foundation with precise techniques to enable you to effectively treat your clients.
3. Applying that same precision to your own body mechanics – to ensure you are healthy and injury-free throughout a long and HEALTHY career.
4. Fine tuning your technique through hands-on experience side by side with your instructor.

Below are 2 short Demo Clips taken at a CORE Myofascial Certification course:

• CORE Release- Intrinsic techniques for balancing the pelvic structures
• Arthrokinetics- Arm and leg joint techniques that reduce ligament tension and holding patterns
• End Work- A series of techniques that stimulate the parasympathetic response at the close of a session
• Neurosomatic Awareness Exercises
• Fascial anatomy & physiology
• How to combine both passive and active movements into your session for greater results
• You will also learn advance body reading techniques, session protocols, client-education strategies, and a history of structural bodywork

The CORE Structural Integrative Therapy Certification Program will be taught in four intensive seminars at the CORE Institute of Tallahassee, FL. George P. Kousaleos and selected faculty of the CORE Institute will teach this 500 hour program in the 10 sessions of structural integration.

CORE Structural Integrative Therapy is the most advanced system of structural integration taught at this time. Utilizing the classical treatment formats that were designed a half-century ago, the CORE Structural system also utilizes clinical techniques and educational strategies that are client-friendly. The power of this system is matched by learning objectives that honor the client’s ability to increase their neurosomatic awareness with that level of touch that corresponds to their sensory nervous system and somatotype.

CORE Advanced Structural Integration is a 10-session, system-wide process of deep bodywork. It is designed to improve the STRUCTURAL and FUNCTIONAL abilities of the human body in its relationship to the gravitational field. CORE Structural Integration also utilizes clinical techniques and educational strategies that are client-friendly. The power of this system comes from honoring the client’s ability to increase his neuro-somatic awareness. You will learn how to use communication and somatic awareness to match your touch to your client’s sensory nervous system and somato-type.

Built on the tradition of Ida Rolf and the SOMA Institute, CORE Institute’s 10-session Structural Integration program focuses on precision of technique and depth of knowledge (50% more material covered than peers) – to ensure that CORE SI grads are at the top in their field, and reaping the rewards.

CORE Structural Integration constitutes a 10-session system of progressively deeper myofascial treatments that structurally improves all fascial layers and extrinsic and intrinsic musculature. The 10 sessions focus on establishing an integrated structure, balancing the intrinsic spiral in the body, releasing chronic myofascial tension, improving movement patterns, and increasing self-reliance through heightened neurosomatic awareness. Each of the 10 sessions focuses on a specific region of the body, progressively working into deeper and more specific layers of the myofascial network.

The CORE Structural Integration certification is a 350-hour program that will take place once a month for 10 months.
Certification: Those who become certified in CORE Structural Integration are eligible for membership in the International Association of Structural Integrators.

Phase One training is titled CORE Extrinsic, and it includes goal-based lessons of the first three 90-minute sessions of the work, along with advanced body-reading strategies, flexibility programs, and the use of other educational strategies that promote client participation.

• Phase One will be taught on the following dates: Session #1  May 24 - 27 Session #2  June 24-27 Session #3  July 15-18
  
  

Phase Two training is titled CORE Intrinsic, and it includes the treatment plans of the four deepest sessions that work with the alignment and balance of the pelvis, spine, and cranium. Psychological theories and strategies are presented, along with advanced anatomy and physiology of these regions and related systems.

• Phase Two will be taught during two week long intensive seminars and taught on the following dates: Sessions #4+5 August 8-15 Sessions #6+7 September 12-19
  

Phase Three training is titled CORE Integration, and it includes the potential treatment strategies for the final three sessions, which seek to integrate the upper and lower divisions of the body, as well as coordinating brain hemisphere function. These three sessions have often been referred to as the “sculptural artwork” of structural integration. The level of client participation, especially in the design of the final session is mandatory for success.

• Phase Three will be taught on the following dates: Session #8  October 14-17 Session #9  November 11-14 Session #10  December 2-5
  
  

Each intensive seminar is taught from 9:30am to 5:30pm each day, with half-day classes every 4th day. Reading materials include Rolfing by Ida P. Rolf, Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers, A Dynamic Relation to Gravity by Edward Maupin, and Job’s Body by Deane Juhan.  A goal-oriented technical manual written by George P. Kousaleos forms the detailed curriculum outline of each session. Each participant will also have 2 in-class clients for clinical practicum and will document 3 out-of-class clients during the months between the Phases.
