In this workshop, participants will learn about the anatomy and physiology of fascia and scar tissue, as well as the various techniques used in myofascial release and scar release therapy.

Silicone patches work by creating a natural microclimate that pulls moisture from within the body, up through all the surfaces of your skin to address restrictions from both surface as well as underlying scar tissue.  We will also address wrinkles and sagging skin and learn the role fascia plays in the health of our skin.
