Why should I take this course?

MAP fills the gap between where movement is and where movement should be.

MAP aims to overcome and fill the gap, connecting the dots by applying The 5 MAP Movements and principles. 
Dr Robert Schleipp from the Fascial Research Society said that in the “everywhereness”of fascia it became the Cinderella tissue. It’s the part of the body that everyone ignored because it seemed so common and yet, it should be central to the story. It’s this “everywhereness” that makes fascia difficult to define.  
The heart makes sense as a pump. The kidneys make sense as filters. Fascia seems to be unstructured gooey glue that has no real form, and yet, it is the essence of structural integrity. 

How then do we connect the dots between what we know and what we can practically apply? How do we go from knowing to doing since it is in this gap where change takes place. 

The presentation language will be in English, although questions can be asked in Dutch.

Movement therapy, not manual therapy

Learn a safe approach to fascia without the limitations that hands-on therapy bring. This broadens the scope of your approach to fascia by making online sessions possible in not having to apply “a license to touch”.
