AnswerThere are no prerequisites for taking this training, however, trainees should have a sincere interest in understanding basic biomechanics and fascia science as it relates to movement and mobility.
Question I’m a fitness professional / clinician / massage therapist; is this program right for me?
AnswerFascia research is still currently a niche topic that is still in its relative infancy. Self-myofascial release research is even a younger field of study. The team at Tune Up Fitness are involved with this nascent research space and distills new findings into actionable applicable techniques on an ever-evolving basis. Evidence based and best-practice approaches comprise the self-massage applications and tools within the Roll Model Method. Clinicians and therapists will expand their current knowledge base.

Additionally they will find themselves amongst an interprofessional cohort with common goals to empower their clients/patients with self-care healthcare.
