Passed Pax Feedback
In the past I had a short course in IASTM technique, got couple of tools and since then I was practicing this technique in the clinic but not often as I should. It was easy for me to understand yesterdays course, the lecturers from Ergon were great, my knowledge about fascia is deeper and I have learned many new strokes. Thank you for organizing these courses! I am interested in attending the next IASTM course! –
ERGON® Technique is an evidence-based therapeutic approach combining static and dynamic manipulations of the body’s soft tissue with special clinical equipment for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal pathologies. The technique derives its name from the ancient Greek word ‘ergon’, which means ‘the product of a man’s work, be it manual or mental, scientific or artistic’. The technique was created through applied research and longterm evaluation at the Human Evaluation and Rehabilitation Laboratory of the Physiotherapy Department of the University of Patras.
ERGON® Technique is based on the myofascial meridians theory as first described by Thomas Myers.The ERGON® Soft Tissue Techniques are applied on specific points of tissue restrictions and fascial adhesions along the fascial meridians; when these are released, functionality improves within a few treatment sessions. The Ergon Technique relies on unique clinical equipment called ERGON Tools. Ergon Tools applied with special ERGON Technique can detect and release –loosen scar tissues, adhesions and fascial stiffness, b) increase local perfusion, and c) decrease muscle tone and myofascial pain.
The ERGON ® Technique techniques are applied in specific points of soft tissue adhesions which, upon release, improve the functionality of the area of the body, in the space of merely a few sessions. The therapeutic effect of ERGON® Technique is sustained for many days afterwards, and when combined with other treatment techniques (stretching and neuromuscular control exercises techniques) can even become permanent.
This particular technique allows ERGON®-certified Therapists to a) assess with precision myofascial areas of high sensitivity, and b) restore biomechanical function of joints by dissolving adhesions, regaining normal myofascial rolling and reducing muscle spasm and pain.
The ERGON ® Technique effectiveness has been evaluated and is based on several recent research studies. These studies have demonstrated the effect of ERGON ® Technique on reducing the myofascial pain, treating major musculoskeletal diseases and accelerating the
recovery of specialized sports injuries (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=el&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=ergon+technique&btnG=)
ERGON IASTM TECHNIQUE APPLICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF LOWER LIMB INJURIES-PATHOLOGIES
The primary aim of the online masterclass is the theoretical and practical education and training of participants in the innovative techniques of ERGON® IASTM Technique for the treatment of the most common lower limb injuries and pathologies.
The largest part of the online masterclass concerns the guided presentation of ERGON® techniques for the treatment of the of the most significant lower limb injuries and pathologies.
Learning Objectives of BASIC ERGON® Course
At the end of the online training, trainees will have gained detailed education on the subject of Fasciae (Thomas Mayer Myofascial Meridians theory, soft tissue pathologies, fasciae, and their healing, being fully capable to:
• Assess possible fascial pathologies of the lower extremities
• Evaluate pathological manifestations of the lower extremities
• Release cross-links between connective tissues
• Restore range of motion of joints in a minimum number of treatment sessions
• Treat effectively most common lower limb pathologies/injuries
• Accelerate tissue through fibroblast activation
• Combine therapeutic techniques (therapeutic exercise)
• Apply functional neck rehabilitation interventions
The duration of the ERGON Webinar is 3 hours.
Timetable (South African times)
2-2.30pm: Theoretical presentation of a) most common lower limb injuries pathologies (hamstrings strains, patellar tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, iliotibial band friction syndrome) b), of Ergon IASTM Concept (fascial function, Ergon Concept, Treatments) and c) or relevant research findings.
2.30-3.10pm: Ergon evaluation and treatment procedures for hamstrings strains
3.10-3.50pm: Ergon evaluation and treatment procedures for patellar tendinopathy
3.50-4.30: Ergon evaluation and treatment procedures for Achilles tendinopathy
4.30-5pm: Ergon evaluation and treatment procedures for plantar fasciitis
