About this Event

The Dermal-Fascial Restoration® Certification Program is an intensive online and lab-based course taught by Paul R. Metter, PT, DPT, Jeffrey A. Schroder, MPT, DPT and Anil Joseph, DPT.

It combines online presentations (2 CEU), lab demonstrations, and practical hands-on learning (14 CEU).

Dermal-Fascial Restoration ® – Level 1 consists of a two-part course (for 16 hours total CEU) to gain an appreciation and understanding for the importance of systematically evaluating and treating the structural interconnections between the skin and fascia that stiffen with injury, infection, or immobility. Invisible bands of dermal-fascial stiffness/densification are exposed and restored through manual manipulation of the dermis and fascia which can be identified and treated most anywhere on the body.

Objective ways of evaluation, application and assessment of treatment effectiveness will be presented. Course will be evaluated through observation of performance in lab and successful passing of 20 question quiz for online material.
