Muscle Fiber Methodology

Course Description
Muscle Fiber Methodology is a unique combination of methods incorporating Muscle Fiber Manipulation and Passive Stretching that allows clients to reach optimal Performance. Muscle Fiber Methodology offers a systematic and effective approach to treating various muscular problems. Muscle Fiber Methodology deals with the correction, strengthening and prevention of disorders involving locomotor structures of the body, especially those impacting muscles, joints and other supporting structures of the body.
