Functional Active Release
with Robin Lansman
More than another treatment tool: hands-on rehabilitation with less physical demand on the practitioner
There are so many tools to choose from when addressing MSK problems and particularly muscle components of the case in hand.
Many manual therapists already use myofascial release, ART, deep soft tissue, inhibition pressure points, acupressure, functional technique, massage and many more.
FAR is quite different as the patient is involved all the way through the assessment and treatment phases as well as the rehabilitation exercise phase. This means the patient and their feedback help manage the process more closely and allow for a bespoke programme of care with easy to measure outcomes.
This in turn helps practitioners know if their approach is working. An adaptive and individual form of physical therapy, loved by patients and their therapists. Ideal for chronic stiffness, improving strength and flexibility, through muscle activation and release.

This very practical workshop aims to enhance the holistic assessment and care of LBP and Sciatica
The workshop is informed by the NICE Guidelines for LBP and Sciatica, and will explore the various types of Mechanical Sciatica and demonstrate a protocol for both treatment and remedial/rehab exercise.
This will be based on a greater understanding of all the mechanical components that create the individual presentations of “sciatica”.
