Mobilization of Visceral Fascia: Urinary System - Fairfax VA (Oct 02 - 04, 2026)

Mobilization of Visceral Fascia: Urinary System - Fairfax VA is organized by Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and will be held from Oct 02 - 04, 2026 at The Jackson Clinics, Centerville, Virginia, United States of America.

Course Description

This is a satellite offering of our course, Mobilization of Visceral Fascia Level 1: The Urinary System. This continuing education course consists of pre-recorded lectures followed by live, interactive remote learning which will be completed by groups meeting at a specific satellite OR self hosted location. The instructor will be presenting to all satellites from a remote location via Zoom. During labs, participants will pair up and be guided by the local lab assistants at the satellite course location.

This course is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge concerning the relationship between the connective tissue surrounding the visceral structures of the urologic system as it relates to the musculoskeletal system.

Upon completion of this continuing education course, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the theory and application of mobilization of visceral fascial structures relating to optimal function of the urinary system and pelvic floor.
2. Understand the biological plausibility of how alteration of the normal mobility of visceral fascial structures can contribute to pelvic dysfunction
3. Describe the role of neurologic mechanisms in altering the tone and tension of fascia with respect to manual therapy
4. Cite potential causes for development of restrictions in the visceral fascia of the urologic system, pelvis, abdomen and thorax
5. Describe the influence of somatic and autonomic function, to include respiration, on the normal mobility of the visceral structures within the urinary system
6. Differentiate between direct and indirect manual therapy techniques and understand the proper application of each
7. Identify visceral structures with relation to the urinary system via external and internal vaginal landmarks
8. Recognize abnormal tissue mobility of visceral fascial structures.
9. Apply the technique of three-dimensional fascial mobilization to visceral fascia utilizing external body and internal vaginal approaches
10. Recognize and treat fascial restrictions throughout the pelvis, abdomen and thorax as they may relate to diagnoses of dysfunction within the urinary system
11. Develop treatment sequencing with respect to global, local and focal fascial restrictions
12. Implement visceral fascia mobilization techniques into a comprehensive treatment program for the patient with urologic dysfunctions to include incontinence, urgency/frequency, retention, and bladder pain as they relate to physical therapy
