Structural Myofascial Therapy is a hands-on bodywork technique focused on releasing restrictions in the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. By addressing imbalances in the body’s structure and posture, this therapy helps reduce chronic pain, restore mobility, and improve overall alignment. Through deep, targeted pressure and slow, intentional strokes, therapists work to realign the body and support long-term physical well-being.
Step into the world of Structural Myofascial Therapy® with BetsyAnn Baron in this hands-on introductory SMFT workshop. You’ll learn practical techniques, explore fascia through updated anatomy, and experience Postural Somatic Awareness in action. Perfect for therapists ready to deepen their skills—plus, a full certification course begins January 2026.
