ABMP on the Road! From Germany to California


Robert Schleip, PhD, (left, center) examines fascial plastination specimens

The relationships in the massage and bodywork professions are as intricate as the body’s own fascial network. The Fascia Research Society’s Rachelle Clauson shared the exciting news with us that Robert Schleip, PhD—one of the world’s leading experts in fascial research—is coming to the United States next month to teach for the first time in a couple years. Schleip is cofounder of the Fascia Research Society and the Fascia Research Congress. For ABMP's Leslie A. Young, PhD, one of the high points of the 2018 Fascia Research Congress in Berlin in November was reconnecting with and learning from Schleip.

Clauson helped host the Human Fascial Net Plastination Project at the congress and coordinated an ABMP sponsorship of this groundbreaking exhibit. She is excited to attend Schleip’s upcoming workshop and describes it as “wildly informative and practical.” The two-day course includes researchers and practitioners from the fields of bodywork, exercise, sports medicine, and movement.

To learn more about the Human Fascial Net Plastination Project, check out Clauson’s feature in the September/October 2018 issue of Massage & Bodywork.

There are a limited number of spots available in this maximum 80-person opportunity. For more information, visit www.ncepfitness.com/fascia.

US Department of Education 150% Rule Update

A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction that halts the enforcement of the US Department of Education’s new Bare Minimum Rule, also known as the “100% rule,” until the court takes further action. This is the first step in what could be a lengthy battle to ultimately delay enforcement of the rule, providing schools more time to adjust their programmatic standards, or overturn the rule altogether. Find out more and what your school needs to do to prepare.
