The main objective of the workshop is to provide theoretical and practical training and skills building for participants using ERGON tools. During the training, practical skills will be developed for the application of the ERGON® method in all anatomical structures (based on the body fascia meridians according to the theory of the Myofascial Circuits of Thomas Mayer). Practical analysis of different clinical situations of the musculoskeletal system and the possibilities of applying the ERGON® method.
The ERGON® technique is designed for the treatment of neuromuscular pathologies, combining static and dynamic manipulation of the body’s soft tissues with special ERGON® instruments. It is an evidence-based method of soft tissue manual therapy. The name of the technique is derived from the ancient Greek word „ergon”, meaning „human handwork”.
The technique has been developed through applied research and long-term evaluation.
The ERGON® technique is an updated technique that improves on the older IASTM technique.
The ERGON® Soft Tissue Technique is applied along the fascial meridians (Thomas Mayer’s theory of myofascial meridian circuits), freeing them up and improving impaired tissue mobility function. The results can be observed in just a few treatment sessions.

I module (basic):
– Introduction to the techniques: basic theoretical principles, indications and contraindications, results of the techniques.

Practical analysis of different clinical situations of the musculoskeletal system and the possibilities of applying the ERGON® method.
The ERGON® technique is designed for the treatment of neuromuscular pathologies, combining static and dynamic manipulation of the body’s soft tissues with special ERGON® instruments. It is an evidence-based method of soft tissue manual therapy. The name of the technique is derived from the ancient Greek word „ergon”, meaning „human handwork”.
The technique has been developed through applied research and long-term evaluation.
The ERGON® technique is an updated technique that improves on the older IASTM technique.
The ERGON® Soft Tissue Technique is applied along the fascial meridians (Thomas Mayer’s theory of myofascial meridian circuits), freeing them up and improving impaired tissue mobility function. The results can be observed in just a few treatment sessions.
TRAINING PROGRAM:
– Introduction to the techniques: basic theoretical principles, indications and contraindications, results of the techniques.
– Demonstration of the basic ERGON movements (IASTM) and their application.

TARGET AUDIENCE: physical medicine doctors, neurologist doctors, sports medicine doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists.
The BOBATH Concept is an inclusive, individualized therapeutic approach to optimize movement recovery and potential for persons with neurological pathophysiology informed by contemporary movement and neurosciences. The concept provides a framework for the analysis of functional movement based on the understanding that neurological pathology affects the whole person. Intervention focuses on the recovery of typical movement, minimizing atypical and compensatory movement, whilst recognizing that movement problems are influenced by the person’s lived experiences pre and post the neurological lesion. There is an emphasis on a 24-hour multidisciplinary approach to enhance activity and participation.
An international IBITA certificate will be issued to the participants.
IBITA is the international organisation of Instructors, teaching the BOBATH concept applied to the assessment and treatment of adults with neurological conditions. IBITA was formed in 1984 for the specific purposes of providing a forum for defining the continued interaction and education of its present instructors and the training of future instructors and for the formulation of the Byelaws and Rules & Regulations of the organisation with respect to the teaching of the BOBATH Concept worldwide.
Today IBITA unites Instructors (Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists) worldwide, representing more than 255 members in 29 countries.
