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.
