AUSTRALIAN FASCIA SYMPOSIUM
The Very First Australian Fascia Symposium is an online event running over 3 Australian afternoons on Friday 18, Saturday 19, and Sunday 20 September 2020!
Led by keynote speakers Dr. Robert Schleip and Prof. Scott Wearing, leaders in Fascial Research and Applications will present their innovative work on a wide variety of subjects. Such as; The latest news from the international science field, Where to start to understand the fascia, Pathway to the pelvic floor, Molecular aspects of the fasciae and everything in between.
