What is Interdisciplinary Fascia Therapy (IFT\u00ae)?<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n\n\n

What is Interdisciplinary Fascia Therapy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interdisciplinary Fascia Therapy \u2013 in short: IFT\u00ae – is a form of therapy developed by Christopher-Marc Gordon<\/a> to treat stress<\/a> and pain, and to promote performance.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IFT\u00ae combines myofascial bodywork<\/a> through manual and instrumental therapy methods with heart-rate variability training (HRV)<\/a> to stimulate the autonomic nervous system. The human being is regarded as a holistic organism. IFT\u00ae has been successfully applied to patients and professional athletes since 1990. By combining therapeutic treatments with self-help treatments, the efficiency and sustainability of the therapy is significantly increased compared to conventional treatment approaches. As such, IFT\u00ae enables a reduction of chronic pain \u2013 up to complete painlessness \u2013 and further allows a sustainable promotion of stress resilience. Numerous scientific studies prove the effectiveness of IFT\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does IFT\u00ae work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the manual and instrumental treatment of all fascial mechanoreceptors and trigger points, the IFT\u00ae stimulates the tissue holistically. Stiffness and elasticity of the tissue are improved, whereby joints, tendons and ligaments are gaining mobility and stereotypical movement patterns can be corrected. Furthermore, by slowly treating the deep-lying tissue, muscular and painful imbalances can be corrected, and the organism can be brought back into balance. Myofascial body therapy is complemented by a regular heart-rate variability (HRV)<\/a> training to stimulate the vagus nerve. This activates the autonomic nervous system, and among other things, reducing cortisol in the blood. HRV<\/a> training therefore, promotes the body’s immune response to inflammatory stimuli. Just one IFT\u00ae treatment leads to improved pain sensation and range of motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our training within the IFT\u00ae framework<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminars and training sessions of the GordonHealth Academy<\/a> are founded on IFT\u00ae. During our IFT\u00ae training<\/a>, physiotherapists, osteopaths, naturopathic practitioners, masseurs, doctors and related medical professionals learn Interdisciplinary Fascia Therapy in 6 days for use on their patients. At the same time, we offer trainers, coaches and interested professionals the Fascia-ReleaZer\u00ae trainer courses<\/a> to teach our “self-help” concept.
