Join in! The MTASA hosting on Saturday 8th May 9am to 12:30pm with these two engaging ladies who will introduce us to MAP Movement.

MAP Movement (Myofascial Activated Posture),
is a rehabilitation tool to help you move more freely. MAP Movement fills the gap between movement as we know it and movement as we want it to be and to move the way nature intended.

Join us in this workshop as we take a closer look at the character of fascia as described in recent research. What is the importance of the preparation of movement: creating space so that we can move into that space.
