Training the Thoracolumbar Fascia & IT Band for Health and Human Performance
Presented by Michol Dalcourt
The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) and iliotibial (IT) band are two of the body’s most influential connective tissue structures—key players in stability, force transmission, locomotion, and resilience. Yet they remain widely misunderstood and often under-trained. This session demystifies their functional roles and provides a clear, practical framework for integrating TLF and IT band training into any health, fitness, or performance program.

Participants will explore foundational training guidelines for General Physical Preparedness (GPP) of these tissues—emphasizing tension management, directional loading, and multi-planar movement strategies that build durability and improve movement efficiency. We then move into a continuum of practical drills, from Anatomical Adaptation (AA) to higher-order performance sequences, showcasing how to prime the fascial system for real-world demands.

Coaches, clinicians, and practitioners will learn how to regress and progress exercises to meet the needs of diverse clients—from those requiring tissue desensitization and stability to athletes seeking elastic recoil and high-velocity expression.

Attendees will leave with a ready-to-apply toolkit for improving foundational function, enhancing performance outcomes, and developing more robust, adaptable movers through targeted TLF and IT band training.
 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
●    Describe the structural and functional roles of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) and iliotibial (IT) band in stability, locomotion, and force transmission.
●    Explain how tension management, directional loading, and multi-planar movement strategies influence the health and performance capacity of fascial tissues. 
●    Identify client presentations that require regression (e.g., desensitization and foundational stability) or progression (e.g., elastic recoil and high-velocity output) within TLF and IT band training.
●    Apply General Physical Preparedness (GPP) principles to develop baseline durability and movement efficiency in the TLF–IT band system.
●    Implement a continuum of training methods—from Anatomical Adaptation (AA) drills to advanced performance sequences—to prepare clients for real-world demands.

Fascianetics: Comprehensive Flexibility Training for Athletes
Presented by Ann & Chris Frederick

Fas·ci·a·net·ics: fascia (“binding”) + kinetics (“motion”)

Fascia is often used as the one word for all connective tissues (bone, blood, fat, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and more) that binds everything together from the skin down to the bone and everything in between.

Kinetics is the motion of changing position.

All body structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) must work and flow with cooperation and coordination for optimal health and performance.

Fascianetics is a proven methodology of training, rehabilitation and recovery that belongs in every system of healthcare, fitness and sports, because it is often the missing link in an optimal strategy for the individual.

There are self-guided Fascianetics programs for clients, athletes and patients of all ages. And there are Fascianetics programs that certified and licensed practitioners integrate with their current level of expertise to take their results and outcomes to another level.

In this Summit with us, learn the principles of a highly efficient functional mobility and flexibility assessment and training system that quickly tunes the body’s balance of tension and compression for optimal performance using ultra-precise hands-on techniques.

Attendees will learn how to perform a 10-minute whole-body assisted mobility micro-session for clients and athletes at both the individual and group level.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

●    Describe the foundational principles of “Fascianetics” and its approach to balancing tension and compression within the fascial system.
●    Explain how ultra-precise, hands-on techniques influence functional flexibility, neuromyofascial responsiveness, and overall movement efficiency.
●    Identify key indicators of fascial restriction or imbalance using the Fascianetics functional assessment process.
●    Perform a structured 10-minute whole-body assisted mobility micro-session for clients or athletes in both individual and group settings.
●    Apply Fascianetics principles to improve training and performance readiness, participation and competition outcomes, with faster and more complete recovery to maintain long-term movement health.
●    Design appropriate progressions and session applications to integrate Fascianetics into existing training, recovery, or therapeutic programs.

Training the Thoracolumbar Fascia & IT Band for Health and Human Performance
Presented by Michol Dalcourt
The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) and iliotibial (IT) band are two of the body’s most influential connective tissue structures—key players in stability, force transmission, locomotion, and resilience. Yet they remain widely misunderstood and often under-trained. This session demystifies their functional roles and provides a clear, practical framework for integrating TLF and IT band training into any health, fitness, or performance program.

Participants will explore foundational training guidelines for General Physical Preparedness (GPP) of these tissues—emphasizing tension management, directional loading, and multi-planar movement strategies that build durability and improve movement efficiency. We then move into a continuum of practical drills, from Anatomical Adaptation (AA) to higher-order performance sequences, showcasing how to prime the fascial system for real-world demands.

Coaches, clinicians, and practitioners will learn how to regress and progress exercises to meet the needs of diverse clients—from those requiring tissue desensitization and stability to athletes seeking elastic recoil and high-velocity expression.

Attendees will leave with a ready-to-apply toolkit for improving foundational function, enhancing performance outcomes, and developing more robust, adaptable movers through targeted TLF and IT band training.
 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
●    Describe the structural and functional roles of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) and iliotibial (IT) band in stability, locomotion, and force transmission.
●    Explain how tension management, directional loading, and multi-planar movement strategies influence the health and performance capacity of fascial tissues. 
●    Identify client presentations that require regression (e.g., desensitization and foundational stability) or progression (e.g., elastic recoil and high-velocity output) within TLF and IT band training.
●    Apply General Physical Preparedness (GPP) principles to develop baseline durability and movement efficiency in the TLF–IT band system.
●    Implement a continuum of training methods—from Anatomical Adaptation (AA) drills to advanced performance sequences—to prepare clients for real-world demands.
●    Design individualized training strategies that integrate targeted TLF and IT band work to improve foundational function, enhance performance outcomes, and increase movement adaptability.

Fascianetics: Comprehensive Flexibility Training for Athletes
Presented by Ann & Chris Frederick

Fas·ci·a·net·ics: fascia (“binding”) + kinetics (“motion”)

Fascia is often used as the one word for all connective tissues (bone, blood, fat, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and more) that binds everything together from the skin down to the bone and everything in between.

Kinetics is the motion of changing position.

All body structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) must work and flow with cooperation and coordination for optimal health and performance.

Fascianetics is a proven methodology of training, rehabilitation and recovery that belongs in every system of healthcare, fitness and sports, because it is often the missing link in an optimal strategy for the individual.

There are self-guided Fascianetics programs for clients, athletes and patients of all ages. And there are Fascianetics programs that certified and licensed practitioners integrate with their current level of expertise to take their results and outcomes to another level.

In this Summit with us, learn the principles of a highly efficient functional mobility and flexibility assessment and training system that quickly tunes the body’s balance of tension and compression for optimal performance using ultra-precise hands-on techniques.

Attendees will learn how to perform a 10-minute whole-body assisted mobility micro-session for clients and athletes at both the individual and group level.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

●    Describe the foundational principles of “Fascianetics” and its approach to balancing tension and compression within the fascial system.
●    Explain how ultra-precise, hands-on techniques influence functional flexibility, neuromyofascial responsiveness, and overall movement efficiency.
●    Identify key indicators of fascial restriction or imbalance using the Fascianetics functional assessment process.
●    Perform a structured 10-minute whole-body assisted mobility micro-session for clients or athletes in both individual and group settings.
●    Apply Fascianetics principles to improve training and performance readiness, participation and competition outcomes, with faster and more complete recovery to maintain long-term movement health.
●    Design appropriate progressions and session applications to integrate Fascianetics into existing training, recovery, or therapeutic programs.
