Become a qualified Myofascial Release Therapist with Australia’s most Comprehensive Integrated Bodywork Training.

The Professional Certificate in Myofascial Release, developed and delivered by Chris O’Brien, is the culmination of over 28 years of clinical practice and teaching in fascia-focused bodywork, making it the most comprehensive Myofascial Release training in Australia. This hands-on program teaches you how to assess and treat the body’s connective tissue — the fascia — to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from postural dysfunctions to chronic pain patterns. Whether you are an experienced therapist or a complete beginner, you will gain the skills, confidence, and qualification to deliver highly effective Myofascial Release treatments and achieve outstanding client results.

Why Core Body Therapy?

Through decades of clinical practice, Chris O’Brien recognised that treating the body using only one modality can limit the outcomes a practitioner is able to achieve. Every client presents with unique patterns of restriction, compensation, pain, and dysfunction — requiring a broader understanding of the body and a more integrated approach to treatment.

This understanding led to the development of the Core Body Therapy system — a complete approach combining Myofascial Release, Craniosacral Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, and advanced stretching techniques.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms or the area where pain is felt, Core Body Therapy teaches practitioners to understand the deeper patterns contributing to dysfunction. By combining structural techniques that address fascia, muscles, and movement restrictions with subtle approaches such as Craniosacral Therapy, which works with the cranial system, nervous system regulation, and the body’s innate capacity for balance and self-correction, practitioners develop a more complete understanding of how to support lasting change.

The Professional Certificate develops more than technical skills. It refines your palpation ability, clinical reasoning, and confidence so you can assess each client individually and choose the most appropriate treatment approach — whether structural, subtle, or an integration of both.

This unique system gives practitioners a broader clinical skill set, greater treatment flexibility, and the ability to achieve more comprehensive and lasting results for their clients.
