CHICAGO - Dec. 4, 2020 - Delos Therapy®, a cutting edge Chicago-based myofascial therapy clinic, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its sister company, Delos Institute, in December 2020. Delos Institute will offer one-of-a-kind classes in myofascial science and business principles taught by co-founders Eric Owens and Mimi Bosika, respectively. The unique insight of these professional table tennis athletes, muscular health experts, and business owners offers an educational experience unlike any other. From business professionals to chiropractors to fitness trainers to yoga instructors, these classes have something for everyone.
Delos Institute will offer two categories of classes: myofascial science and principles of business, which are available for continuing education credits (CEC) through the Yoga Alliance, National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), National Pilates Certification Program (NPCP), and National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB).
The basis of these classes is the foundation of Delos Therapy® and their innovative approach to chronic pain, inflammation, and dysfunction. This method of myofascial stretching uses pressure to pinpoint muscle tightness, or "knots", to restore muscular pliability by getting to the root cause of pain and discomfort.
Myofascial science courses will focus on the anatomy of fascia, dysfunction, and tissue architecture, including cellular anatomy, the extra-cellular matrix, and the various mechano-, biochemical and hormonal receptors. Specialized classes for the fitness and wellness community include "The Science of Stretching" and "Strength Training and Fascia". A premium four-part, eight-week course, "Myofascial Micro-stretching by Delos Therapy®", is also offered for in-depth coursework of the aforementioned principles and with hands-on instruction and technique of micro-stretching muscle tissue.
Business development courses will focus on building foundational knowledge and advanced skills in networking, sales training, and leadership. Although primarily geared to fitness and wellness industry professionals, business classes will also offer guidance for budding entrepreneurs and career advice for effective job hunting.
