Why train with Steven Goldstein?
When a familiar technique isn’t helping, a deeper understanding can open up new possibilities. Steven’s teaching explores the relationships between fascia, joints and the nervous system, helping you make more informed choices in your hands-on work.
With over 30 years of clinical and teaching experience, he brings together direct myofascial techniques and gentle, indirect approaches. Through demonstration and guided practice, you’ll explore how to:
- Recognise patterns of tension beyond the area where a client feels discomfort.
- Adapt your touch, pressure and pace to the person you’re treating.
- Work with greater precision and less reliance on force.
- Integrate new approaches into the skills you already use.
Small-group teaching gives you time to practise, ask questions and receive individual feedback — with practical ideas to take back to your treatment room.
“I teach therapists how to blend direct and indirect techniques, mechanical and nervous system approaches, to get fast and lasting results without force.”
~ Steven Goldstein

Meet your Tutor – Steven Goldstein
Steven Goldstein has spent over three decades exploring how the body stores tension—and how skilled, responsive touch can help release it. Originally trained in both education and musculoskeletal therapy, Steven began teaching in the early 1990s in Seattle, working alongside some of the best-known names in the field. Since then, he’s taught thousands of practitioners across the globe, developing a unique approach that bridges fascia, function, and nervous system regulation.
His method—now known as Fascial Therapy (FT)—has evolved through decades of clinical work, anatomical study, and a deep respect for the human body’s capacity to adapt and heal. Steven’s teaching blends direct and indirect myofascial techniques, osteopathic principles, and trauma-informed practice. But more than that, it’s grounded, generous, and rooted in lived experience.
Steven currently lives in Melbourne where he directs the Fascial Therapy Institute Australia and continues to teach internationally. His style is often described as dynamic, playful, profound and informative. He’s known for helping practitioners not only refine their technique, but also expand how they think about touch, safety, and clinical change.
