ELDOA® 1 & 2 Combination — The ELDOA of the Spine
June 6–7, 2026 | Quinnipiac University | Hamden, Connecticut
Instructor | Bryce Turner
ELDOA USA is proud to bring the ELDOA® 1 & 2 Combination — The ELDOA of the Spine to the East Coast for one of the most significant fascial and spinal education events of the year.
Hosted at Quinnipiac University in collaboration with Quinnipiac Athletics, this landmark event takes place within a Division I collegiate athletic environment and is hosted by Brijesh Patel, Associate Athletic Director of Athletic Performance at Quinnipiac University and 2024 NSCA College Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year.
This course represents a rare opportunity to experience ELDOA education at the highest level within a premier collegiate performance setting.
Course Overview
This two-day ELDOA® 1 & 2 Combination is the most comprehensive introduction to the ELDOA method, with a focused emphasis on the spine and global fascial system. Participants will develop a deep understanding of spinal biomechanics, segmental decompression, fascial tension lines, and how posture, breathing, and movement directly influence performance, recovery, and long-term durability in sport.
More than a traditional certification, this event is designed as a conference-level educational experience, bringing together athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches, physical therapists, movement professionals, and performance coaches working with athletes at every level—from youth sport to collegiate, elite, and professional performance.
If you work in athletic performance, collegiate or professional sports, rehabilitation, or human movement, this course provides tools and principles that translate immediately to the field, the weight room, and the clinic.

Hosted within a Division I athletic environment and hosted by one of the most respected strength and conditioning coaches in collegiate sport, this event highlights the essential role of spine-centered, fascial-based training in modern athletic performance.
