Introduction to Neurofascial Work & Neurofascial Manipulation for the Back and Ribcage with Steve Evanko


  • Seattle Clinical Massage School Fremont area 98103 (map)

Intro to Neurofascial manipulation (Friday night Zoom meeting) & Neurofascial manipulation for the back and ribcage (Saturday 8-hour Hands-On Class)

It may surprise you to learn that some of the hard and tender knots we've furiously been working on are actually swollen and potentially inflamed and tethered nerves. Neural mobilization skills will dramatically increase your results and set you apart. This class will be an introduction to working directly with the nerves and superficial fascia to restore joint mobility and decrease pain. 

In these classes we will explore the nerves around the back and the lateral line. Learn how tethering of the dorsal rami, intercostal nerves and the long thoracic nerve can influence vertebral/rib rotations and scoliosis, and several strategies to release them. This is a good opportunity to enhance your nerve palpatory skills and you'll also learn a few effective self-care techniques.
