This course will introduce the Neural Fascia SystemsTM approach and provide advanced techniques to improve palpation, assessment, and treatment skills that will allow you to target specific tissues and get results with less effort. Emphasis will be on the trunk, viscera, pelvis, hip, and lower extremity regions using the Neural Fascial ReleaseTM technique.
The Neural Fascial ReleaseTM technique presented in this course provides a framework to identify the primary restrictions limiting a body. You will learn how visually assess posture to identify the target region and then palpate to identify the two ends of a restriction and facilitate a release of fascial tissue to make more substantial changes with less effort.
Throughout this course you will gain skills that will be used in advanced courses to identify and treat various complaints.
Objectives:
- Improve palpation skills of specific trunk, pelvic, and lower extremity structures
- Introduction to basics for visceral mobilization and understand how it integrates into the system
- Enhance your effectiveness to find and release both ends of restrictions in fascial tissue
- Understand how to target treatment for effects on neuromuscular control
- Learn how the proprioceptive system impacts your treatment strategies
- Improve treatment body mechanics to decrease strain on joints and enhance effectiveness with less force
- Gain enhanced visual assessment skills and apply standard assessment with greater effectiveness

I loved this course and learning from Robert! It was informative, fun, and engaging! HE has encouraged me to learn more and most importantly to do things right and efficiently! I cannot recommend this enough!! He is talented!! And an Amazing Teacher!
Robert’s work is confident and precise. He makes sure that each student “feels” what is being taught and is patient in teaching those abstract concepts. The viscera is rarely addressed and is vital to treatment.
Dr. Blomquist is very easy to follow while teaching and creates a safe learning environment. He sincerely wants to share his knowledge of the bodily systems and I’ve found his classes have inspired me to pursue education into more advanced levels of how our bodies function.
Great Class! Really helps with any fear of being in the abdomen. Also, made me understand that many pains our clients have will sometimes or often connect to abdominal disfunction.
I would recommend this class to anyone. Robert’s friendly, approachable style supported my learning process and I feel excited to practice all of the new techniques I learned.
