Intro to Neurofascial Work & Neurofascial Work for the Neck and Head with Steve Evanko

  • Seattle Clinical Massage School (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Intro to Neurofascial Work (Friday night Zoom meeting) & Neurofascial Work for the neck and head (Saturday 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'll explore the nerves around the neck, jaw, and head, and their relationship to thoracic outlet syndrome, forward head posture, TMJ dysfunction, headaches, dowager's hump, and ROM issues. This is a good opportunity to enhance your nerve palpation skills as well as learning a few effective self-care tips.

Some of the nerves we will cover in class include the cervical plexus (lesser occipital, great auricular, transverse cervical, supraclavicular nerve), trigeminal nerve (opthalmic, maxillary and mandibular branches), dorsal rami of cervical spinal nerves (greater occipital, lesser, 3rd occipital), and the spinal accessory nerve. Please also familiarize yourself with the other cranial nerves and review muscle attachments and articulations around the thoracic outlet. 

Please note: The prerequisite for taking Saturday’s hand-on class is Friday’s 3-hour “Introduction to Neurofascial Work” webinar class, which is included in your tuition. You will not be able to attend Saturday’s technique class unless you have taken the introductory Friday class.

Introduction to Neurofascial Manipulation with Steve Evanko (live, via Zoom)

Introduction to Neurofascial Manipulation (sold out)

This introductory lecture class will introduce you to the research and concepts behind neurofascial manipulation– working directly with the nerves and superficial fascia to restore mobility and decrease pain. Nerves control tissue tone, while tethered and overstretched nerves create pain and inflammation. Direct engagement of the neurofascia and skilled use of neural mobilization techniques can dramatically increase your level of results and set you apart. 

In this introductory (lecture) class, we will discuss concepts of neurogenic inflammation, ectopic firing, central sensitization, and fibromyalgia. The work is based in part on concepts from JP Barral, Alain Crobier, and Don Hazen, DC. You will learn how tethered cutaneous nerves contribute to shoulder, neck, and arm pain. We will also learn to slow down, refine our touch of the superficial layers and self-palpate several nerves in the arm and wrist. This class will provide you with a basic theoretical understanding of neurofascial work, and prepare you for Steve's neurofascial technique classes.

Please note that this class is sold out. If you’d like to be placed on the waiting list, please contact us at info@pnwschool.com
