About the Fascia Training Institute

Advancing Neurofascial Clinical Education, Brain Recovery and Human Performance

The Fascia Training Institute develops research-informed clinical education for practitioners, institutions, and performance organizations working with complex pain, persistent post-concussive symptoms, movement restriction, recovery, and human performance.

The location of pain is not always the source of the problem.

Founded by clinical innovator and researcher Simone Fortier, FTI trains professionals to investigate the relationships among the brain, fascia, movement, physiology, and neurological load—then measure how the system responds.

The FTI Clinical Frame

When Symptoms Persist, the System Must Be Examined Differently

Every unresolved case is communicating something. Pain that returns. Range of motion that never fully restores. Post-concussive symptoms that remain. Performance that declines when strength, conditioning, and motivation appear intact. FTI investigates how restrictions across the cranial fascia, jaw, cervical region, rib cage, shoulders, pelvis, or extremities can alter movement and force transmission—and how neurological and physiological load can influence cognitive function, recovery, regulation, and performance. FTI exists to help practitioners see more, assess more intelligently, and make clinical decisions based on measurable change.

Assessment

Identify restrictions, compensation patterns, and system demands before selecting an intervention.
h

Application

Apply neurofascial systems to real presentations—not idealized cases.

Measurement

Use measurable response to guide clinical reasoning and progression.

Clinical Inquiry Must Be Stated Precisely

FTI’s research library is designed to share case-based inquiry, clinical observation, and emerging evidence with appropriate restraint. These materials are educational. They do not replace diagnosis, treatment, or independent research replication.

Publication 01 · Clinical Case Series

Neurofascial Release and Persistent Symptom Complexity

A six-subject clinical case series examining a neurofascial approach in people with persistent symptom presentations. This paper is presented as preliminary clinical evidence, not a controlled trial or a guarantee of outcome.

Simone Fortier

Simone Fortier is the founder of the Fascia Training Institute and creator of Dynamic Brain Healing™ and Quantum NeuroFascial Release™. Her clinical work has informed practitioners, executives, and elite-performance environments for more than three decades. Her work is grounded in a clear principle: symptoms are outputs. The system determines the outcome. FTI is the institutional expression of that work—designed to build clinical capability, not dependence on a personality or a technique.

Testimonials

Preston Greene

Strength Coach, Florida Gators

As a Strength Coach for over 30 years, I have seen firsthand how Simone’s knowledge, expertise, and skills have directly improved my athletes’ performance. I am amazed at how well she can provide treatment to fascia, nerve, and lymphatic symptoms through new and integrative techniques. In addition to this, her concussion prevention and management techniques have directly impacted my players and helped with return to court time. If you wish to experience true healing and results I highly recommend visiting Simone and seeing first-hand what she can do for you.

Michelle Wilson MOT, RMT

After attending the 7 Step Concussion Protocol course, my expectations of patient outcomes has increased!

As a manual osteopathic therapist I use fascial, lymphatic, visceral and cranial techniques daily. Simone’s techniques and the research behind them have elevated my practice and provided benefits to patients beyond expectation! Patients have experienced mental, emotional, physical and postural changes.

Justin King, Strength Coach

Life-changing is an absolute understatement. As a strength coach it’s very easy to get caught up in the superficial game and force things into working; work harder, apply the most aggressive methods, suffer to achieve greatness.

Simone Fortier not only showed us that it is wiser to use finesse as opposed to force, but she opened all three of our eyes to a world of possibilities. I learned how to relieve pain, improve fascia health, create necessary space in the body, and change our client’s lives. I’m excited to help my athletes and for the future for all of us. Big things coming.

Lanell Beckles, Coach

Simone opened up my eyes to what happens when you change fascia. We experienced it our bodies…better mobility, more vascularity (imagine seeing your muscles without actually working out), and less pain from previous injuries.

For the FIRST time in my life, I started to work with the muscles, fascia, and bones around the face and skull.
It may sound a bit weird (or obvious)…but the muscles and fascia and bones around the face can be manipulated just like the rest of the body.

I’m super excited to share this everyone. By the end of class, my thought was clearer…my brain was calmer…my vision was sharper…my breathing was easier…and I felt different.

Nick Kropp, Strength Coach

Coming into the in-person training, I was prepared to learn about fascia, something new and exciting for me. Simone was HIGHLY recommended by Preston Greene for brain health and fascia so of course, we needed to go see her.

I have both experienced and witnessed LIFE-CHANGING events. This training will change the course of my career and my life. I believe that every moment of the last few years has to lead me to this weekend.
