NeuroFascial
Release
Advanced Manual Neurofascial Training for Complex Pain, Performance, and Neurological Integration
This proprietary hands-on system transforms connective tissue disruption into whole-body coherence through neurologically informed assessment.
What Is
NeuroFascial Release™?
NeuroFascial Release™ (NFR) is a proprietary, clinically advanced manual therapy system designed to assess and treat fascial dysfunction through precise palpation, neurobiomechanical reasoning, and system-level integration.
This certification trains practitioners to work with fascia as a neurologically informed, load-transmitting, sensory-rich system that directly influences movement, posture, pain, and brain-body communication.
NeuroFascial Release™ is not a collection of techniques. It is a structured clinical system, taught through certification to ensure safety, consistency, and reproducible outcomes.
Why NeuroFascial Release™ Exists
Many chronic pain, performance, and neurological cases persist despite traditional rehabilitation, strength training, or manual therapy.
These cases often involve:
Complex Fascial Patterns
Identify and address compensation patterns that traditional approaches miss
Poor Load Transfer
Restore proper load transmission across anatomical regions
Neurological Overdrive
Address sensory guarding and nervous system dysregulation
System Integration
Assess cranial, cervical, lymphatic, and postural interactions
NeuroFascial Release™ was developed to address these gaps by teaching clinicians how to identify, prioritize, and treat fascial restrictions that influence the nervous system and global function.
Clinical Philosophy:
Precision Over Force
NeuroFascial Release™ is grounded in a “less is more” clinical philosophy. Rather than aggressive pressure or high-volume treatment, this system emphasizes advanced palpation, strategic sequencing, and neurological safety.
● Advanced palpation and fascial listening
● Strategic sequencing of release
● Neurological safety and tissue respect
● Integration of cranial, spinal, and peripheral systems
● Objective outcome tracking
This allows practitioners to achieve deep, lasting change while protecting both client and clinician.
Who This Certification Is For
Manual & Fascial Therapists
Physical & Athletic Therapists
Chiropractors
Osteopaths
Strength & Conditioning Coaches
Clinicians with Chronic Pain Expertise
A strong foundational understanding of anatomy and physiology is expected. This certification is designed for experienced clinicians ready to work at the true interface of fascia, neurology, and functional performance.
What Makes This
Certification Different
Most fascia courses teach isolated techniques. NeuroFascial Release™ teaches clinical reasoning within a system.
● Advanced palpation and tissue engagement
● Fascial assessment to identify priority restriction lines
● Complete 14-protocol treatment system
● Integration of upper body, lower body, cranial, and lymphatic systems
● Case-study validation to ensure real-world competence
Certification is not granted based on attendance alone.
The Certification Pathway
Level 1 — Upper & Lower Body Foundations
Establishes assessment frameworks, palpation skill, and application of the full 14-protocol system across upper and lower body. Advanced levels focus on refinement, complexity, and integration.
System-Level Outcomes Practitioners Develop:
● Perform advanced fascial listening and palpation
● Identify superficial, deep, visceral, and neural fascial layers
● Apply precise release protocols safely and effectively
● Integrate cranial, cervical, thoracic, pelvic, and peripheral systems
● Address chronic pain, postural imbalance, and performance limitations
● Document outcomes using standardized case study methodology
Clinical Foundation &
Evidence-Informed Practice
NeuroFascial Release™ is informed by contemporary fascia research, neuroanatomy, biomechanics, and manual therapy literature.
● Fascial anatomy and physiology
● Neurobiomechanical principles
● Safety and contraindication protocols
● Structured assessment and outcome documentation
This ensures consistency, reproducibility, and practitioner confidence.
Taught by the Founder
NeuroFascial Release™ was developed and is taught by Simone Fortier, founder of the Fascia Training Institute.
With over 30 years of experience in advanced fascia education, manual therapy, and performance-based clinical training, Simone brings unparalleled expertise to this certification.
