Nerve Mobilization Massage Certificate Course (2 CE)

Explore the nervous system: brain and spinal cord in the central system, peripheral motor and sensory neurons, and somatic and autonomic divisions with sympathetic and parasympathetic roles.

Explore nerve flossing, nerve gliding, and hands-on techniques that support nerve health, reduce pain, and improve range of motion in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar nerve roots.

Explore how the nervous and musculoskeletal systems influence each other, with nerve problems arising from movement, compression, and tension, and vice versa through mechanical and physiological functions.

Breath patterns shape behavior and, during treatment, reduce rib cage tension, boost brain oxygen, increase vagus nerve activity and parasympathetic calm, and promote relaxation.

Learn foot nerve anatomy, including the medial plantar, lateral plantar, and Baxter nerves, and master mobilization techniques to distinguish Baxter nerve entrapment from plantar fasciitis.

Learn about the deep fibular nerve in the ankle and its anterior muscles; use gentle mobilization, skin stretch, and ankle motion to decompress and mobilize the nerve.

Examine the kneecap nerves, including the femoral and cutaneous nerves, note that cartilage has no nerve endings, and perform patella skin lift to relax surrounding knee tissues.

Explore tibial nerve involvement at the posterior knee, with numbness, pain, tingling, and weakness, and learn a leg-elevation mobilization to ease sciatic behind-the-knee pain.

Explore peroneal nerve entrapment at the fibula, its repetitive strain symptoms, and a targeted mobilization technique using leg skin shearing, upward gliding, and timed holds to relieve entrapment.

Examine the posterior lower leg and ankle, the tibial and sural nerves, and symptoms such as numbness, burning pain, and tingling, then apply decompression techniques around the calf and Achilles.

Examine hamstring syndrome and sciatic nerve compression, including si joint involvement. Learn decompression and mobilization techniques for hip and leg pain relief.

Explore the femoral nerve's role in innervating the quadriceps and hip flexors, assess signs like quadriceps atrophy and absent patellar reflex, and learn a gentle, breath-guided quadriceps stretch.

Learn techniques to mobilize the obturator nerve, addressing medial thigh pain and adductor weakness, with seated nerve mobilization, gentle decompression, and guided hamstring stretches.

Explore sacral glute pain and signs of sciatic nerve entrapment, including low back pain radiating down the leg and iliac crest tenderness, and learn a hook-and-pull nerve stretch.

Focus on the greater trochanter to ease hip pain through torsion, sustained pressure, and subtle oscillations, plus pulls and stretches that relax hip tissues and nearby hamstrings and glutes.

Explore the eleo inguinal and femoral nerves in anterior hip pain, detailing sensory input to upper thigh and external genitalia and motor control of transverse abdominals and internal oblique.

Explore the subcostal nerve's motor and sensory roles and learn decompression techniques for the lower back, including pillow-assisted stretch and skin gliding.

Explore thoracic and lumbar nerves and learn nerve mobilization techniques, including skin stretch, traction, and yoga-like twists, to mobilize the nervous system and relax the spine.

Demonstrates a super scapula nerve release technique through skin-stretch and gentle traction along the spine of the scapula, with arm variations to relax and mobilize the nerve.

Enhance axillary nerve mobilization to ease shoulder pain and restore movement via skin-stretch, traction, and dynamic range-of-motion exercises that target the axillary area and teres minor.

Practice releasing the long thoracic and thoraco-dorsal nerves to improve scapular stability and shoulder mobility, using neck skin stretch, clavicle release, lat stretch, and rib cage opening.

Learn to relieve chest pain and tension by addressing pectoral nerve compression, sometimes coexisting with thoracic outlet syndrome, through traction, skin stretch, nerve mobilization, and the 'chicken wing' technique.

Explore nerve mobilization for the radial, medial, and ulnar nerves, detailing stretches, skin traction, and relaxation protocols to alleviate symptoms from carpal tunnel and inner elbow compression.

Learn cervical nerve pain relief techniques by decompressing spinal nerves through gentle skin stretch and traction, targeting forward head posture, occipital neuralgia, and neck relaxation.

Learn four neck nerves—the lesser occipital nerve, greater irregular nerve, transverse cervical nerve, and supraclavicular nerve—through skin-stretch and traction techniques to ease nervous system tension and relieve earache, with guided range-of-motion mobilization.
