Rapid Neuro Fascial Reset

 

Rapid NFR is a neurologically-based manual therapy that focuses on releasing tension and restrictions within the body's soft tissues. The hands-on, movement-based technique targets the nervous system to quickly alleviate pain and restore normal function. 

​

Rapid NFR works:

The therapy is based on the idea that pain can be caused by neurological hypersensitivity, which is when the central nervous system "locks down" tissue after an injury, even a minor one. This protective response can lead to the formation of scar tissue and a loss of mobility. 

During a session, a therapist uses their hands to evaluate and treat areas of restriction. The practitioner applies precisely directed pressure to affected muscles, tendons, fascia, ligaments, and nerves while the patient makes specific movements. This process stimulates the central nervous system, which is intended to "reset" the neural pathways and release built-up tension. 

 

Conditions treated by Rapid NFR is used to treat both acute and chronic conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, including: 

• Back and neck pain

• Headaches and migraines

• Sciatica

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Plantar fasciitis

• Frozen shoulder

• Shin splints

• TMJ disorders 

​

What to expect during and after a session:

• During the treatment: Sessions are performed with the patient fully clothed. As the therapist stimulates the neurological system, you may feel some temporary discomfort or pain, which is considered a normal part of the process.

• After the treatment: Clients often experience rapid relief, sometimes within a single session. It is common to feel some soreness in the treated area for a day or two afterward. Some people may also experience temporary side effects, such as fatigue or a "bruised" sensation. 

​

Evidence based results:

Rapid NFR is described by practitioners as an "evidence-based manual therapy" that relies on the latest research into the central nervous system's function. However, it is important to understand that anecdotal success and the existence of a reference list are not the same as being independently validated through rigorous scientific study. The official website does include a reference list for the science behind the technique, though. ​
