Frequently asked questions
About the method
What is NeuroFascial Flow®?
NeuroFascial Flow® is a capacity-aware framework for facilitating and integrating change. It combines a Five-Step Framework with somatic safety, proprioception and a proprietary neurofascial clinical model.
Is NFFM® a fascia release technique?
Specific fascial practices can form part of NFFM®. The overall methodology also includes assessment, therapeutic pacing, somatic safety and integration, and can inform the sequence around appropriate interventions from other disciplines.
What are the five steps?
Establish Safety; Facilitate Softening; Activate Change; Re-Establish Safety; and Integrate & Adapt. The main technique or intervention generally happens in Step 3.
What does change receptivity mean?
Within NFFM®, change receptivity concerns whether someone has enough presence, support and available organization to receive and participate in a specific change at a specific time.
What is Somatic Tuning?
Somatic Tuning is an NFFM® term for continuously observing the earliest cues that a particular dose of change is becoming too much—or is still within available capacity. It is a proprietary construct under further study.
Is the Dural Fascial Kinetic Chain established anatomy?
The DFKC is NFFM®'s proprietary functional clinical model that brings together certain cranial, spinal, thoracic, pelvic and lower-body relationships. The complete model is not established as a universally validated anatomical chain.
For individuals
Is NeuroFascial Flow® a substitute for medical treatment?
No. Educational material and somatic practices do not replace diagnosis or indicated medical or mental health care. New, severe or worsening symptoms should be evaluated appropriately.
What is the NeuroFascial Reorganization Cycle™?
The NFRC is a structured 12-week educational self-practice process centered on capacity, body awareness and progressive neurofascial exploration.
Can I work with a practitioner?
Where available, certified Facilitators may guide non-hands-on work, and appropriately qualified Hands-On practitioners may provide manual applications within their scope.
For professionals
Is certification limited to chiropractors?
No. A range of professional backgrounds can be considered for the Facilitator pathway. Hands-on methods have separate scope and eligibility requirements.
Does certification grant a healthcare license?
No. NFFM® certification is specific education and does not grant legal authority to diagnose or provide professional services beyond existing training and licensure.
Are tuition details available online?
Current tuition and program terms are supplied through the admissions process to applicants exploring the appropriate track.
