Manual NVR Part 3 - September 13-15, 2024, Bellingham, Washington (in-person)
Register for the three-day in-person course. Includes video recordings from distance learning classes for your review, bonus lessons, and one-to-one mentoring.
In Manual NVR Part 3, we will focus on the lower extremities, assess lower body patterns, and develop a detailed understanding of the anatomy and function of the lower legs and feet. We will consider the structural balance within the feet, arch support, mid-foot stiffness, bunions, plantar fasciitis, knee issues, and how to help people adapt to minimal shoes.
You can expect from this course that you will experience improved one-legged balance and foot articulation in your own body, as well as a greater experiential understanding of how the work that we have done in the core of the torso is helpful for leg and foot symptoms. We will revisit the hamstrings and quads to explore how these affect tibial rotation and patellar tracking. We will explore the neural and vascular contribution to the spiral patterns that wind down through the lower limb. Adding detailed lower leg and foot techniques to your sessions will improve your clients' agility, resolve old injuries, and help prevent new injuries to the lower body.
Prerequisite: NVR Parts 1 and 2, either distance learning or in-person.
A 3-day immersion (21 hours) with unlimited opportunity for online review

Would you like to receive and practice NVR regularly with a practitioner who lives near you?
• Take care of your body's needs by making sure there is a practitioner near you who also knows NVR.
• Enhance your learning by studying and practicing regularly with someone who lives near you.
Both practitioners must register as students this year and you must live in close proximity to one another, but your practice partner could be registering for Part 1 while you are registering for Part 3. (This discount is an incentive to build an NVR practitioner community near you.) Let Kier know the name of your practice partner (via WhatsApp or text 1+503-720-7403). Each of you will receive a 25% discount by registering with coupon code Buddies2024.
Looking ahead, in Manual NVR Part 4, we will be learning hand and forearm work and will further discuss how neurovascular work can support the organs. We will also consider structural and functional balance throughout the body while we practice "listening" and review techniques from Parts 1, 2, and 3.
Manual NVR Part 5 is a practicum focused on assessment and practical application. In full sessions with outside models, you will apply all that you have learned in Parts 1 through 4, practicing session strategy under Kier’s guidance. This is a great opportunity to bring family members with you to receive work!
