Plan by course title:


Introduction to Manual NVR™ for Structural and Functional Balance

This course allows you to begin the Manual NVR course series by working with the whole body before diving into regional studies. It is an ideal starting point for structural integrators and practitioners who work with whole body structural patterns. It can stand alone or prepare you for the deeper dive you can take in the next five courses of the Manual NVR curriculum.

Spring 2027 - Portland, Oregon (USA)


Fall 2027 - Atlanta, Georgia (USA)



Manual NVR™ Part 1: Neck, Upper Thorax,  “Roots of Arms”

Explore the upper thorax, shoulder girdle, neck, and thoracic outlet in great detail. If your work focuses on rehabilitative massage, MVA neck injuries, the residual effects of whiplash, brachial plexus impingement symptoms, and shoulder issues, this course will be a game-changer for you.


Part 1

September 18-20, 2026 - Taos, New Mexico, USA



Manual NVR™ Part 2: Lower Thorax, Pelvis, Hips

This course builds on skills learned in Part 1 and allows you to complete your work with the spinal column. Your clients will thank you for taking Part 2! You need not have mastered the Part 1 techniques before attending Part 2, but you will need the foundational concepts and skills taught in Part 1. The Masterclass in Taos is an optional but recommended integrative fourth day that provides you with assessment practice.
