It’s time to learn how to assess and treat their “Moving Violations”!
Our pain problems, fascial distortions and dysfunction show up when we are in motion…
In this 2-day, hands-on intensive, you’ll learn how to figure out those funky, dysfunctional movement patterns and then…
Address the pain at its source, providing lasting myofascial pain relief.
When treating pain from myofascial trigger points & dysfunction is not enough: Learn to see Dynamic Myofascial Dysfunctions in everyone’s unique gait & behavior
HUMANS ADAPT! Assessing today’s movement from yesterday’s (yesterYEAR’S) injuries enables you to identify NeuroMyoFascial adaptations and compensatory patterns
Recognize associated mechanical & systemic ramifications of myofascial dysfunction
Effective therapy for hidden Neuro-MyoFascial Dysfunctions: How to leverage the interactivity between the brain, peripheral nervous system, myofascial network, biomechanics, & aberrant movement
The BRILLIANT efficiency of the brain encourages INSTANT adaptive “solutions” that result in “functional” dysfunction
How injured muscles LEARN “the right wrong thing” that lead to ongoing dysfunctional adaptations so we can continue to function until pain STOPS US
Learn how to find the story behind the story … something you were never taught in school
Take a journey through the miraculous NeuroMyoFascial system: how and why it REALLY holds & releases pain patterns, postural compensations, old physical trauma and emotions
“This information & techniques have changed my life, my practice & the lives of my clients”
Shannon, I really can’t express how grateful & lucky I feel to have taken your Active Myofascial class. I loved the class and learned SO much! Your class is really the only one I’ve ever taken in 25 years as a massage therapist that was so scientific, so heartfelt, very intuitive, and so skillfully taught. The class flew by. I am so looking forward to an advanced class! You really are amazing. Thank you for all of your heartfelt ❤️compassion as a healer & teacher. So grateful!
Restore functional movement by activating key Mover & Stabilizer muscles with dynamic manual therapy techniques & the Walking Release™ Method
GRAVITY is your friend: Learn to access this “assistant therapist” for immediate results
Stabilizers! The muscle function you never learned in school, and isn’t in the text books: Learn how to reactivate these core muscles and instantly restore biomechanical ease
Once you are STABLE … You can MOVE! Understand the function of Movers: Learn the techniques to release & re-educate these key activation muscles
Learn the fascinating relationship between agonist and antagonist muscles: You’ve seen this in your practice, but what does it really mean? You’ll get it, as soon as you see it!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Any Practitioner yearning to better understand the nervous systems impact of the myofascial systems and have complex concepts simplified for immediate clinical application.

Gain a deeper understanding of overlooked causes of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction from a NeuroMyoFascial perspective
- Differentiate between active trigger points, latent trigger points and fascial distortion
- Be able to quickly identify dysfunction in the “Mover and Stabilizer muscles” that can lead to, or be the culprit of your patient’s pain
- Be able to identify specific myofascial pain pattern maps associated with neck, shoulder, hip and low back pain
- Learn the critical stabilizer muscles and how to PROPERLY activate them
- Be able to design patient-specific “gravity-assisted movement release” protocols after evaluating for issues with flexion, extension or rotation
- Gain an appreciation for long-standing and acute dysfunction driven by the brain/central nervous system which is “simply compensating for an injury/dysfunction/trauma/catastrophic event”
- Gain a deeper understanding of the EMOTIONAL impact of injury or trauma on the NeuroMyoFascial and limbic systems.
- Review the Adverse Childhood Experiences research (ACEs) as it relates to chronic pain, disability, addiction and disease

“Truly a world changing event: A new paradigm in NeuroMyofascial therapy”
Last week I was privileged to be able to attend the Active Myofascial Treatment Techniques: A Functional Approach class in Colorado Springs. What an amazing weekend of learning and connecting. I am of the age where many of my contemporaries reference if they made it to Woodstock in 1969 because it was a world changing event. I wasn’t there in 1969, but I was in Colorado Springs last weekend. Even though there weren’t 400,000 people in attendance, I view this class as a part of another world changing event. Thank you Shannon and Bonnie and everyone else who was there to share the experience.
Thomas A. Patterson, D.C., P.C.
“Any body worker needs to attend this class and learn the techniques!”
“Shannon’s Mover Stabilizer Myofascial class …helps me examine the fascial issues and how the nervous system drives trigger points, perceived muscle weakness, and then how to immediately make changes in the fascia and give immediate relief to the client! It will catapult your clients’ progress more than ever!”
