Help animals move more freely
without force or excessive pressure
Beyond the Muscle:
Neurovascular Techniques for Deeper Release
Beyond the Muscle teaches you how to release deep-seated tension by working with nerves and arteries—the hidden drivers of muscle restriction. Using gentle, science-backed neurovascular techniques, you’ll restore mobility and improve muscle function—without strain on the animal or your hands.
By targeting restrictions most bodyworkers overlook, you’ll gain the skills to tackle complex cases with confidence—setting you apart as a trusted expert in resolving tension and restoring function.
Which course will you take first?
What If Muscle Tension Isn’t the Real Issue?
When an animal’s movement is restricted, it’s easy to focus on tight muscles. But the real problem often runs deeper—within the nerves and arteries that feed those muscles.
Beyond the Muscle teaches you a gentler, smarter approach to unlocking tension at its source. Inspired by Kieran Schumaker’s Neurovascular Release and drawn from The Art & Science of Nerves, this course gives you practical techniques to release deep-seated guarding without force.
You’ll learn to:
Relax the back to ease spinal tension and discomfort.
Release the hind end for greater mobility and range of motion.
Free up the subscapularis for smoother, more fluid front-end movement.
By shifting your focus beyond the muscle, you’ll achieve faster, longer-lasting results—without overworking your hands or the animal’s body.
Why this course?
Less Effort, More Impact
Instead of fighting resistance, use subtle techniques that release deep restrictions without excessive pressure.
Gentle Yet Transformative
Neurovascular work helps animals feel safe and at ease, allowing for deeper relaxation and better movement.
Stand Out as a Practitioner
Expand your skill set with advanced techniques that address issues other bodyworkers miss—making you the go-to expert for challenging cases.
What students are saying
I work with a dog with spinal issues, ACL rupture, collapses, with periodic clubbing and dragging of the injured hind left
The dog LOVED the work (he has lost a lot of muscle so I wasn't sure how he would respond to my fingers between his ribs so I just stayed open and curious and was VERY pleasantly surprised, so was his mom!).
And what typically takes me 30 mins to see an improvement with his gait only took 15 minutes today! You weren't kidding when you mentioned we will see results with less effort.
Thank you so much for for sharing this. I am fascinated with the nervous system and grateful that you are too.
The dog and I just had a very satisfying session all around thanks to you.
