Blockage-Based Care: Discover the Method That’s Transforming Modern Pain Treatment
Learn to manage more than symptoms, transform your results with every patient
This isn’t just another professional development workshop. It’s a breakthrough hands-on experience that gives you real tools to treat what others miss.
The learning objectives of this two-day session will address the four key insights related to the blockage hypothesis. Whether you use injections, acupuncture or manual techniques, this workshop will enhance your practice.
What you’ll Learn
Blockage-based care
Understand how any tissue injury or trauma can result in a persistent wound that can contribute to chronic regional and systemic tension, inflammation and stress
Palpation techniques
Learn to find hidden lesions in tissue using light touch to elicit a cutaneous stress response in sensitized nerves
Assessment techniques
Develop a rapid assessment technique that you can use to identify joint pairs, including remote and contralateral pairs, which can enhance any spinal manipulation technique
Empower your team
Empower provider teams to build collaborative treatment programs that improve results by targeting these lesions
Deliver better outcomes
Augment any rehabilitation program with neural therapy injections, or a neural therapy approach without needles, including PRP and regenerative procedures
Stretching techniques
Use the Seekers Method®, an assisted stretching technique developed by Dr Nahas, to find and release restrictions in movement and touch, breath and awareness

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is this workshop about?
This is a two-day hands-on training in The Seeker’s Method — a fascia-based, palpation-guided technique that integrates movement, breath, and awareness to identify and release blockages in the body. It introduces a new way of understanding how fascia and the nervous system work together.
Who is this workshop for?
It’s ideal for healthcare professionals including MDs, DOs, DCs, NDs, NPs, PTs, RMTs, acupuncturists, and osteopaths — especially those interested in manual therapy, neural therapy, fascia, or integrative approaches to chronic pain and dysfunction. Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome.
Do I need prior experience in fascia work or neural therapy?
No prior experience is required. This training is accessible to newcomers while still offering depth and challenge for advanced providers. You’ll learn a practical, step-by-step method that you can use in your clinic right away.
What can I expect to learn?
You’ll learn how to:
Use palpation to locate subtle fascial blockages
Apply breath and movement to support release
Map and follow tension along fascial planes
Support patient self-awareness and active participation in healing
Integrate these skills into your current clinical practice
