A Message from Dr. Richard Nahas
“Thank you for joining us for this very special hands-on experience. This workshop will change the way you understand pain and injury. You’ll be learning how to use your hands—and your awareness—to feel and release hidden blockages in fascia that can affect every system of the body. We’ll combine practical tools from neural therapy, movement science, acupuncture, and the Seekers Method to help you treat the root cause of dysfunction in yourself, your patients, and your team.
Whether you're a clinician, therapist or seeker of new knowledge, I believe this will be a transformative experience for you. I look forward to seeing you soon.”
“This is not a conference. It’s not a lecture. This is a retreat”.
A Two-Day Immersion into Neural Therapy and Blockage-Based Care
You’ll be learning with your hands, your breath, and your body. You’ll be experiencing what release feels like, both in yourself and in others. And you’ll be gaining the tools to bring that experience to your clinical practice.
This Is an Active Experience
You’ll be learning in real time by observing, touching, moving, and listening. You’ll work in pairs and small groups. You’ll be guided closely by Dr. Nahas and the Seekers Method team. Whether you’re here to heal others or yourself—or both—this weekend will shift how you see the body, how you understand pain, and how you treat it.
What You Will 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
Workshop Host: Dr. Richard Nahas
Our upcoming workshop will be hosted by Dr. Richard Nahas, President of the North American Academy of Neural Therapy, integrative physician, and founder of The Seekers Method.
Dr. Nahas is internationally recognized as an innovator in integrative medicine, bringing together modern science and traditional healing systems.
His work using neural therapy and manual therapy to treat fascia has opened new frontiers in understanding how the body heals, making him uniquely qualified to lead this transformative learning experience.
