NeuroThai: Treating pain by rebooting the nervous system (DNM)

“NeuroThai (or Pain treatments) is a gentle method of interacting with clients to help them resolve pain, regain function, and feel better through kind and compassionate touch. This is a truly holistic approach, which treats the clients’ nervous system and directly communicates with the brain”
What is NeuroThai (or Dermo Neuro Modulation)

Neuro Thai combines the modality of Thai Massage with the approach of targeting the clients nervous system (called Dermo Neuro Modulation) to help our clients with many pain presentations. From Thai massage we take the tradition of working on the mat, the importance of the listening touch, the mind body connection, body mechanisms and the creativity. This we combine with the principles of an approach called DMN (Dermo Neuro Modulation) where the focus is on the nervous system

An effective approach of manual therapy for addressing pain and movement restriction, born from an understanding of the importance of the role our nervous system plays with the experience of pain. It is a way to hack the nervous system and persuade to reboot itself. Which allows us to treat a lot of pain presentation safely

It is a hands on, interactive approach, which focuses on the nervous system from skin to brain. Techniques are not painful and generally involves light to moderate pressure, hand-holds are slow, intelligent, responsive, and effective

NeuroThai  approach:
  • A truly holistic approach as it not only looks at the ‘biological’ causes of pain but also the social and psychology causes
  • Treats the nervous system, which is responsible for signaling our brain
  • Compatible with pain science and neuropsychology
  • Safe for nearly any pain presentations
  • Considers the nervous system first and directly involves client in their own process
  • Techniques are: Slow, Light, Kind, Intelligent, Responsive, Effective
Who can benefit from pain treatments?

People with chronic or persistent pain syndromes that may present as:

  • (Chronic) muscular or skeleton pain (like back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, etc)
  • Non specific pain and discomfort
  • Have limited range of motions
  • Nerve entrapments, tunnel syndromes and neural irritation
  • Muscular bracing or spasm
  • Other presentations of musculoskeletal dysfunction

5 days course learn how to treat pain by treating the nervous system 

Why learn NeuroThai?

As a practioner of more then 20 years I have always been very interested in how to help my clients who are suffering from ‘Chronic’ pain, trying many different modalities. Most modalities though are tissue based and don’t pay any attention to the nervous system. It is the nervous system which is the link between our body and our brain. So when I found the approach of how to directly connect to the nervous system (called DNM or Dermo Neuro Modulation) something clicked and I thought by myself: ‘why didn’t we pay to attention earlier to this’.

If you want to learn how to treat client who are suffering from pain (like back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain etc.) this is the course for you. Through this course you will not only have a better understanding of the ‘science’ of pain, but also learn treatment techniques and an approach of how to massage clients in gentle and  safe way who are suffering from pain.

So when I found the approach of how to directly connect to the nervous system (called DNM or Dermo Neuro Modulation) something clicked and I thought by myself: ‘why didn’t we pay to attention earlier to this’.

In this approach we our focus will be the nervous system. It is the the nervous system is that communicates with our brain. And by giving a new/novel input to our nervous system we can can help people who are in pain much better.

As a caution I need to state that in no way this is ‘the magic bullet’ and that we can ‘heal’ everybody who is suffering from chronic pain. But this approach for sure will equip you to help people with pain much better and much effective. Not only through manual therapy, but also by how to communicate with them. And it also gives you a deeper understanding of the science of pain

About Neuro Thai/ Pain treatments

Neuro Thai combines the modality of Thai Massage with the approach of targeting the clients nervous system to help our clients with many pain presentations. From Thai massage we take the tradition of working on the mat, the importance of the listening touch, the mind body connection, body mechanisms and the creativity. This we combine with the principles of an approach called DMN (Dermo Neuro Modulation) where the focus is on the nervous system 

  • It is possible to combine Neuro Thai within a session of Thai Massage (or any other massage modality),
  • Or it is possible to make it a ‘stand alone massage’

It is important to understand that NeuroThai is not a new modality, but it is an  idea
or an approach that can be infused within any massage modality

What is revolutionary within NeuroThai (and which comes from DMN) though is that the focus will be on the client’s nervous system, which is the connection between the brain and our body.

What will you learn?

Tissue based approach< towards the nervous system. It is possible to integrate this revolutionary new approach into your existing massage< Although this course is very hands-on (80% of the course) we will also cover the theoretical background. Like how the nervous system works, how this fits in with modern Pain science, neuro dynamics, biopsysocial model of pain etc.
Course Content:

  • How to treat pain, dysfunctions, limited range, in neck, back, shoulders, jaw, spine, hips, sacrum, hands, arms, legs and more
  • Overall more then 50 to 60 techniques, all with the intention to decrease pain and/or increase range of motion
  • A whole new approach (NeuroThai/pain treatments/Dermo neuro Modulation). Bringing to focus of our practice on the nervous system;  The brain – skin connection. How by touching the skin we are communicating with the brain through the cutaneous nerves
  • What is pain; based on the Biopsysocial model of pain. A truly holistic and science based approach. Where one looks not only at the biological causes of pain but also on the social and psychological causes.
  • Pain Neuro science education. How to educate/explain to our clients in ‘normal’ language how chronic pain works. It can help to clear out misunderstanding/misinformation about (chronic) pain
  • Touch physiology (or quality of touch). Importance of touch and how touch works; a touch that is Slow, Light, Kind, Intelligent, Responsive, Effective, Warm
  • Therapeutic Alliance + Movement:  The importance of your relation with the client: interactive (instead of operative). Making the client an interactive part in the ‘healing’

Definition DNM (Dermo Neuro Modulating)

Dermo refers to the skin, neuro refers to the nervous system, and modulation means change. In other words, using the skin to affect the nervous system to produce change. This method of handling the body is intelligent in that it places a high significance on how our bodies are organized in receiving, discerning, and evaluating information and also on which system is most responsible for orchestrating change. DNM recognizes the role of our nervous system, targets the vast array of touch-receptors in the skin (about 6 yards of nerve receptors per square inch of skin), and uses a specific type of input conducive to working with the brain to make changes.
