DermoNeuroModulation


Educational, interactive, diagnostic, practical
Join experienced therapist and educator Daniel Williams for this in-depth 2-day DermoNeuroModulation (DNM) course, designed for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and clinicians who want to explore a modern, evidence-based approach to working with pain and the nervous system. DNM, developed by Diane Jacobs, is a light-touch, indirect method that targets the nervous system, not the muscle, with the goal of calming sensitised nerves, reducing pain, and restoring ease of movement. During this highly practical course, you’ll learn the theory behind nociception, central sensitisation, and dermatomal mapping, alongside hands-on techniques that are safe, non-invasive, and deeply effective. Daniel’s clear, engaging teaching style makes complex neurobiology accessible, while plenty of supervised practice ensures you leave with both confidence and clarity. You’ll learn to work with the body, not against it, using patient-friendly positioning, skin stretch, and nervous system respect. This practical course is ideal for therapists seeking to move beyond deep pressure and into more neurologically-informed care. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, acute injuries, or nervous system dysregulation, DNM offers a gentle, science-backed toolset that gets results without force. Leave the course feeling inspired, informed, and ready to bring lasting change to your clients.
