Dermoneuromodulating - Treating the Patient as if Their Nervous System Really Mattered

Course overview

Most manual therapy is built around finding and fixing structural problems - but what if pain and movement difficulty have less to do with muscles and fascia, and more to do with an irritated nervous system? In this 11-hour on-demand course, Diane Jacobs, PT, introduces Dermoneuromodulating (DNM): a gentle, neuroscience-informed approach to manual therapy that targets cutaneous nerves and the skin to facilitate nervous system calming, pain modulation, and improved motor output. Grounded in Melzack's neuromatrix model and designed for any manual therapist ready to move beyond tissue-based thinking.
