Functional Integrative Movement Specialist - level 1
Spruce Grove, AB
The Functional Integrative Movement Specialist Level One course is designed to bridge the gap between manual therapy, neuroscience, and functional movement. This two-day intensive training introduces practitioners to an integrative model of assessment, correction, and neuromyofascial repatterning—rooted in applied neuroscience, fascial biomechanics, and breath mechanics.
You’ll explore how the body’s connective tissue network, nervous system, and cellular environment work together to shape movement efficiency, posture, and pain perception. Through self-myofascial release, guided movement, and assessment frameworks, participants will learn to identify dysfunctions and restore optimal movement patterns that enhance performance and longevity.

Somatic Exercise Teacher Training Modules 1-3
Online
NMP Somatic Education™ – Natural Movement Pattern Somatics
NMP Somatics™ is a Canadian-developed, progressive somatic movement education program (the Somatic Exercise Teacher Training) designed for Registered Massage Therapists and bodywork professionals. Grounded in Hanna Somatic Education, neuroplasticity, and sensory-motor learning, the program aligns with Canadian massage therapy values of client safety, professional boundaries, and evidence-informed practice. The training emphasizes how many chronic pain and postural patterns are neurological rather than structural and provides practical, non-forceful movement tools that complement hands-on massage therapy within scope of practice.
NMP Somatics™ is further informed by peer-reviewed clinical research, including findings published in the Saudi Journal of Medicine & Medical Sciences (2022), which demonstrated significant reductions in chronic neck and low back pain, decreased reliance on pain medication, and fewer physician visits following Hanna Somatic Education sessions, supporting somatic movement education as a safe, non-pharmacological approach to neuromuscular retraining.
Program Overview (Modules 1– 4). This professional training progresses from foundational neuromuscular awareness to applied teaching, observation, and assisted learning principles.
Participants learn how chronic pain, posture, and movement limitations are often neurological in origin, and how somatic exercises can safely retrain the brain-body connection.
Offered both In Person & Online.
PRICE:
Online Modules: $500 each
In Person Modules: $650 each
