FTR is an amalgamated teaching modality for humans that explores the science behind the fascial system, the power of the autonomic nervous system, and ways with which to transcend chronic pain and trauma in a workable, everyday practice. These techniques have their roots in fascia massage and trauma-release methods that range from deep, slow pressure to very light touch – and even off-body. There are a multitude of approaches, each guided by and tailored for the individual. The more students know how to work with the different systems, the better they can facilitate healing in themselves and others.
