RAPID NeuroFascial Reset (or “RAPID-NFR”, or just “RAPID” for short) is a professional, evidence-based soft tissue, movement-based therapeutic technique that addresses the central nervous system’s role in alleviating pain, tension, and restrictions within muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascial tissue, and nerves. This non-invasive, drug-free manual therapy works to desensitize and calm hypersensitivity in the nervous system that causes pain, helping to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and increase flexibility.

If you have repetitive strain or complex issues caused by an injury, including back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, headaches, or TMJ, a RAPID NeuroFascial Reset is the right service for you.
Your treatment will begin with an in-depth consultation and comprehensive assessment, which will include ROM and orthopaedic testing. Your certified massage therapist will go over your health history and any issues you want to address, creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. You will not be asked to undress, so be sure to wear comfortable “athletic” clothing that is easy to move in.
Every treatment session is a combination of examination and treatment. Through palpating with their hands, the therapist assesses the texture, tone, and range of motion of the affected area, evaluating connective tissue restrictions and adhesions. Areas are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific movements from the client, using targeted techniques to break up scar tissue, eliminate trigger points, and mobilize restricted fascia. The movement phase of the treatment may be uncomfortable, as the neurological system is being stimulated to restore normal function to the tissues but you will feel great in the following days and experience less pain and more ease of movement. It is a fairly quick and efficient process, usually only 30-45min in length, offering immediate relief with long-lasting results.
It is important to maintain a dialogue on your comfort levels so your therapist can make adjustments to the pressure and techniques being utilized. Please understand that not all issues require deep tissue work or prolonged deep pressure. Your experienced, qualified therapist is trained to identify the source of your issue and treat it as needed, using gentle yet effective methods when appropriate.
After the massage, you may feel relaxed and rejuvenated. It’s important to drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins that were released during the massage. Your therapist may also provide you with some aftercare advice, such as remedial exercises, stretching or self-massage techniques to help facilitate your rehabilitation and progress, educating patients on self-care to prevent future injury. A return date for your treatment plan will also be suggested to keep you on track. Most patients benefit from a series of sessions, with treatment frequency customized based on your condition and response.
RAPID NeuroFascial Reset involves deep tissue work, and the pressure applied can be intense. While it is generally not painful, you may feel some discomfort during the treatment. However, this advanced, specialized technique is designed to accelerate recovery with minimal downtime.

RAPID NeuroFascial Reset (RAPID NFR) was developed by Sherry and Rob Routledge, two Canadian-based, registered massage therapists, with over 40 years combined experience, who are members of professional associations and maintain continuing education in advanced bodywork techniques. They created RAPID NFR to address the underlying causes of chronic pain and dysfunction in the body’s fascial system, offering a natural, holistic alternative for those frustrated with failed previous treatments.
The technique combines elements of several established modalities, such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and active release techniques, to create a unique and effective integrative approach to treating soft tissue injuries and pain. RAPID NFR has gained popularity in recent years due to its success in treating a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries to chronic pain and postural imbalances, including muscle knots, stiffness, spasm, whiplash, and migraines.
RAPID NeuroFascial Reset (RAPID NFR) is a proven, innovative soft tissue technique used to address pain, dysfunction, and tightness caused by neurofascial adhesions. This clinical massage and therapeutic bodywork method is different from traditional massage, offering more targeted and lasting relief.
RAPID NFR works by using specific hand pressure to target areas of fascial restriction, stimulating the nervous system to release the adhesion and promote healing. The technique helps to resolve restrictions, soften tight tissues, lengthen shortened muscles, and decompress compressed nerves.
RAPID NFR should not be painful. The pressure used is adjusted to each individual’s comfort level and the therapist will communicate with the client throughout the session to ensure the pressure is appropriate. While some patients may experience temporary discomfort during treatment, most find it tolerable and report feeling significantly better afterward.
RAPID NFR can benefit individuals with a wide range of conditions, including acute and chronic pain, sports injuries, postural imbalances, and more. It is safe and effective for individuals of all ages, including children and seniors. Athletes seeking performance optimization, office workers with repetitive strain, and anyone experiencing work or activity limitations due to pain can all benefit from this treatment.
