Rapid Neurofascial Reset

RAPID is a type of massage that treats aches and pains by focusing on the nerves
rather than muscle tissue. It’s a lotion-free technique, so the client remains
clothed, and the treatment is movement-based to encourage the client to perform
active motion.
The purpose of RAPID is to reset nerve hypersensitivity back to neutral. The high
intensity of the technique along with the client’s active movements allows the
body to downgrade pain and reprogram sensory information processed by the
brain. This then causes an immediate change in how the body responds to what
it’s now feeling. It’s for this reason that treatment lengths are shorter and the
results last longer. Movement and return to activity are highly encouraged after a
RAPID treatment to reinforce the changes created by the body.
RAPID doesn’t physically alter tissues, it’s just changing the information from the
nerves, so it’s able to be used for many conditions and contributes greatly to faster healing.
