❇️ Pinpoint DNM Curriculum
✦ Part 1: FOUNDATIONS— 5.5 CE
〉Theory & Framework
Part 1 is the backbone of the DNM approach.
Start here if you're new to DNM or want to strengthen your clinical reasoning with a clear, evidence-based framework. While it stands solidly on its own, Part 1 pairs seamlessly with Part 2.
⬩Intro to Pinpoint DNM (1 hr. video pre-req for all parts if taken individually)
— Each module contains multiple lessons inside
⬩Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE)
⬩Mechanisms of Nociception
⬩Updated Pain Theories for Evicence-Based Practice
⬩Descending Modulation
⬩Spinal Reflexes & the Origins of Manual Therapy
⬩Touch Physiology & Neuroregulation

〉BioPsychoSocial (BPS) Practice
Part 2 is where theory becomes strategy, and strategy becomes action.
It fills in crucial gaps most hands-on trainings leave out: communication, clinical reasoning, and therapeutic context. These are the skills that make your techniques truly effective—because it’s not just about what you do with your hands, but the thinking that guides them.
Part 2 is fully available and CE-ready (7 CEs), but still in BETA. The curriculum is complete and can be taken now, while layout improvements and other refinements are underway. Participant feedback is actively shaping the final version.

Active learning community
It's well established that social and interactive learning increases retention dramatically.
So you also get an amazing built-in, private social network of peers and learners away from the noise and distraction of the rest of the internet. Social learning is the way to go
Lifetime, realtime updates
This course is a living entity. As information changes and research continues to emerge, the course also evolves and remains current.
You'll be updated any time something new is added or changed, and alerted of webinar Q&A dates and other exclusive opportunities.
Science-based framework
A clear understanding of how tactile feedback and cognitive engagement interact with the nervous system to bring about lasting changes
Sensible methodology
Learn safe and immediately actionable methods to achieve profound results for a variety of (most) musculoskeletal complaints and pain presentations
Practical application
Detailed videos of how-to effectively work with specific tunnel syndromes to ease adverse neural tension and modulate pain perception
Up-to-date content
A lifetime of access to course updates, news, and emergent research pertaining to DNM as the curriculum continues evolving
Retainable material
Pain is complex, but learning about how to best work with it should not be. Our learning formats make knowledge application easy
Added bonuses!
Delightful videos of Diane Jacobs, herself, in action demostrating many of the clinical applications and DNM techniques
Love from participants
I feel so excited to be learning work thats deeply rooted in modern pain science as the whimsical aspects of body work really were not my style. Highly, highly recommend this course to all body workers interested in working with the nervous system."
PINPOINT DNM opened my eyes to a really insightful theory with practical applications."

I felt like I was in a class and learning and not so much in solitude at home. The organization was on-point, flowed well, kept a steady pace, AND kept my interest.
— EMILI
I’m not a fan of virtual classes, but Tania kept me engaged throughout. You could feel the instructor’s passion for teaching this particular subject. It didn’t feel like the information was forced onto me or explained in a monotonous tone."
