❇️ Pinpoint DNM Curriculum Outlines

〉This immersive hands-on training complements the online courses and may also be taken on its own.

The Live Class mirrors the online curriculum from Part 3: Treatment Techniques – Manual Application, with select key concepts from Parts 1 & 2 reviewed on Day 1 to ensure foundational alignment.


⬩CLASS PREP to be completed before the first day: Intro to Pinpoint DNM (1 hr. video pre-req for all parts).

⬩DAY 1 (3 hrs)
— Class into, pain science 101, foundational theory and practice.  

The remaining class days cover the following with general neuroanatomy:  

⬩UPPER BODY TREATMENT PROTOCOLS
— Head & Neck
— Neck & Upper Back
— Lateral Trunk & Inferior Shoulder
— Posterior & Superior Shoulder
— Anterior Shoulder & Trunk — Arm, Elbow, Forearm & Hand  

⬩LOWER BODY TREATMENT PROTOCOLS
— The Back
— Posterior Pelvis
— Lateral Pelvis & Hip
— Anterior Pelvis & Hip
— Posterior+Medial Thigh & Knee
— Knee & Lower Leg
— Foot & Ankle

〉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
⬩The 7 Foundations of DNM Application (Intro to Methodology)
⬩Final Assessment Quiz

〉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.

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."

— GENNA B

PINPOINT DNM opened my eyes to a really insightful theory with practical applications."

— ANONYMOUS

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."

Pinpoint DNM Overview

In this course, participants will learn both the crucial theoretical framework of dermoneuromodulation (DNM) and its practical methodology offered through a hybrid of convenient online learning and/or live classroom instruction.

Specific manual applications are demonstrated under a lens of clinical reasoning aligned with the most current understanding of touch physiology and pain science.

Because the language of physiology is universal, the DNM framework seamlessly incorporates into any modality making it a valuable asset to any evolving practice and of great benefit to many patients and clients, some of whom may not have found relief through other methods.
