THE FRIDA METHOD® INSTITUTE FOR NEURODEVELOPMENT

OUR PROCESS

What is The Frida Method® NeuroSomatic Technique?

Frida Method Neurosomatic Technique (FMNST) is an integrative manual and somatic movement therapy that identifies and corrects structural and biomechanical patterns in the body as well as thought patterns that cause emotional and physical pain. Traditionally, chronic pain is treated one-dimensionally, with an approach that might include massage or medicinal pain management. These methods are limited as they do not take the whole person into consideration.

In contrast, FMNST uses careful analysis of dysfunctional postural, sensory processing, and movement patterns that reveal emotional habits and thought patterns. We create a comprehensive plan that includes five stages of rehabilitation.

Some individuals are satisfied after achieving the first stage. Others prefer to engage in a deeper process. Individual needs are constantly evaluated.

HOW DOES THE FRIDA METHOD® WORK?

STEP 1: Eliminate Pain

Assess and eliminate pain in the body structures (bones, muscles, fascia, ligaments)
Increase capacities of the fluid systems (lymph, cranial/sacral, dura/meninges release)
Rehabilitate autonomic nervous system responses by integrating primary reflexes and sensory processing pathways

STEP 2: Increase Flexibility

Build awareness around lower brain responses such as pleasing self and others
Expand nervous system thresholds to allow for holding different belief systems and for positive instead of retaliatory communication

STEP 5: Build endurance

Physical practice, through movement and manual input actualization of skill sets and overall resilience
Education on limitations that may cause pain and dysfunction
Work to prevent recurrence of emotional and physical injuries
