- NER-L is a profound, easy, and original way to release ligaments (and tendons). We will release and reset them using endodermic, mesodermic and ectodermic techniques or neural crest techniques. The technique feels amazing to receive, and the effects are often felt during the day as a warm unfolding.
- Ligaments stabilize the whole bony structure. It is essential to work with them to align and strengthen the whole bony framework.
- We will go over most skeletal ligaments in the body. We will work, for example, with the iliolumbar ligament, sacrotuberous ligament, sacrospinous ligament, anterior and posterior coccygeal ligaments, three levels for the sacroiliac joint, anterior/posterior pubic symphysis, inguinal ligament, lacunar ligament. pectineal ligament the ligaments around the vertebrae such as the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligament, ligamentum flavum, interspinous ligament, supraspinous ligament, etc.
- Releasing the ligaments of the mandible, for example, may give you immediate effects with TMJ problems or clicking of the joint.
- Releasing the ligaments of the thyroid and cricoid cartilages often helps relieve vocal dysfunction.

My right ankle pain GREATLY improved after foot, knee and ankle releases. Scheduled for foot and ankle surgical repair in November. Questioning if I need this now…
Sandra K Pickering, PTA, LMT
The instantaneous and lasting nature of this work (NER-L) is incredible. I occasionally feel unstable in my left foot. After releasing the ligaments/tendons in the foot, it immediately improved the range of motion and there was no pain. I’m grateful to experience this and to share it with others.
Niree Kalfayan, PharmD, Certified ZB Practitioner
I've been having pain in my left hip but after releasing the iliofemoral and pub-femoral ligaments (in the class NER-L), I felt an immediate reduction in pain and improved range of motion. Throughout the day, it felt a huge ease of motion in my hips.
Maria N, OT
My right knee feels amazing after yesterday (NER-L day 2). I can squat all the way down now. I wasn't sure how I would wake up today. However, when I woke up and took the dog for a walk, I felt amazing.
Diana Tillman, LMT
Three month post hip replacement, I haven't been able to bend down to pick things up for two years without pain or stiffness in lumbar. After treating the ligaments (with NER-L techniques) on the unaffected hip yesterday, this morning, I was not only able to bend and put on a shoe with a strap versus a slip on, but also my own compression sock on the affected side without an aid. Wow. Just wow, thank you
Sara McCreery, LMT, ANMT
Learn and revisit the many components and importance of ligaments. Addressing the pathologies and dysfunctions of ligaments and a strategic way of working with them with a non-invasive approach makes this class invaluable.
