AFCB, or Anterior Fascial Connections Bodywork, is an innovative massage therapy modality that focuses on the anterior side of the body. Throughout this course, you will notice something fundamentally different about AFCB. Clients are not passive recipients of treatment; instead, they actively participate through gentle movement, breathing, muscle testing, and active range of motion. We intentionally use playful names like Funny Faces, Chicken Wing, and Party Trick. Each session begins by creating a sense of safety before inviting the body to change. None of these choices are accidental.
Every aspect of AFCB is designed to convey one crucial message to the nervous system: "You are safe."
When a client moves their own arm rather than having it manipulated for them, they maintain agency. Laughter at a sequence name allows the nervous system to briefly lower its defenses. Through deep breathing, gentle movement, and experiencing success without pain, the brain learns new information about what is safe.
The therapist is carefully crafting the conditions that allow the body to choose to relax, which is a pivotal distinction that changes everything.
Join us for this Massage Therapy Continuing Education course—coming soon—and learn how AFCB can transform your practice.

Whether you've been practicing massage therapy for thirty years or thirty days, we're honored you've chosen to spend your time learning with us.
If you're anything like we were, you've probably spent years collecting techniques.
Every continuing education class promised one more muscle. One more release. One more way to finally help that “impossible” client.
We did the same thing.
And while every class gave us something valuable, we eventually found ourselves asking a different question.
What if the problem isn't that we don't know enough techniques? What if we're simply listening in the wrong place?
That question became the beginning of AFCB.
Each sequence has a silly name, this is a way to connect with our clients and help create a safe space.
In this course we will use techniques that seem a bit funny, but we are actually calming the nervous system.
Some sequences don't seem to make sense until you see the underlying connection. This course will give you the tools and fundamental routine, you get to use it to curate treatment plans for your clients.
