The Release Recovery System™
Helping providers who perform or support tongue, lip, & buccal tie releases better understand stalled healing, compensation, and recovery progression.
✓ Perform tongue, lip, or buccal tie releases
✓ Support patients during pre and post-operative care
✓ Feel like outcomes are inconsistent
✓ Want to better understand compensation patterns and healing
✓ Work with complex cases including hypermobility and EDS
✓ Are looking for a more functional, whole system approach
The procedure may be completed, but:
✓ Compensation patterns remain
✓ Instability is still present
✓ Tissue healing becomes reactive
✓ Scar tissue limits mobility
✓ Nervous system guarding persists
✓ Function fails to integrate long term
✓ Compensation patterns remain
✓ Instability is still present
✓ Tissue healing becomes reactive
✓ Scar tissue limits mobility
✓ Nervous system guarding persists
✓ Function fails to integrate long term
Without proper preparation and recovery support, patients often default back into the same dysfunctional patterns that existed before the release.
Why Outcomes Often Fall Short
Most providers are taught how to identify and release the restriction.
Few are taught:
How fascia influences tension patterns
How instability impacts recovery
How nervous system regulation changes healing
How hypermobility alters tissue response
How compensation patterns affect long-term outcomes
What to look for throughout the healing process
This course combines:
✓ Preparation strategies
✓ Manual therapy considerations
✓ Healing progression
✓ Assessment scar tissue management concepts
✓ Nervous system and stability considerations
✓ Hypermobility and EDS modifications
✓ Long-term integration principles
What Providers Are Taking Away From This Training
"The Release Recovery System contained such valuable information. Most courses touch lightly on tongue tie stretches, exercises pre and post op, what to look for during the healing process. I found it very useful in the section that talks about mobility protocols, tension vs reattachment, and providers that we should be referring patients to. Scar tissue management in itself is so huge and no one really talks about it.The list goes on! It's a deep dive of Jessica's knowledge! Do not hesitate to purchase this course."
