Advanced Training

A 2-day immersive training with Dr. Neel Bulchandani, March 14–15, unveiling the Functional Mandibular Diaphragmatic Integration (FMDI) system for the first time.

Elevate Your Practice Beyond the Basics

You’ve mastered the Foundation. You understand the two-way street between the floor of the mouth and the body’s four primary pillars. Now, it’s time to refine your precision.

The Advanced Floor 4 Training is designed for the practitioner ready to move from general screening into granular, high-level clinical diagnostics and treatment. This is where we move beyond the Four Pillars and expand into the Deeper 16 Areas of the airway map.

Join a select group of practitioners for an intensive, clinically focused program that fuses the foundational precision of Floor of the Mouth/Floor 4 with the world-premiere of Dr. Bulchandani’s advanced system: Mandibular Diaphragm Cranio-viscero-plantar Integration (MDCVPI) distilled to Functional Mandibular Diaphragmatic Integration (FMDI).

Over four days, you’ll refine diagnostic clarity, deepen palpatory accuracy, and integrate mandibular, cranial, visceral, and plantar relationships into a unified, reproducible clinical approach.

What is the Functional Mandibular Diaphragmatic Integration (FMDI)?

Functional Mandibular Diaphragmatic integration (FMDI) is a clinical method developed by Dr. Neel Bulchandani that links the mandibular diaphragm (floor of the mouth) with cranial mechanics, visceral relationships, and plantar/foot dynamics. When the mandibular diaphragm frees, the body undergoes a “phase shift”: a rapid, system-wide reorganization that unlocks easier breathing, improved alignment, and more efficient movement.

Who Is This Training For?

This master-level course is for practitioners who have completed the Foundational Floor 4 Training and are working with complex, multi-layered cases, including:

- Chronic TMJ Patients with persistent, non-responsive pain.

- High-Level Athletes looking for performance optimization through airway efficiency.

- Severe Developmental Cases involving complex feeding and speech issues.

Note: Whether your scope of practice allows for hands-on treatment or you work in a virtual capacity, you will learn how to screen and guide patients through self-assessment protocols.

New for this Training

  • Procedural instruction on delivering pre- and post-operative adjunctive care for tongue tie (and lip and cheek tie) surgical release, from implementing Floor 4 to integrating the full FMDI protocol.

  • Specific application pathways for individuals undergoing palatal expansion procedures and for those preparing for maxillofacial surgeries.

What You Will Gain

  • Precision Diagnostics: Move away from general screens and toward specific, high-level tests to find the primary restriction faster.

  • The Deeper 16: A granular map of the fascial and neurological intersections of the human body.

  • Advanced Treatment Arc: Systems for managing long-term, complex patient care from initial assessment to total homeostasis.
