The Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) is a dynamic and skillful
professional bodywork technique, which cleverly alerts the body’s innate
healing wisdom to be activated. The resultant effect of this is a
comprehensive reorganization of the musculature of the body characterized
by a lasting relief from pain and dysfunction plus an increase in energy
levels.
The response is most often profoundly effective and sometimes miraculous.
NST is essentially a soft tissue therapy designed to release muscles and
fascia in a manner which is safe for all ages, from newborns to the elderly.
It is often called “contextual healing” as its main aim is to re-integrate the
body as a whole. It is for this reason that there are no major
contraindications, essentially rendering the technique useful for a wide
range of conditions from acute pain to chronic conditions.
A treatment comprises the application of sequences of specialized moves
on the body, carried out in a very specific and systematic manner. There
is no forceful manipulation, rather a cross-fibre maneuvering of muscle,
tendon, ligament or nerver, using varying pressure and incorporating resting
periods to allow the body to respond. Treatment can be done either through
clothing or directly on the skin.
Throughout the session the recipient experiences deep relaxation, essentially
providing a ‘window of opportunity’ to comprehensively reorganize itself via
the natural activation of various neural reflexes.
Substantial relief is frequently attained after the first session, however long
term resolution is generally attained after the second or third session.
Anywhere from 10-45 minutes is required to complete a session depending
on presenting symptoms.
