Autonomic Nervous System

The Automatic Nervous System consists of two parts, the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems.

The Sympathetic System is known as the “Fight of Flight” System

The Parasympathetic System is known as the “Eat, Sleep, and Heal” System

An important thing to notice is that the Digestive System cannot work effectively while you are in Sympathetic-On

Humans often get stuck in Sympathetic-On.  While in this mode, the digestive system doesn’t function well, sleep is difficult, and healing cannot occur.

Bowen Therapy and NST(Neurostructural Intigration Technique) put your body into the Parasympathetic so your body can heal itself and you can get well.

Bowen & NST helps restore you to balance and health.

Sphenoid Bone-Center of Gravity

Sphenoid bone is the keystone for the skull.

The other Cranial bones rest on the sphenoid.

The position of the sphenoid (keystone) dictates the position of ALL other skull bones.

The sphenoid bone is often moved by trauma(birth trauma and accidents).

Thus the position of the sphenoid bone dictates the center of gravity of the skull.

When it shifts causing the other cranial bones to shift as well, it moves the center of gravity of the skull.

This causes the brain to tell the neck, particularly the upper cervical vertebra, to move the get under the center of gravity of the skull so it won’t fall over.

This dictate from the brain changes the anatomical alignment of the whole body.

It is so important for your body to be in Balance and Bowen and NST(neurostructural Integration Technique) can help put your body back into balance to your center of gravity and realign your body to better health.

Neurostructural Integration Technique

The Basic principles that govern the structure and application of NST are that the body is indeed a self regulating mechanism that has needs to be balanced in the structural, chemical, and mental arenas if it indeed is going to manifest a robust physiology and consequently deliver health.

Like Chiropractic, Osteopathic and Craniosacral work NST heavily subscribes to the integration of the sacrum, spinal column and cranium as a functional starting point for the resolution of almost all symptoms.

In other words, if the sacrum spinal column and cranium are balanced all systems belonging to out passing through these important structures will be free to function unimpeded.

NST is often describes as Soft Tissue Osteopathy or Neuromuscular Osteopathy with a Naturopathic supporting philosophy.

NST is applied to the neuromuscular system and in a way that is totally unique to NST.  Muscles move bones after all and generally not the other way around.

The significance of the central core being balanced before other [arts are attended to cannot be overstated, as it is indeed the central cor through which all other systems are obligated to pass!

Other sequences that then relate to particular symptoms are added to the base core sequences to ultimately build a session that is tailored for the person’s needs on the day.

A session is then completed via an investigation and where necessary balancing of the Pelvic and Temporomandibular Joint complexes.

the resultant responses are deeply self-regulatory in a multi-dimensional sense, evidenced by profound changes not only in the skeletal system, but in the muscular system, nervous system and endocrine system.

NST can be safely applied from babies to the elderly for a myraid of conditions and symptoms with lasting effects.
