    Is This Wonder Techniquethe Solution Youve Been Looking For?The sad reality of life is that no matter how healthy you are, it seems thatmany of you will acquire some occasional aches and pains. Thankfully there areprofessionals like chiropractors and massage therapists that can help youthrough them.As you know, I am a major proponent of self healing tools. I felt it would bevery helpful to provide you with phenomenal training that can help train you toeffectively eliminate these aches and pains.This two-DVD set with bonus e-book teaches you all about a technique I was firstintroduced to back in 2000--Neurostructural Integration Technique or NST forshort. In fact, I was so impressed with this new technique, I brought thefirst NST course to the Midwest for health practitioners.And that was when I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Michael Nixon-Livy,the developer of this amazing technique.

    In my opinion, NST is a technique that belongs in the toolbox of any seriouspractitioner chiropractor, acupuncturist, osteopath, medical doctor,naturopath, dentist, physiotherapist, kinesiologist, massage therapist whosincerely wants to give his or her patients the best possible care.I actually learned NST nearly ten years ago and it was far more expensive to doback then as these DVDs did not yet exist.But now this DVD provides straightforward and easy-to-learn NST instruction fornon-health practitioners. If youre willing to invest a few short hours of yourtime to watch this two-DVD set, you too can discover the wonders of this basictechnique.The Best Kept Secret in HealingAccording to this DVD, NST was virtually unknown back in 2000, NST is a processthat allows your body to regulate itself, and therefore, many symptoms

    disappear.NSTs underlying philosophy is that resolving imbalances in your spinal columnallows for entire body auto-regulation to a transcendent level of relaxation,well being, and rejuvenation.The DVD explains NSTs belief that by resolving total body imbalances andrestoring your bodys structural integrity, decoding your nervous system andresetting your body are the beneficial results.NST is a soft-tissue technique, designed to help reduce muscular and evenpsychological imbalances in your body.According to the DVD, perhaps best of all, results surface quickly, typically intwo to four sessions..From A to Z NST Can Play an Important Role in Healing

    As Michael Nixon-Livy explains on this DVD set, NST is useful for an extremelywide array of conditions and is safe and effective for all ages, includinginfants and the elderly.Indeed, Michael Nixon-Livy explains that there are no contraindications for NST(with the exception of one procedure not recommended for use with pregnantwomen).And heres an important point to mentionAccording to the DVD, theres no danger in trying NST for a particularcondition. Similar to classic homeopathy principles, if it doesnt produceresults or is not the right treatment for a particular condition there are

    no ill effects.Michael Nixon-Livy explains that even if you are not an expert, you cannotharm someone by applying NST techniques.The techniques have helped individuals with various conditions.NST improves joint mobility, increases cellular hydration and helps removetoxins. It allows the free movement and assimilation of nutrients into areas ofyour body previously blocked by tension and congestion.Tame the Fight or Flight Response

    Mental, emotional, and physical stress can overload your sympatheticnervous system.

    As this DVD set explains, NST affects your body primarily through your autonomicnervous system as well as your bodys bioenergetic systems.Your autonomic nervous system controls over 90 percent of your bodys functions.You name it your heart, your circulation, your breathing, your digestive, andeven your reproductive and endocrine functions depend upon a smoothly operatingautonomic nervous system.You have two parts to your autonomic nervous system: your sympathetic andparasympathetic nervous systems.Your sympathetic nervous system responds to stimuli especially stress andemotional upset and revs into action with fight or flight" responses. Yourblood pressure increases, your heart beats faster, and your digestion slowsdown.

    The parasympathetic nervous system is where your body relaxes.The parasympathetic nervous system is where your body relaxes. Blood pressuredecreases, your heart beats slower, and digestion can occur.Your body must be able to shift effortlessly from sympathetic to parasympatheticnervous system activity to ease the effects of stress, and recover from injuryand illness.This shift does not easily occur in a frenzied, stressful pace of life.Immeasurable demands on your time, patience, and abilities can tax an alreadyoverloaded sympathetic nervous system.This constant state of stress physical, mental, and emotional takes its tollon your body. High stress results in over-stimulation of your sympatheticnervous

    system.As a result, you can begin to see a negativespiral effect on your body:Neuromuscular tension develops throughout your bodyHigh levels of cortisol pulse through your blood and tissuesYour immune system may not function as well as it otherwise wouldNutrient and energy stores become depleted

    As Michael Nixon-Livy explains in this DVD set, NST simply brings your body backinto a state of balance by unleashing a surge of parasympathetic functioning.The DVD and e-book explain that patients frequently report a change in theirresponse to stressful situations and its not even uncommon to experience amajor psychological or emotional breakthrough after NST.

    How NST Differs From Other Healing SystemsAs Michael Nixon-Livy explains, NST truly stands apart from any other technique.Heres how NST differs from other therapeutic systems:NST is not massageTherere no oils or lotions, or for that matter, no deep contact with muscletissues. Using only a light touch, NST movements relieve muscle tensions,strains, and restores normal lymphatic flow.NST is not chiropracticThere is no manipulation of joints. NST relieves muscle tensions bilaterally,

    which allow misalignments to correct themselves.NST is not energy workAlthough the bodys electromagnetic field does respond to NSTs physicalstimulation, NST does not deliberately trigger emotions as in some mind-bodytherapies. However, many patients see profound shifts with emotionalimpairments when emotion-trapped muscular tension is relieved.NST is not trigger point workPri-moves pinpoint where two muscles or muscle groups overlap with fascia your bodys connective tissue and this frequently includes trigger pointlocations. According to the DVD, NST alleviates referred pain from triggerpoints, along with improving joint mobility and muscle coordination.NST is not fascia releaseThe DVD explains how unlike manual deep tissue fascia release, NST movementsvibrate the fascia surrounding each muscle, easing the tension and allowingadhesions to free themselves naturally, enabling scar tissue to soften andshrink.NST is not acupressureAs explained in the DVD, NST stimulates energy circulation and clearsenergetic blocks. Several of the moves are located along acupuncture meridians

    and on traditional acupressure points, but NST does not follow Chineseacupressure patterns. However, according to the DVD, meridian readings showstrong and immediate changes after an NST session!

    NST In Action

    What does NST look like in action?As the two-disc DVD set details, a treatment session involves the application ofa series of specialized pri-moves or specific rolling motions acrossmuscle, tendon, nerve, and ligament points.

    The DVD Detailsa Key to NSTs Success: The Sequence of Pri-Moves

    Michael Nixon-LivyThe DVD explains how by rolling over designated points (as seen in this diagramtaken from the [e-book]), energetic channels and pathways open and close,creating a flow of energy and vibrations between points.

    Pri-moves sedate the tissues and bilaterally balance muscular tensions.As Michael Nixon-Livy explains , through the specific sequence of pri-moves,muscular tension comes into balance throughout your body and allows your bodyto communicate with itself, balancing tissues, muscles and organs.According to the DVD, balanced muscular tension throughout your body is theultimate goal of NST and the key to opening the channels to wellness andhealing.What can you expect following an NST session?According to the two-disc set and e-book, in addition to a feeling of deeprelaxation, many individuals experience a rapid reduction of symptoms (usuallywithin one to four days), an increase in energy and a strong sense ofwell-being.The DVD set and e-book not only give the viewer an idea of what NST looks like,

    it also provides a glimpse of its origins and explains how Michael Nixon-Livycame into the picture.It All Started With One Mans CompassionThe DVD set also provides the viewer with the history of the development of NST.According to the DVDs and e-book, back in the late 1950s, Tom Bowen, anosteopath in Australia, discovered specific root causes of his patientscomplaints, including:Asymmetrical whole-body muscular tensionDehydrated, constricted fascial tissues

    Imbalances in the cranial system, especially the temporomandibular jointCorresponding imbalances in the sacral-coccygial-inominate system

    In essence, Bowen discovered that the sacrum, coccyx, cranium, andtemporomandibular joint complex and the dural membrane of the spine formed acritically functioning unit in the body.The DVD explains that Bowen recognized that the uninterrupted flow of energybetween these components was crucial to ones health, balance, and well-being.Disruption to this unit resulted in ill health.According to the DVD and e-book, working with his patients, Bowen uncovered aparallel between this important functioning unit and specific patterns ofmuscular dysfunction. When he was able to release his patients neuromuscularimbalances, their presenting symptoms and complaints disappeared.Most importantly, he discovered that stimulating your body in a certain wayalerts your bodys intelligence. A resulting unraveling of neuromuscularcompensations typically transpire over the next four to seven days as symptomsand conditions leave your body.The DVD explains how, gifted with an extreme hypersensitivity in his fingers todetect energy blockages in nerves and muscles, Bowen treated everyone fromstreet drunkards to elite members of society. In short, he became famous for hisability to help when others could not.According to the DVD, at one point in his career around 1975, Bowen wassuccessfully treating 13,000 people per year.The Evolution of Soft Tissue Therapy

    About Michael Nixon-LivyAustralian-born, Nixon-Livy launched his career in complementary medicine in1974, melding bodywork therapies, human relations, psychology, nutritionalscience, and physiology.As an Applied Physiologist, he took on the challenge in 1991 of transforming theadvanced principles of the late Australian bodywork genius, Tom Bowen, into apractical and teachable system. Four years later, Michaels revolutionaryNeurostructural Integration Technique (NST) was born. To this day, Michaelteaches NST to professional health practitioners around the globe.According tothe DVD set, Tom Bowen spent the next 30 years painstakingly researching andrefining his techniques with what he referred to as soft tissue therapy.

    The DVD also explains howUpon his death in 1982, only five individuals had learned Bowens techniquesduring his lifetime.One of those students, Oswald Rentsch, interpreted the early work of Tom Bowen

    into what is recognized today as the Bowen Technique.A few years later, in 1991, an Australian

    Physiologist, Michael Nixon-Livy, recognized the need for Tom Bowens later,more advanced work to be integrated into a usable and teachable system.By 1995, Nixon-Livys work had achieved the status of a truly integrated andeffective system a Super Hybrid technique so to speak.Nixon-Livys system built upon not just Tom Bowens finest life work, but alsoincorporated the patterning and sequencing work of Major Bertrand DeJarnette

    oe of the true pioneers of chiropractic and his Sacral-Occipital Technique.Finally, Michael Nixon-Livy utilized applied kinesiology to wrap both advanced

    techniques together for his transcendent Neurostructural IntegrationTechnique (NST).

    seenespecially when used with more difficult or un-resolvable cases.According to the two-DVD set, The Psychosomatic Institute of Milan, Italy, alongwith the Northern Italian Government and the World Health Organization (WHO)researched the effectiveness of NST from 2004 to 2006.The findings?The DVD explains that NST helped resolve back and neck pain and results weremaintained for long periods, thus improving quality of life.

    Dynamic Body Balance 1, 2, and 3

    The two-disc DVD explains that the core of NST known as Dynamic Body Balance1, 2, and 3 focuses on these regions of the body:lumbarthoraciccervical

    According to the DVD, Dynamic Body Balance (parts 1, 2, and 3) alone works asthe perfect therapeutic solution to many health challenges such asuncomplicated neck, back, shoulder, hand, foot and leg pain.However, the DVD reports that sometimes more difficult problems prevent the core

    treatment from sufficiently resolving presenting symptoms and keeping themfrom resurfacing.

    When Your Body May Be Crying Out For Deeper Healing

    The DVD DetailsHow Shoulder Procedures Play an Important Role in NST

    The DVD explains the belief that some seemingly simple health challenges involvedeeper issues related to your sacrum, cranium, and pelvis.Take temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ) for example.According to the DVD, NST believes that this common debilitating condition,

    especially among women, involves not just your jaw (as you might expect), butyour pelvis, sacrum, and possibly even your knees and shoulders!Visual problems or emotional conditions may be the result of disturbances withyour coccyx and sacrum.Likewise, the DVD explains the NST belief that chronic sinus conditions may bethe result of a condition connected to your sacrum and shoulder, along with yourcranium.There are five categories designed to complement Dynamic Body Balance and adddepth, specificity and lasting results to the core treatment:Upper Extremity (Shoulder, elbow, and wrist procedures)Lower Extremity (Hamstring, knee, and ankle procedures)Thoracic (Lung, heart, and breast procedures)

    Central Base (Sacrum, coccyx, and pelvic procedures)Cranial (Temporomandibular joint procedures)

    The DVD reports on the NST belief that all together, Dynamic Body Balance 1, 2,and 3, along with the five additional categories comprise a healing system in aclass of its own.Are YOU Ready to Learn NST?
