What You Will Be Able To Do With NST

Help remove low back pain permanently

Relieve most types of muscle pain, including fibromyalgia

Breathe better and improve asthma

Radically improve, if not eliminate TMJ

Eliminate nagging sport injuries.

What Is Neuro-Structural Integration Technique?

NST is a subtle muscle/nerve/connective tissue technique. The work is:

• gentle,
• non-invasive
• and can be performed through clothing

Unlike massage or other manipulations that try to force a change, NST simply resets your body to heal itself. The results are profound and lasting, and usually apparent within two or three sessions.

NST's application is completely safe and appropriate for everyone from highly trained athletes, to newborns, to pregnant women, to the elderly and infirm.

How I Became Involved With NST

I first learned about NST from a delightfully wise physician, Dr. Elena Burton. I met her at my Colorado training camp a few months ago in July. This technique is virtually unknown in this country as it was developed by a non-medical person.

I am VERY excited to be offering this course. I only go to several courses a year and this is one of the few ones I have decided to take five days out of my busy schedule to attend. I will personally be at all five days of the Basic Course and will be teaching some of the nutrition principles there.

It's based on principles and practices developed by Australian Tom Bowen, beginning almost 50 years ago. By the time of his death in 1982, Mr. Bowen had worked on hundreds of thousands of patients, forever changing the nature of soft-tissue work.

You Would Be One of the FIRST People in This County Who Are Trained in This Work

The work is virtually unknown in this country but is widely used in Europe. There is only one certified instructor North America, Gene Dobkin, and he will be teaching the courses. Many people who take this training may be the only one trained in this work in your entire state.

I live in Illinois and no one is trained in this state. Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New York, North Carolina, New Mexico, Pennsylanvia, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming are the only states that have certified practitioners. Many of these states only have one person using this work.

NST Is a New Concept in Bodywork.

It is neither derived from nor substantially similar to any other physical modality:

There is no manipulation of joints or bony structures such as in chiropractic -- however,misalignments will almost invariably right themselves.

There is no deep or prolonged contact with muscle tissues as in massage -- however,muscle tensions and strains are relieved and normal lymphatic flow restored.

Although many traditional acupoints are included in the sequences, there are not addressed or organized in anything resembling Chinese medical theory -- however,meridian readings will show strong and immediate changes.

There is no heavy probing of fascia or connective tissue as in Rolfing or deep-tissue work -- however,fascia rehydrates, adhesions release and scar tissue softens and shrinks.

There is no strategic 'duress' or invoking of emotional content as in "mind-body" therapies -- however,internal psychological shifts are very common.

There is no intentional "channeling" or redirecting of energies -- however,nearly everyone reports a pleasant, trance-like state, a quickening and subliming of the spirits, and a profound sense of well-being and ease.

NST is a Strikingly Innovative

NST is not massage, chiropractic, or acupressure, but rather a system of stimulating body reflexes. Simple movements are done across muscles, nerves and connective tissue. This gentle contact causes the neuromuscular system to reset all related tension levels, promoting natural healing. The relief is profound and lasting, affecting muscular, digestive, respiratory, glandular and energetic systems.

There are TWO Courses an BASIC and an INTRO Course

BASIC COURSE

The basic course is the best one to take if you are going to do this course. It is a five day course and the first day and one half include the Intro course. This is the course that is most appropriate for hands on health care professionals, like osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, and massage therapists.

However, there are TWO requirements to attend the Basic course.

You MUST have an understanding of basic anatomy and some physiology. If you do not then you will need to attend the Intro course first.

You must currently be in a hands-on practice..

INTRO COURSE

This is a two day course which will provide incredibly useful information which will allow you to address many of the problems that are listed above. If you do not have previous therapeutic training this course will allow you to later take the Basic course, after fulfilling certain requirements.

Only 40 People Can Be Accepted For Each Course

This newsletter goes out to over 8,500 people as the training is not lecture based but oriented to hands on teaching. I will have to accept applications on a first come first serve basis with special consideration given to health care professionals as they will be able to most effectively use it with others.

You NEED to Respond As Soon As Possible To Hold Your Place

E-mail me if you are interested. No money is required at this time. I just need to confirm the level of interest. Please indicate which course you are interested in, the BASIC or INTRO course.

I am putting this course together at the last minute and securing the hotel reservations is the major challenge here.

When Will The Course Be Held?

The tentative dates for the five day Basic Course is either November 1st or 2nd through November 5th or 6th from 8 to 5 PM.

The tentative dates for the Intro Course will be November 7th or 8th to the 9th or 10th.

However the final dates for each course are still not set due to the hotel arrangements.

It will be in the northwest suburbs of Chicago about 20 minutes away from O'Hare airport.

What Will The Course Cost?

The cost of the Intro course will be $350. The Basic Course will be $800. I am hoping to include lunch on both days with that charge, but I can't confirm that at this time.

I have secured special pricing for the hotel at $79 per night. The normal rate is $119. If you are coming alone and want to room with someone I can coordinate that for you, which would reduce your nightly hotel rate to $39.

Transportation from the airport is about $15 each way through a limousine service.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!

I am so convinced of the effectiveness of this technique, that for this first five-day class I am personally willing to guarantee your satisfaction. If after the first two days you don't agree it is worth your time and money, you will be allowed to leave with a full refund. Due to technical details and the lower price of the Intro course I am unable to allow extend this same policy to the Intro Course.

Are There Any Web Sites That Offer More Information?

Absolutely. You can go to:

What Will The Course Involve?

An NST treatment consists of a specific sequence of gentle, rolling "moves" done across superficial muscles, tendons and nerves. The session usually begins with dynamic basic balances of three "modules":

• A Lumbar/gluteal/hamstring module, designed to free the lower back and sacrum areas.
  
• A Thoracic module, designed to free the diaphragm, thoracic vertebrae, and upper back musculature.
  
• A Cervical module to integrate and continue this releasing into the neck vertebrae and musculature, as well as initially addressing the cranial connections.

Of course, these modules are not separable in fact. Together, they address systems within the body system as a whole, including the respiratory, digestive, endocrine, cranio-sacral and autonomic nervous systems.

The Basic Move Tom Bowen Used Is Quite Simple:

It is done with thumb or fingers, traction skin perpendicularly across a muscle, tendon or nerve sheath, then with a bit more pressure, reversing the movement, fully stretching the skin in the opposite direction, and gently plucking the underlying structure as you go.

The body-mapping systems and the patterns of moves he developed are elegant and profound. Generally only a few sessions are needed to resolve all but the most serious complaints. This is because NST does not merely relieve symptoms, but addresses the root causes of most physical complaints These underlying roots Bowen recognized to include:

Asymmetrical muscle tensions, often in whole-body patterns of distortion

Constricted, dehydrated fascial tissues

Imbalances in the cranial system, especially the Temporo-Mandibular Joint

Corresponding imbalances in the sacral-coccygial-inominate system

Training

This two-day course is offered for individuals who are not necessarily in clinical practice (although professionals are certainly welcomed), but may have undertaken some personal study in the healing arts. It is for anyone who would like to experience a more effective approach to body work.

A gentle Integrated Body Balance will be taught, and practical guidelines given for incorporating sensible lifestyle and aftercare strategies. The body balance may be safely and effectively applied to numerous situations that might arise in the home or office and is wonderful for pain management, stress relief and relaxation. The individual's knowledge of some basic anatomy will be helpful.

The Dynamic Body Balance

Consists of sequential balances of three 3 modules:

A lumbar/gluteal/hamstring module, designed to free the lower back and sacrum areas.

A thoracic module, designed to free the diaphragm, thoracic vertebrae, and upper-back musculature.

A cervical module to integrate and continue this releasing into the neck vertebrae and musculature, as well as initially addressing the cranial connections.

NST is more than a technique; it is a complete holistic approach to the human being. I have been able to notice results even in chronic situations such as rheumatism, coccyxalgia, T.M.J. problems including tinnitus, chronic asthma, and emotional depression. An added bonus to this wonderful work is that it is very soft and gentle and well appreciated by my patients for this and its deep relaxing benefits. -Dr. Frederic Menier

The greatest difficulty with NST is to talk about it! As the success with NST is in most cases so astonishing, people seeking an explanation as to what it is prior to receiving treatment, often think you are some incredible charlatan making wild claims when you give an explanation. But it is true, clients who present with both acute and chronic pain, having often sought in vain treatment from a variety of other experts and specialists are consistently free of their problems within a very short time by using NST. In fact most clients require only 2 - 3 sessions to achieve long term benefits. - Dr. Michaele Buckmann
