Neural
Organisation Technique (NOT), a non-invasive, kinesiologically-based treatment
protocol, is designed to recognise any of the disorganisations that may be found
within the neural programmes of these primal survival systems if damaged or otherwise
compromised.

The
body is organised functionally into four primal survival systems which are generally
known as the feeding, fight/flight, reproduction and immune systems. All physiological,
neurological, vegetative and cognitive activities must function within or through
these survival systems in an organised and integrated manner.
In order for the body to survive, these systems must be organised within themselves
first and then must be integrated and synchronised with each other. This organisation
is manifest through the integrated function of the central nervous system. Various
kinds of stress including physical, emotional, chemical, or environmental trauma
can, and many times do, interfere with the harmonious and organised function of
these reflex systems and ultimately the central nervous system itself.
Neural Organisation Technique (NOT), a non-invasive, kinesiologically-based treatment
protocol, is designed to recognise any of the disorganisations that may be found
within the neural programmes of these primal survival systems if damaged or otherwise
compromised.
The treatment protocols are then designed to specifically organise or reorganise
a disorganised central nervous system. A disruption of the natural balance within
these previously synchronised processes will cause a change in the electromagnetic
field in various parts of the body. This EM change can then be measured, analysed
and treated. Homeostasis is then restored to the body by activating combinations
of the known reflex systems, acupuncture meridians, muscle spindles, magnetic
energy, cranial and spinal bone balances and nutrition which control these systems.
The key to the success of this treatment protocol is that it recognises the need
for the specific organisation and integration of all systems within the body.
The body is a totally integrated biological and energetic entity where everything
affects everything else in one way or another and as the old song goes, the “head
bone” is really connected to the “foot bone”. It is impossible
to treat one part of the body without affecting or causing stress or change somewhere
else in the body.
The list of conditions treated with this method almost reads like a pathology
book because it is so diverse. This is because the treatment protocols are aimed
at the neurological, physiological and energetic deficits which either cause or
allow the condition or deficit to exist, and not necessarily at the condition
itself. It doesn’t matter what you have or what you call it but rather why
you have it. We don’t treat the disease but we do treat the causes.
Neural Organisation Technique is unique in other ways not found in other treatment
protocols. The NOT examination and treatment protocols take into account the body’s
awareness of itself and the circumstances of life as it is lived. Eyes open and
closed, light and dark and half-light conditions (dawn, dusk, etc) and various
eye directions are a normal part of the usual examination and treatment procedures.
Also considered are changing body positions (getting up from sitting or lying),
cold, heat, walking, jumping, running, sitting in the car, etc. which very often
influence the memory of the circumstances surrounding the condition.
These
circumstances, when included in the treatment protocol, are almost always key
to successful treatment and usually make for rapid and successful conclusions
to any condition.
