The Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) was developed by Michael Nixon-Livy. It is based on Tom Bowen's later work and involves slightly more pressure, and rather more moves, with less breaks. It is sometimes referred to as advanced Bowen, though there are occasions when the gentler minimalist approach is more effective, I use whichever approach is appropriate to the individual client.

To Quote Dr J Mercola : "NST is a light form of massage that is the most amazing form of therapy I have ever seen. ............. We have prevented knee and shoulder surgeries on many dozens of patients with NST."

According to Michael Nixon-Livy:
NST is a remarkably effective professional bodywork technique, that when applied, initiates a process of natural auto-regulation to occur in the spinal column and consequently throughout the whole body.
The resultant effect of this is a rapid elimination or reduction of symptoms, followed by an increase in energy and an unmistakable sense of well being.

Typically the response to NST is most often profoundly effective, and more than seldom, miraculous.

NST is essentially a soft tissue osteopathic-style therapy, designed to remove pain, physiological dysfunction and even psychological imbalances, by restoring the structural integrity of the body.
Its application is suitable and safe for all ages, from new-borns to the elderly.’

As its main aim is to reintegrate the body-mind complex as a whole, it is often called contextual healing, consequently regarding illnesses as symptoms of imbalance.

It is for this reason that there are no contraindications, essentially rendering the technique useful for a wide range of conditions from acute pain to chronic conditions.
