| "Will NST cure this condition or that condition?" I am often asked this question and my response is always the same - NST will cure nothing! It is simply a process that enables the body to regulate itself, and throughout this process many symptoms will disappear. That is to say that the symptoms in the first place were simply a product of the complex blockage existing in the body. While this may appear to be just semantics I stress that the distinction is very important to keep in mind. NST is synonymous with contextual healing - a lost art which is now having a resurgence and gaining both popularity with practitioners and clients alike. Another well known example of a contextual healing approach is homeopathy. Interestingly many individuals have dubbed NST as tactile homeopathy! |

| Case studies of NST sessions An 8 year old girl, presented with impaired co-ordination, scoliosis pelvis, perception disorder of the muscles, and heavy binocular squint (especially when tired.) The child had previously received the best possible medical care available. After the first application of NST the child said she "felt different"; after the second application of NST she was able to ride her scooter and walk up and down the stairs, an activity she was previously unable to do without the help of somebody else. For the first time in her life she felt pain after muscular exertion. After the third application of NST her pysioltherapist asserted that the scoliotic pelvis was now straight, as were relevant points on the scapulae as well. At the same time the co-ordinator and perception muscles had improved so much that even forward somersault was possible. After the forth application of NST-incredible but true-the ophthalmologist asserted that the child squinted no longer. In fact this test was carried out when the child was quite tired, having come straight from school. She continues to improve. Dr. Michael Buckmann David S. a 30-year-old accountant presented complaining of lower back pain due to a football injury that had persisted for 11 years. ALthough very skeptical during his first NST session he admitted to feeling 80% better within the following days. "Okay I feel heaps better, but how could such light moves on my body possibly provide this much relief?" His second visit convinced him, as he now remains absolutely pain free. Pam Bolger A 61-year-old woman presented with a very long history of chronic tension in the shoulders and severe weekly migraines and chronic insomnia. She had previously tried allopathic medicine, osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, and according to her "everything else possible." She came with a somewhat skeptical attitude because everything else she had tried provided only temporary relief. After the first session she was sleeping better and the tension had gone from her shoulders. She had also experienced a week without a migraine attack. After the second session she was pain free and felt "wonderful". To date she has required no further sessions. Judith Smale |
