Neuro-Emotional Technique, or N.E.T., is a precision mind/body stress-reduction technique that originated in the world of chiropractic care in the late 1980s. It is implemented, in person, by a licensed clinician with an advanced degree who has been trained specifically in this unique modality. Gentle, non-invasive, and evidence-informed, N.E.T. honors your instinctive self-knowledge and your innate ability to heal. N.E.T. incorporates intuitive listening; core tenets of Chinese medicine; more recent, evidence-based scientific knowledge of the body/mind connection (neurobiology); and muscle testing (a type of biofeedback) to precisely identify the location of the unresolved stress we carry in our bodies and map it to originating stressors from our past. (As we in the N.E.T. community say, “The issues are in the tissues!”) Once the stress/stressors are identified, gentle interventions, which are directed by the N.E.T. practitioner and carried out by the client, are implemented. These include:

​

• Gentle pressure on meridian pulse points

• Deep breathing

• Body positioning

• The use of specific homeopathic remedies, if indicated (these help the body release associated toxins)

 

In this way, N.E.T. mitigates the harmful physiological effects of unresolved stress on our minds and bodies.
