What is NSA?
Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is a system of improving spine and nervous system function through light touch. Gentle contacts along the neck and tailbone region (where the spinal cord attaches to the bones of the spine) create a stimulus to the brain, achieving greater body awareness. As the brain becomes aware of tension stored within the spine and nervous system, the body begins to develop natural waves of breath and movement that release these patterns of tension. Brain-body communication is improved, which enhances the body's natural ability to heal itself. Research shows the statistically significant benefits of NSA in relation to enhanced physical, mental, and emotional well-being, healthier lifestyles and greater life enjoyment.

Why Do We Lose Our Health and Wellness In The First Place?
It is through the nervous system that we perceive the world, coordinate all body parts and functions, adapt to stress, and express emotion. When the brain receives more input or information than it is able to process readily, it can perceive this input as overwhelm, or trauma. This can be any type of physical, emotional, or chemical stress. Examples of such stress include heavy lifting, a fall or accidents, the loss of a loved one, relationship problems, medications and other toxins. When this happens, the spinal cord can store the information of our life experience as tension. Our body can experience this tension as muscular spasm, spinal misalignment or distortion, and decreased breathing and movement into that area. This often results in physical symptoms like neck and back pain, stiffness, headaches, altered posture, spinal degeneration, and many other chronic, long term health problems.

Much of what many disciplines seek to correct through massage, manipulation, and therapy can be the result of underlying, unresolved tension stored in the spine and nervous system from the accumulation of stress.

Over time the body develops physical changes to the perceived traumas and stresses throughout our life, resulting in stress physiology and defense posture. This stress physiology and defense posture limits the body's ability to recover. We may function and respond to life as if the stress is still occurring.

How Does NSA Work?
As greater brain/body awareness is achieved through NSA, the body begins to move away from those defensive, adaptive patterns that are no longer needed, thus creating greater ease and flexibility in your spine and in your life. You can learn to connect brain and body even more than ever and release tensions more effectively and easily than ever. You can experience more freedom from past stresses, traumas and programming that may have been blocking your potential for greater health, happiness and well-being.

A recent retrospective study conducted at the University of California Irvine of 2,818 patients worldwide significantly demonstrates that regular Network Spinal Analysis care is associated with significant improvements in all areas of life. Participants in the study who had been under care the longest reported more perceived wellness. In summary the study demonstrates improvements in the following:

1. Improved Physical State
Less physical pain
Less menstrual discomfort
Improved allergies, eczema
Less tension or stiffness of the spine
Skin Rashes
Fewer incidence of colds and flu
Fewer headaches
More energy, less fatigue

2. Improved Mental/Emotional State:
Positive feelings about self moodiness, less angry outbursts, less depression, more interest in life
Improved ability to think and concentrate
Less anxiety and concern about vague fears
Improved ability to stay on task
Less distress about pain

3. Improved Response to Stress (Less stress relative to:)
Family
Daily problems
Significant relationships
Work
Health
Finances
General well being

4. Improved Life Enjoyment:
Openness to guidance by "inner voice feelings"
Experience of relaxation and well being
Positive feelings about self interest in maintaining healthy lifestyle
Feeling open when relating to others
Confidence when dealing with adversity
Compassion for, acceptance of others
Incidence of feelings of joy or happiness

5. Improved Overall Quality of Life relative to:
Personal life
Job
Oneself
Life being what one wants it to be
Extent one adapts to change
Romantic Life
Handling of problems in life
