Understanding How Stress Affects Your Body’s Function

Life’s challenges – whether physical knocks, emotional pressures, or chemical stressors – can create lasting patterns in your body that affect your wellbeing long after the original event has passed. NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) is a gentle, research-backed approach that helps identify where stress and unresolved emotions may be creating physiological changes in your body.

Developed by Dr Scott Walker, NET recognises that when your brain struggles to process stressful memories or emotions effectively, similar situations can trigger inappropriate physical responses. This isn’t about psychology or counselling – it’s about addressing the real, measurable changes that stress creates in your body’s function, particularly within your nervous system.

The Science Behind NET: Research You Can Trust

NET isn’t just theory – it’s backed by solid research, including MRI studies that demonstrate actual brain changes before and after care. Dr Daniel Monty, a psychiatrist and head of integrative medicine at Johns Hopkins University, has led significant research over the past 15 years showing how NET creates measurable physiological improvements.

This research represents gold-standard evidence in healthcare, using brain imaging to document how NET helps your nervous system process stress more efficiently. You can explore educational resources and research findings at netmindbody.com and oneresearchfoundation.org to learn more about the science supporting this approach.

How NET Works: The Four-Pillar Assessment

Dr Stephen Osborne uses NET as part of a comprehensive approach that examines four key areas affecting your health: physical structure, emotional stress, toxins (chemistry that shouldn’t be in your body), and biochemistry (nutritional deficiencies). This “home run formula,” developed by NET’s creator, ensures we’re addressing all potential stress sources rather than just symptoms.

During an NET session, we use gentle muscle testing to identify areas where your body is holding stress patterns. The process helps your brain reprocess difficult memories or emotions more effectively, often leading to immediate improvements in how your body responds to stress. Many people are surprised to discover how addressing emotional stress can unlock physical improvements they didn’t expect.

What Makes Our NET Approach Different

Unlike practices that might offer NET as a standalone service, we integrate it as part of comprehensive chiropractic care. This means we’re addressing the structural, nutritional, and emotional aspects of your health simultaneously. As Dr Osborne explains, “People don’t get the full benefit of even doing the NET” if other areas aren’t being addressed – it’s like having only one wheel on a four-wheel car.

We also use NET remedies – specialised homeopathic preparations that support your body through the changes we’re helping it make. These remedies primarily address the toxin component of stress, helping your body eliminate chemical stressors that may be contributing to your health challenges. This comprehensive approach ensures you’re getting complete support for lasting improvements.
