Neural Organisation Technique (NOT)




Neural Organization Technique is a specialised branch of Kinesiology which works through our central nervous system to restore structural, bio-chemical and emotional balance. Our neural organisation is what enables us to survive and function in every possible situation. It is self-healing, self-regulating and self-perpetuating but it can be thrown off balance by physical or emotional trauma or poor diet.
Developed by Dr Carl Ferreri DC in 1979 this technique is based on his observations of how the body's primal survival systems of feeding, fight or flight, reproduction, and the immune system are organised.  Dr Ferreri realised that no matter what the circumstances, how big or how small, it must always involve one or more of these survival systems.
These innate systems are in place to insure our ability to respond to certain stimuli, to sustain, protect, repair and/or create new life i.e. survival of the individual and survival of the species. He then went on to developed specific protocols to create harmony and reprogramme the whole body’s organisation and function.

Although there are only four basic survival systems, there is a very complex array of interactions, which are found to organize our bodily functions.  Dr Ferreri discovered that when the neurology of these primal survival systems becomes disorganised it leads to problems in the body's structure and function. This can include back pain, headaches, problems in walking or moving freely, digestive disorders, endocrine and hormonal imbalance, jaw misalignment, cranial problems, learning difficulties.  It can also contribute to numerous other health related problems

Trying to address structural or functional difficulties without addressing the relevant neurological short-circuiting is like changing a light bulb when the real problem is that you have blown a fuse.
NOT can be used as a stand-alone technique or with other kinesiology modalities for almost all client problems that may present in a clinical setting.

Dr Robyn Arnold Bsc MChiro has over 22 years' experience as a Chiropractor working in rural South Australia from Ceduna to Streaky Bay; Clare and the Barossa Valley.

In 1993 she trained with Dr Reza Samvat in the NOT technique. She is a qualified Acupuncturist and TCM Practitioner. Robyn is also trained in iQ instrument adjusting which she studied with Dr Chris Colloca from Canada. This technique was specifically created to deliver gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function.

Robyn has an interest in Cold Laser Therapy for reducing pain and improving micro-circulation along with Acoustic Wave Therapy and pain management.
