“What is Neural Reset Therapy (NRT), as developed by Lawrence Woods?
Neural Reset Therapy® (NRT) is derived from the work of two great scientists, Sherrington and Pflüger, who investigated the nervous system more than a century ago to uncover its basic operating principles.
The Law of Reciprocal Inhibition and the Law of Symmetry have mostly remained in the laboratory until now. NRT is a practical, rapid and reliable way to apply these laws of physiology with an advanced form of manual therapy.
Muscles are controlled by the nervous system. Proper application of NRT resets the nervous system to release a muscle from excessive tension. With the release, the knots, pain and tightness are gone. Joint mobility and posture are improved.
Note that NRT is not an energetic method, but is based on sound physiological and neurological principles.
How NRT is different from the usual methods of massage, physical therapy or chiropractic:
- No massaging of muscles or deep pressure required
- Virtually no use of thumbs – very easy on the therapist’s hands
- Done fully clothed without lotions or creams
- No face-down positions, joint adjustments or stretching
- No mechanical, electrical devices used. (Note 1)
- No drugs or natural substances applied”
