This is the governor of involuntary, whole-body response to external and internal environments. It is divided into two branches the sympathetic and parasympathetic. NST is described as a complimentary therapy which means it will enhance and compliment, and not interfere with, other medical modalities. NST restores the body processes for self-healing. It does this by informing the central homeostatic awareness of minute muscle tensions and unsound relationships between muscle groups, that are upsetting the overall balance of the body.
Muscle also has a short memory.
Fascia however has a long-term memory. Whole body patterns of distortion derived from habits of poor posture, accidents, or physical or emotional trauma, can set and persist for a lifetime. Connective tissue does not contract and relax as does muscle. Tight fascia affects the whole body. When connective tissue is correctly stimulated it is resupplied with fluid exchange.
