Neuro Emotional Technique was developed in the early 1980’s by Dr. Scott Walker, a chiropractor who noticed that some clients continued to get the same pains and symptoms despite regular treatment. Dr. Walker was also aware of applied kinesiology, in which muscle testing is used to discover physiological needs or weaknesses.

He discovered that muscle testing could also be used to discover psychological needs or weaknesses. In testing a muscle that is normally strong while talking with a client, the practitioner can discover an “NEC” or “neuro emotional complex.” For example, something in a client’s past may have “locked” that person into a pattern of over-eating. Dr. Walker discovered that emotions are not strictly locked in the brain—but that they travel through the body. Once the emotional response is “locked” in the body, there is a physical connection to an emotion (ever feel “nervous” when a certain person enters the room?)

By discovering the site of this locked physical/emotional connection, we are able to “unlock” or release it. Clients who experience this report that they feel like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders!

"The mind-body connection is very powerful. With NET we are giving the client’s body the ability to heal itself! Once the emotion is released, clients find that they feel more emotionally balanced and “free.”

We often use the analogy of dancing with a pebble in your shoe. As you go through life, family, friends, teachers, doctors, relationships, bosses, co- workers all teach us how to dance in life.. Occasionally it may become very hard to dance with a certain partner or partners because of a pebble in your shoe. You already know how to dance in life, NET removes the pebble from your shoe so you can dance effortlessly! Many people say they feel that a large weight has been removed from their shoulders after just one session!
