Our bones are more than just a rigid framework. They’re living tissues constantly adapting to the stresses and strains of daily life.
When these stresses become imbalanced, however, our bone health can suffer. This is where Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) steps in.
Conventional medicine often focuses on bone density as the sole indicator of bone health. DEXA scans, while helpful, can paint an incomplete picture.
NST takes a different approach, focusing on the body’s structural integrity and how it influences bone health.
The NST Advantage
NST practitioners understand the intricate connection between the nervous system, muscles, and fascia (connective tissue). When postural imbalances or movement dysfunctions occur, they can create uneven tension on bones, leading to:
Misaligned stress patterns: Unequal forces on bones can hinder their ability to remodel and maintain strength.
Reduced proprioception: Poor body awareness can lead to falls and injuries, further impacting bone health.
Chronic inflammation: Unresolved inflammation can trigger bone breakdown.
NST: Optimizing Your Body for Bone Health
NST practitioners use a gentle, hands-on approach to assess and address these imbalances.
Here’s how NST can support your bone health journey:
- Improved posture: Proper alignment distributes stress more evenly across bones, promoting optimal bone health.
- Enhanced proprioception: Increased body awareness allows for better balance and coordination, reducing fall risks.
- Reduced inflammation: By addressing underlying tensions, NST can help create an environment conducive to bone health.
- Increased activity levels: Improved mobility and pain relief encourage participation in weight-bearing exercises, crucial for bone strength.
NST: A Partner in Your Bone Health Journey
NST complements other bone health strategies like a balanced diet, weight-bearing exercise, and good sleep. It works by addressing the root causes of bone health challenges, creating a foundation for your body to build and maintain strong bones.
