Stress doesn’t only live in the mind. For many people, it shows up physically too, through tension, sleep changes, headaches, or that sense of feeling stuck even when you are doing all the right things. Neuro-Emotional Technique, often called NET, is a complementary mind-body approach used by some chiropractors to support the way your nervous system responds to stress.
It is not talk therapy, and it’s not a diagnosis tool. Instead, it may help identify stress patterns that your body is still holding onto, so your care can move forward in a calmer, more settled direction.
How NET Works in Practice
NET is a structured approach that focuses on the connection between emotions, the nervous system, and physical responses in the body. It uses muscle testing alongside guided conversation to help locate areas where stress responses may be lingering. The intention is to support balance in the nervous system and improve present day function.
What Happens During a NET Session?
George Lee will begin by listening carefully to your concerns, history, and goals. If NET is appropriate, he will use muscle testing while you think about specific situations or themes. This is paired with gentle cues to help narrow down what the body may be reacting to. If a stress pattern is identified, George may use a simple correction that can include acupressure style contact on specific points and breathing.
As naturopath George Lee shares, “Many people are surprised by how much the body remembers. NET can be a calm, respectful way to help your system feel safer in the present, one step at a time.”
What NET May Support
People often explore NET when they feel stress may be influencing their body, mood, or performance. It may be used as part of broader care to support wellbeing, especially when symptoms feel persistent or triggered by certain situations.
How NET Fits Into Holistic Chiropractic Care
NET is typically used alongside other supportive strategies such as naturopathy, chiropractic care, lifestyle guidance, and wellbeing-focused recommendations. Your plan should always be tailored to you, with clear explanations and a pace that feels comfortable. If you have complex mental health concerns or past trauma, we may also encourage appropriate support from a qualified mental health professional.
