Stress is rapidly becoming one of the biggest causes of changes to quality of life in the western world. The effects of stress are on the human body are broad. Sleep deprivation, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, digestive problems, neurological problems and much more have all been associated with changes in stress.
At the heart of our feelings of stress is a key area of the brain known as the limbic system. One of the key functions of our Limbic system is to stimulate our stress centres when memories of past stressors are triggered. This mechanism is designed to help protect us from predators by triggering protective mechanisms when memories of previous threats are relived.
This response is dampened or modulated by many other areas of our brain such as our frontal cortex and our stress and reproductive hormones. However, when stress becomes chronic the delicate balance that is the limbic system can become distorted leading to abnormal responses and unwanted feelings.
Some people experience this in a physical manner such as a headache that returns after having a busy day at work whilst others might feel this as neck, shoulder or joint pain when they’re stressed, sad or angry.
NET is not a form of psychotherapy, counselling, psychology or any other similar treatment. NET is purely about helping to rebalance the delicate mechanism that is the limbic system. In fact, one could argue that it is a brain-based neurologically treatment.
The goal of NET is to reduce the stress response associated with events by lessening the activation of the stress centres. Whilst it is still early days in the research, recent research has shown NET may have its most profound affect on the amygdala and parahippocampus, two key areas that play a part in the limbic system.1 These areas of the brain are critical in memory encoding and recall.
NET helps by allowing our practitioners to assess whether your back pain, health problem or neurological issue may have an emotional, or limbic, basis to it or whether your emotional state might be exacerbating your problem.
NET combines the modern scientific understanding of limbic-stress system (HPA Axis) interaction with traditional Eastern theories.
During a session, the motor aspect of the nervous system (muscle function) is assessed to identify potential emotional problems that may be manifesting themselves physically, neurologically or physiologically.
Once identified, the correction process is simple, effective, safe and doesn’t require a lot of discussion or interaction.
Our Neuro Emotional Technique Melbourne team is always here for you.
There is no need to stress about making a specific appointment for NET, as part of our initial assessment process, our team will identify if an emotional component is likely to be part of your problem.
As is with every assessment we conduct, our team will conduct a thorough history to understand your problem and how it is affecting you. Because we truly want to understand you and your problem, our team will then specifically ask you what success looks like for you, what is it you want to achieve from your time with us.
Once we are clear on your goals for care and we have completed your assessment, we’ll map out a step by step road map of what is required for you to obtain that goal. We’ll then break down all the procedures that might need to be used and let you know whether NET is the right course of action for you or if a different approach might result in a better or quicker result.
Either way, we will always work with you to achieve the goals that you desire.
To get started, simply book an appointment, or call our team on 9318 7758 and we’ll arrange a time for you to be assessed. Our friendly Reception team are here to guide and help you through the process.

Migraines are more than just a “bad headache.” They are a neurological condition that can involve intense, throbbing pain, often on one side of the head, and may be accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, light or sound sensitivity, dizziness, or fatigue.
Unlike common tension headaches, migraines often reflect how the brain and nervous system are processing stress, movement and sensory input. In many cases, the brain is overstimulated, especially a pathway known as the trigeminovascular pathway. Check out my vid on how migraines occur here: https://youtu.be/R_kdOZFaZ48
With a thorough assessment of your neurology, physiology and hormone patterns, an underlying driver of migraines can be found.
Migraines rarely have a single cause. That’s why we take a whole-person approach rather than chasing symptoms alone.
Our Migraine assessment session may include:
Our goal is to understand why your nervous system may be under strain and find a solution to the dysfunction.
For many people, yes, but everyone is different. It’s rare for two people to have the same cause for their migraines. We aim to improve how the body and nervous system function together. When spinal joints, muscles, neural pathways and hormonal mechanisms are under stress, this can often place the brain on edge, just waiting for a trigger to set it off.
By restoring movement, reducing mechanical stress, supporting nervous system regulation and improving function, many patients experience:
Every person responds differently, but care is always tailored to your body and your needs.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) allows us to assess how different systems in the body — including the musculoskeletal, neurological, biochemical, and stress-response systems — are interacting.
Using gentle muscle testing, we can identify:
AK doesn’t replace our neurological, physiological, structural or hormonal testing; it adds to the context of them. This helps guide more precise, individualised care, rather than relying on guesswork or one-size-fits-all approaches.
This varies from person to person and depends on factors such as migraine history, frequency, nervous system resilience, stress levels, lifestyle factors and the root of imbalance.
Some people notice changes within a few visits, while others experience more gradual improvement over weeks to months. Our focus is on doing what we need to do to build long-term stability and resilience within your nervous system.
We’ll always discuss realistic expectations with you and track your progress.
