The nervous system controls every single structure and function in the human body. Once we know this fact, one of the most telling decisions any of us can ever make for ourselves and our dependents is to ensure that we take the right steps to enable our nervous system to function properly so that we can fulfil our potential and always be at our best.

The spinal cord and spinal nerve roots are the communication super-connections from which our brain receives information from our environment (external and internal), and also how it delivers its vital controlling and co-ordinating commands. Therefore, it is imperative that the proper functioning environment of these information networks is maintained, because it is the “space” around the spinal cord and nerve roots that determine how they work.

This “working space” of the nervous system is set up by the spinal column, which encloses and protects the delicate nerve fibres. Any change in the dynamics (movements) of the individual spinal bones (vertebrae) affects the nervous system environment and potentially alters both the types of signals being carried and frequency.

Any change in the relationship between the vertebrae will interfere with the communication between the brain and the rest of your body, affecting the way that you function and perform. This situation is called a spinal obtrusion. It occurs when the forces to which we are all continually exposed to overcomes our body’s ability to resist and adapt, thus breaking down the supportive connective tissues responsible for maintaining proper spinal dynamics and interactions.

Once weaknesses are established in our spines, anything we do that puts greater pressure onto our bodies will exploit these weak areas and create a compound, “snowballing” effect. Accidents, falls, poor postural habits, lifting and bending, even dietary pressures and poor exercise routines can all result in spinal obtrusions, as can emotional and mental stresses and genetic weaknesses.

In what ways could spinal obtrusions affect us?

In every-way imaginable. Nervous system interference can change our moods, our outlook on life, our sleeping habits, our concentration span and memory, our productivity levels, our resistance to disease, our recovery rates from injury, our creativity, our organ function, our mobility, and our capacity to tolerate stress and the inevitable demands of modern living. Such changes can deeply influence our relationships, our careers, our families, our prosperity and our entire quality of life.


NeuroSpinology services are specifically designed to help us by assisting the body in restoring the proper dynamic relationship between spinal movement and nervous system function.

NeuroSpinologists are trained in a rigorous government accredited Advanced Diploma of NeuroSpinology programme, which is recognised in all gazetted countries world-wide. The unique techniques are safe, painless, precise and immediately effective. Importantly, NeuroSpinologists don’t use the harsh manipulative techniques utilised in some other professions, as these procedures often cause further damage to the complex supportive connective tissues around the spine.

NeuroSpinology technical applications are directed at stimulating and facilitating the neural (nervous system) circuits related to the specific areas where there are spinal obtrusions. This is done by applying very gentle and specific techniques around the spine with the hands. When delivered consistently enough, the nervous system responds by building up all of the circuits involved and literally “re-wiring” itself so that it becomes potent enough to repair the damaged structures. This allows your body to take back full control of spinal movements, and restore the proper functioning environment for the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

Why do I need NeuroSpinology?

Unlike Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Massage Therapists and PhysioTherapists, NeuroSpinologists use their hands gently to apply highly specific techniques around the back (spinal column) for the purpose of stimulating the neural circuits associated with the damaged areas and generate improved health outcomes. Consistent stimulation of these neural circuits expands their capability, thus enabling the nervous system, and the body as a whole, to perform at optimum levels.

As the public demand for improved wellness and quality of life increases, in line with a growing ageing population, so does the demand for NeuroSpinologists’ services.

How can I study to become a NeuroSpinologist?

The Academy of Functional Sciences (AFS) in Sydney, Australia is the international educational headquarters of the NeuroSpinology profession.

The government accredited Advanced Diploma in NeuroSpinology is delivered and conferred by Patrick Careers Academy; the oldest continually operating private educational institution in New South Wales (NSW) and has built a world-wide reputation for outstanding student support and graduate placement for almost 100 years.
