A NetworkSpinal care session is called an entrainment, a term in physics that refers to multiple parts of a dissonant system coming together and vibrating as one cohesive and dynamic network.
In practice, a NetworkSpinal entrainment uses specific depths of gentle touch at precise areas along the spine to optimise the ability for the nervous system to regulate your mind(psycho)—body(somatic) connection.
A more regulated, connected and coherent nervous system is able to better self-organise, self-regulate and self-heal.

SRI exercises are body (somato) breath (respiratory) integration practices, focusing on specific branches of the vagus nerve, using touch, breath, movement and conscious focus to connect with our experience.
This process also helps us to re-connect to parts of ourselves that have been disconnected due to chronic-stress or trauma.
SRI is separate & distinct from any breathwork you may know.

What Makes NetworkSpinal Different
-
NetworkSpinal is a spinal-based nervous system approach that recognises the link between tension in your body and tension in your life.
Without using needles, cracking, massage, manipulation or equipment, this chiropractic technique uses light touch contacts along the spine to help the brain recognise patterns of tension, defence and distortion.
This self-regulating approach allows the body to unwind, relax, and adjust itself — affecting not just your physical body, but also your emotional wellbeing.
The involuntarily movement people experience during a NetworkSpinal session has been studied, read below to find out what it means, and why it happens.
-
NetworkSpinal practitioners hold at least 6 years of formal education, including: a 5 year full time university double degree and at least one year postgraduate certification in NetworkSpinal to be fully qualified.
-
Every session measures for nervous system adaptability: structurally, neurologically and mentally.
Short-term and long-term, objectives outcomes are reassessed to give data and information beyond feeling.
-
Offered in conjunction with soma8c integration exercises, distinctly unique from regular breathwork.
These practices are vital in helping a person connect with each stage of their healing journey and can be practiced at home.
-
We assess stress patterns in the nervous system to see a person's adaptability or overwhelm at any given moment, weighing chemical, physical and emotional stressors, past and present.
This shows us how someone is engaging with life, not just the physical state of their health
-
NetworkSpinal’s unique assessment and delivery has shown to result in changes across mul8ple domains of someone's overall quality of life and life enjoyment.
This is why many people choose to have NetworkSpinal as part of their life.

Common Questions

When you experience your body moving on the table, you are experiencing one of the wave phenomena that occur in NetworkSpinal care.
The wave is a way that the body unwinds any defensive, conditioned and inauthentic patterns of behaviour. The more refined and energy-efficient this signalling is, the better you can respond to your environment and express your authentic self.
This spinal wave is an involuntary and organic expression of the reorganisational ability of the nervous system in dissipating, reseting and recalibrating tension along the entire spine and connective tissue systems.
It is a strategy that develops over time and presents uniquely for each person.
This has been analysed since the 1990's by the STEM departments of multiple universities and is now recognised as the second only-known Central Pattern Generator (CPG) of the human body.
A CPG is the way your brain controls, activates and organises your sensorimotor strategies. This means the way you move your muscles, walk, run, behave, respond to your environment and express yourself.
When your brain activates all these responses, it does so in a way that is uniquely you. It is like your own signature or fingerprint. For example, the first known CPG is the human gait (walk), and technology today is capable of identifying an individual solely based on their gait. That's how individualised a CPG is.

"The purpose of pain is to interrupt your life." - Dr. Donny Epstein (DC), developer of NetworkSpinal.
Pain is an intelligent response and an invitation for change. Unless the necessary changes in perception, structure or behaviour are taking place in your life, you will still have the experience of pain.
The objective of NetworkSpinal is greater nervous system coherence and regulation. As your nervous system changes, it is very common that the body is able to resolve the symptoms (and more), however, NetworkSpinal is not a treatment for pain, as that is not the objective.
Your body orchestrates its own healing, so pain can resolve when it is no longer needed, and not a moment sooner.
Instead of asking Will this help my pain?, what happens if you ask How is my pain trying to help me?
A study of 165,569 adults found opioid pain relief prescription was 55% lower among chiropractic clients compared with those not under care.

To deliver best results it is likely that your chiropractor will recommend a program of care to help create neuroplastic change in your body and your life, not just a temporary fix.
Just as we don't expect one exercise session to build muscle, or expect one night of sleep to keep us going for the week, or expect one day of healthy eating to sustain our vitality long term, we cannot expect one chiropractic session to turn our life around.
The NetworkSpinal entrainment sessions themselves are not an event, but rather a process towards long term health and vitality. Therefore, for those wishing to transform their lives, building repetition and momentum with multiple sessions is recommended and expected.
We are aware that sustainable change requires sustainable lifestyle integration, so we have built programs of care to account for this. Read more about these in the "Care Programs & Payments" page.

NetworkSpinal has demonstrated positive outcomes for improving HRV (Heart-Rate Variability), which is a gold standard measure of nervous system stress. Because of the strong correlation between HRV, vagus nerve tone and the parasympathetic (Rest-and-Repair) nervous system, NetworkSpinal can play a big part in regulating healthy vagal tone.
In fact, within SRI (SomatoRespiratory Integration exercise) as part of your NetworkSpinal care, we focus on specific branches of the vagus nerve, using hand positions, movement and focus to enhance connection and regulation.
A healthy vagus nerve (or healthy vagal tone) regulates cardiac, digestive and immune function. In order to have healthy vagal tone, the body needs to be able to engage its natural Rest-and-Repair state.
Stress, trauma and other nervous system overwhelm can engage the sympathetic Fight-or-Flight state for long periods of time, inhibiting the Rest-and-Repair functions.
NetworkSpinal can assist the body to naturally move from Fight-or-Flight into Rest-and-Repair, meaning healthier vagal tone, HRV, cardiac function, immune regulation and digestive function.
NetworkSpinal and HRV research can be found here.
Further chiropractic and HRV research can be found in article one and article two.

As we are establishing greater awareness within your body, in the process of your nervous system finding areas of tension and unwinding those patterns, it can reconnect to certain experiences and sensations it had previously compartmentalised and disconnected from.
In these moments we can often re-experience an emotion or feeling we hadn't let ourselves fully experience at the time an event occurred. This is a natural phenomenon throughout the healing process called retracing. Retracing is expected, temporary and a good sign that energy is moving and connection is being made.
Emotion means “energy-in-motion”, and its purpose is to compel us to take action.
Research within this field was conducted by the renowned neuroscientist Candace B. Pert, a Nobel Prize nominee who’s book Molecules of Emotion explores the link between emotions and the mind-body connection.
