For therapists
How often do you meet people with ailments for which there is apparently no longer any help; People who have suffered pain, other symptoms, or dysfunction for many years, or who suddenly experience pain, although they have “done nothing”, which could explain these pain?
How often do people come to you with files full of radiographs, nuclear spins, or CT images that do not reveal the symptoms?
NBT is a technique that allows you to explore the structural causes of stress pain that are usually not analyzed. Stress pain does not appear on an X-ray, or nuclear spin image. There is no test for stress pain and its causes.
Structural changes in the body increase the tension in the tissue. These changes can be easily detected by accurate posture analyzes. Analysis of the posture reveals shortening stresses and overstretch stresses in the tissue. NBT offers detailed techniques for the whole body to reprogram not only tensions of the muscles, but also tensions of the tendons and ligaments.
NBT covers the entire body in 7 courses. These include techniques for the entire tactile soft tissue from head to toe. Many of these techniques make it possible to treat tissues otherwise termed intolerable. This not only helps you but also the people who treat you.
Each course provides specific posture analyzes for the region of the body to which the course focuses. By analyzing your self-made analyzes you will learn the causes of stress pain. This allows you to create a precise and successful treatment plan. The techniques can then be used in a targeted manner. Thus, NBT is an alternative to purely symptomatic treatment.
The aim of a successful NBT treatment is the reprogramming of the tissue tension. New reflex arcs are built up in the central nervous system. This leads to a sustained stress reduction which dissolves the origin of the pain conditions.
For Patients
What can you expect as a patient from NBT??
Before we ask this question for you a few questions to you.
- 1: How long have you been dealing with their symptoms?
- 2: What examinations have been done by physicians and / or therapists for your symptoms?
- 3: X-ray, nuclear spin, or CT images have been taken?
- 4: If your symptoms have been explained by the evaluation of the examinations and pictures, or have not yet been explained for your symptoms?
- 5: Were your body postures and tensions in the tissues ever considered as a reason for your symptoms?
These questions will be asked to you during your first treatment. The reason for this is that most studies focus on the function of the body. For example, in migraine pictures are made of the head and brain, whereby according to tumors, narrowed or dilated blood lines and the like. is looked at. Structural changes and tensions in the tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue are very rarely considered as causes of pain and disturbances in the organism.
Since most of the investigations and search for functional causes are already covered, we are looking for the structural causes of symptoms of all kinds in NBT. The most common symptoms are long-term pain. The analysis of your body is the basis for a targeted treatment plan. According to a posture analysis, in most cases it is very easy to recognize which tissues have shortened and which are overstretched. Long-term shortening and over-stretching stresses are the cause of many tension pains which can not be seen on any X-ray, nuclear spin, or CT images.
Without an accurate posture analysis, often only the pain (symptoms) are treated, which temporarily brings relief. Tension pains are often found in the overstretched tissues. Treatment of these tissues brings a certain relaxation, but extends the fibers of the tissue even more. Without the treatment of the shortened tissues on the opposite side of the body, it is very difficult to reproach stress pain in the overdistened tissues. The posture analysis provides the NBT therapist with the necessary information to develop a targeted treatment plan for you. Not only can local tension pain be solved, but also the necessary structural changes in the body can be supported.
NBT is a detailed technology with which the stresses are specifically reprogrammed by pressure. The reprogramming is carried out via the central nervous system, which leads to a sustained reduction in voltage and thus to pain relief.

History of NBT: Neuromuscular Therapy
The term neuromuscular has been used for a long time. He has probably researched and turned into techniques in the research of Vladimir Janda, a Czech neurologist and naturopath, the analysis techniques for muscle functions and the connections between muscles and the central nervous system. Stanley Lief and Boris Chaitow developed the first neuromuscular techniques in Europe at the same time.
The American chiropractor Raymond Nimmo was the first to draw attention to the sound system (tension system) with his soft tissue and trigger point techniques. He was very likely the inventor of the T-bars (T-shaped woodworkers with rubber pads) with which in the NBT very much is worked. Dr. med. Janet Travell and Dr. med. David Simons have developed the trigger point therapy, which is very strongly incorporated into the NBT. They developed more accurate treatment methods for pain triggered by active trigger points. The goal of all the above doctors and many others was to make it consistent (homeostasis) between the nervous system and the muscular system. The realization that structural changes influence the functions in the body and thus the origin of many illness and pain conditions are recognized by Janda, Lief, Chaitow, Nimmo, Travell and Simons. Since muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue move our bones, dissonances are between the two systems origin of the structural changes.
In the 1970s, Paul St. John, himself a student of Nimmo, used the research results and the knowledge of the above doctors and many others as the origin for neuromuscular therapy – St. John Method. The origin of the techniques for NBT lies in neuromuscular therapy. After many years of working with the St. John method, Dove Ulf Mahnke further developed the techniques of neuromuscular therapy. Many new details, which allow the therapist to work more specifically on muscle, tendon and ligament tension, have been developed by Dove Ulf Mahnke and are taught as the overall technique “NBT”. The techniques were translated by Dove into German, divided into 7 courses, and since 2004 in several German cities several times a year.
