A mind-body stress-reduction technique for the stress your body never finished processing — and is still carrying today.
The argument ended years ago. The deadline passed. The difficult season is over. Yet your body still reacts as if it were happening now — the tight chest, the braced shoulders, the reaction that feels bigger than the moment calls for.
There is a physiological reason for this. When a stressful experience is not fully processed, the body can store it as an ongoing stress-response pattern — what NET calls a Neuro Emotional Complex (NEC). Later, anything that resembles the original situation can re-trigger the pattern: the same tension, the same symptoms, the same emotional response, on repeat.
Insight alone rarely clears these patterns, because they don't live in your thoughts. They live in your nervous system. NET works at that level.
Neuro Emotional Technique was developed by chiropractor Dr. Scott Walker. It is a licensed-practitioner, mind-body approach that draws on chiropractic, traditional Chinese medicine, and applied kinesiology to identify and release stress-related patterns held in the body.
During a session, Dr. Stid uses manual muscle testing — a form of biofeedback — to identify the specific stress pattern your body is holding. While you briefly hold the pattern in mind, she applies a gentle correction using spinal contacts and related points. This allows the nervous system to complete and clear the stored response.
Patients are often relieved to learn what NET does not require: there is no need to relive an experience in detail or discuss it at length. The work is done with the body's response, not with the story. Most sessions are brief, and the process is gentle and non-invasive.
Dr. Stid is Level 2 certified in NET. Additional information about the technique is available at netmindbody.com.
Patients most often seek NET when a physical pattern has an emotional driver — or when stress itself has become the symptom. Common reasons include:
Published research, including studies coordinated through the ONE Research Foundation, has examined NET's effects on stress-related distress, with findings of reduced distress in participating patients. NET is a complementary technique: it is not psychotherapy, and it is not a substitute for mental health or medical care.
This combined program of care is one of the most requested packages at Desert Colibri, because the two techniques address the two halves of the same problem, in the order that works: a deep dive with NET, integrated and held with Network Spinal. Package details, including pricing, are reviewed during your complimentary consultation, so Dr. Stid can confirm the package is appropriate for your situation.
The NET deep dive comes first: dedicated sessions that locate the specific stress patterns your nervous system has been holding — often for years — and clear them at the level where they live.
Network Spinal integration follows: as the old patterns release, Network Spinal sessions help your spine and nervous system reorganize around the change, so the new, settled pattern becomes your baseline rather than a temporary state you snap back from.
Patients who choose the combined package are typically those whose tension or symptoms keep returning under structural care alone — the pattern has an emotional driver, and both halves need attention for progress to hold. If you are unsure whether the package is appropriate for you, that is exactly what the complimentary consultation is for.
