NICE definition
NICE is a way of working with the body on physical, mental and emotional levels.
The body is contolled by the nervous system. The nervous system works through reflex activity with the main organisational focus being on survival (feeding, fight/flight, reproduction and immune function). Disturbances with the function of the body can be thought of as a disturbance with the normal functioning of reflex activity, generally arising from some trauma, whether physical, environmental, emotional or other.
NICE protocols deal with this aberrant reflex activity to help the body return to a normal homeostatic condition.
The way of testing or challenging reflex activity is through muscle testing.
Corrections are made generally made by touching, rubbing, and the application of pressure synchronised with breathing.
Description
NICE protocols address the following areas -
Primary Sacral Respiritory Pumping mechanisms (including the dural system)
Vestibular coordination and control
Stability of the skeletal structure / framework (both axial and appendicular)
TMJ dysfunction
Emotional disturbances
Nutritional stresses
Vibrational / energetic stresses
Gait mechanisms
Endocrine and immune systems
Allergies
The meridian system
Background
The NICE protocols have developed out of Sacro Occipital Technique, Applied Kinesiology, Craniosacral therapy, Acupuncture, Homeopathy and the work of Dr Carl Ferreri DC. and others working in similar areas.
In many ways NICE can be thought of as an evolution of AK together with the protocols developed by Dr Ferreri.
The NICE model is continually growing and developing.
