NST stands for Neurosomatic Therapy, a cross between soft tissue and structural therapy. Muscles move bones. If a bone is out of place, it’s either due to trauma or because a muscle put it there. In either case Neurosomatic Therapy gets to the root of the problem to correct it, relieving long standing (pun intended) pain patterns the body may have developed.
Most 'massage programs' prepare students for spa environments, focusing on relaxation techniques, and general relief. The Center for Neurosomatic Studies (CNS), however, is dedicated to training therapists in the treatment of chronic pain through Neurosomatic Therapy (NST). NST is a structural approach that assesses postural imbalances to identify the root cause of pain. By learning precise postural assessment techniques, students develop a clear roadmap for addressing dysfunction at its source, setting them apart in the field.
“In the future having a structural therapist will be as common as a family doctor.” — Paul St. John (Founder of Neurosomatic Therapy)

"I earned a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science, but I learned more at CNS than in my four-year degree. The program combines deep anatomy, hands-on clinic experience, and advanced training that addresses both musculoskeletal and neurological issues—like headaches, vertigo, and TMJD. Within months of graduating, I opened my own practice and quickly began helping patients find relief where others couldn’t."


"Attending the Center for Neurosomatic Studies is one of the best decisions I’ve made. I gained an amazing education and was able to begin a meaningful career path where I’m able to help people out of pain every day. I couldn’t ask for something more rewarding. The information in this program continuously amazed me and blew me away. Everything we learn just “makes sense” and you wonder why it’s not more widely known information."
