History of Neural Organization TechniqueHistory of Neural Organization TechniqueHistory of Neural Organization TechniqueThe Origins of Neural Organization Technique

The life long work of Dr. Carl Ferreri

By Mitchell Corwin

Neural Organization Technique (N.O.T.) , was the culmination of a life time of work and study with themany healing modalities and techniques that were available to Dr. Carl Ferreri after his graduation fromchiropractic school in 1956. Applied Kinesiology and Sacro Occipital techniques were the chiropracticmethodologies he drew upon the most. When asked how many educational seminars he attended, hisanswer was, “I lost count after 200. I just wanted to know everything that everybody else knew.”

His work was his passion and when practitioners and patients asked how he developed this technique,his short answer was “the Creator allowed me a small glimpse into how things really work”. Below is asummarized version of an autobiography he was working on before his recent passing in 2007,describing how he got started in chiropractic and how he created Neural Organization Technique. Theproposed title was, “A New Manual For Body Owners …An Adventure in Human Cybernetics”:

““For many years, my patients and particularly the N.O.T. practitioners I’ve taughthave asked the question, how did discover the various protocols which make up whatis now known as Neural Organization Technique? They wanted to know my thoughtprocesses, how I developed the methodology of the treatment programs and how Idiscovered the logic of the body itself. I will share with you many of the thoughtprocesses more or less how they happened. “

TheoryTheory

Facilitate maturation of the primitive reflex systems relating to body centering

Neutralize compensations that are no longer needed by resetting neuralpathways to their original design and function

If necessary rebuild neural pathways that are missing

Re-establish normal function of neural pathways to optimize our vitality and longevity

…Language of the nervous system is always in priority

Corwin EnKA 2008Corwin EnKA 2008 88

PhilosophyPhilosophy

Our survival systems always respond to maximize our survivability

The immune system (an internal survival system) responsibility isto maintain the internal environment …homeostasis:defend against microbial attack, tissue repair, cellular growth andcellular reproduction

A fundamental belief is that everything that happens to us, must

be expressed through one or more of our survival systems

(fight/flight, feeding and reproduction) …we have no other choice

Theory and PhilosophyTheory and Philosophy ……continuedcontinued

1. The Moro reflex …startle response @ 9weeks in-utero and inhibited by 2-4 months.

2. Palmer Reflex …@11 weeks and inhibited by 2-3 months developing into Pincer Grip @ 36 weeks

3. Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Righting Reflex emerges @18 weeks in-utero and fully present at birth.

4. Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex emerges in-utero and and fully present at birth and inhibited at 4

months. Linking with the Moro Reflex and developing into vestibular head movements and the

Vestibulo-spinal tract.

5. Spinal Galant Reflex emerges @20 weeks in-utero and actively present at birth. And eventually

developing into the Tonic Lumbar Righting Reflex. Once active, it will coordinate with the Tonic

Neck Righting Reflex to establish an erect posture.

6. Landau Reflex completes the process developing extensor muscle tone allowing for motor skills,

balance and eventually walking gait.

Our primitive reflexes lay the ground work for the development of our nervous system.

The key is to identify these primitive reflexes that have not completely maturedor inappropriately been retained and facilitative their transition to full maturation.

Each of the external survival reflexes must have a specific control mechanism thatdeveloped out of our primitive reflexes present in-utero and early infancy.

…Svetlana Mastgutova’s presentation visually demonstrated these reflex systems
