Improving Flexibility With a Mindbody Approach
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Neuro Emotional Technique and Stretching Instruction for General Low Back Hip and Hamstring Flexibility. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objectives of this study are to investigate if Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) will impact back and leg flexibility over both the short-term and the long-term. It is hypothesized that NET will improve flexibility and that these changes are durable.

Timeline
Interventions
NET is considered an alternative stress-reduction technique. Its aim is to remove neurological abnormalities which have a specified physiopathological pattern. The goal of NET is to normalize the aberrant patterns through a physical correction. During the NET procedure, various psychological components of the anxious state are considered: cognitions, emotions, and behaviours. These various components are explored for a physiological reaction in the participant. Once a physiological reaction is found, the practitioner helps the participant identify the specific emotion. The procedure is concluded when the patient no longer feels distress or discomfort. Following the intervention, patients frequently report feeling subjective relief.
This arm is the Active Control Arm and will receive two 20-minute sessions of Stretching Instructions. During these instructions, participants will hold stretches for not longer than 5 seconds, which in not likely to have any therapeutic effect.
