WHEN IS NARM USEFUL?
Common reasons for a visit
Emotional & Mental Well-being
NARM can support people suffering from emotional stress, old relationship patterns, or unexplained feelings. The method helps regulate inner tension, strengthen self-esteem, and build greater emotional stability—without overwhelming the individual. Typical issues can include:
Typical symptoms in osteopathic treatment
– Back pain and herniated discs
– Osteoarthritis and joint problems
– Headaches and migraines
– Neck tension and shoulder problems
– Temporomandibular joint disorders (CMD)
– Digestive problems (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence)
– Irritable bladder and incontinence
– Long Covid (e.g. exhaustion, breathing problems)
– Sleep disorders and inner restlessness
– Tinnitus and dizziness
– Functional heart problems (without findings)
– Stress-related complaints and exhaustion
Our bodies store experiences – especially when stress or emotional strain persists over a longer period. NARM helps to release physical tension, regulate the nervous system, and understand psychosomatic symptoms instead of simply suppressing them.
Typical accompanying symptoms can include:
- Physical tension or strain related to emotional stress
Many people first experience stress in their bodies – for example, as pressure, muscle tension, or shortness of breath. NARM helps to release emotional and physical tension patterns and to calm the nervous system sustainably.
- Sleep disturbances or inner restlessness
If falling asleep is difficult or the body cannot rest at night, NARM can help regulate inner tension and stress reactions and allow for more recovery.
- psychosomatic complaints (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, muscle tension)
Body and mind are closely connected. NARM can provide support when symptoms are exacerbated by stress or emotional strain – for example, in cases of digestive problems, headaches, or chronic tension.
When the body and nervous system are very tense, or old patterns manifest physically, osteopathy can wonderfully complement NARM work.
Some experiences have a longer-lasting impact than we realize. NARM offers a safe space to process traumatic events, strengthen inner resources, and regain stability. It's not about "rehashing" old experiences, but rather about addressing them with new inner regulation.
Typical topics might include:
- Stressful life events (e.g. separation, loss, accident, traumatic medical experiences/surgeries)
NARM can help process strong emotional stress and find one's footing again when life suddenly changes or becomes overwhelming.
- Processing emotionally stressful birth/cesarean section experiences
For many women, a difficult birth or a cesarean section leaves not only physical but also emotional scars – NARM offers a safe space to process these experiences and regain trust in one's own body.
- Processing other traumatic events
Even if experiences happened a long time ago, they can continue to have an effect on the nervous system – NARM helps to gently release old tensions, fear patterns and inner protection mechanisms.
- Promoting self-regulation, resilience and inner stability
Many people desire less stress, more inner peace and a more stable nervous system – NARM strengthens the ability to regulate stress and feel more confident.
- Support in coping with stress in school, training, studies or work
Especially during performance-oriented phases, NARM can help to reduce pressure, strengthen inner resources, and think and feel more clearly.
