WELCOME TO SRQ NEUROSOMATIC SPECIALISTS!
Our focus is balancing the body structurally through soft tissue manipulation using Neurosomatic Therapy. Postural, gait, and movement assessment guide every session, so the work addresses the structural patterns contributing to your discomfort — not just the spot that hurts.
Non-Invasive, Non-Chiropractic, & Drug-Free Treatment
Your First Visit: What to Expect
You don't need to understand Neurosomatic Therapy before your first visit. We'll listen, assess how your body stands and moves, and explain a plan for care.
-
STEP 1
Time to understand your concerns
We discuss your symptoms, relevant injuries, previous treatments, and what you want to get back to doing. Your history helps us understand how your concerns developed and where to focus our assessment.
-
STEP 2
A detailed assessment
We evaluate your posture, walking, and movement to identify imbalances and ways your body may be compensating, such as shifting weight or overworking certain muscles.
-
STEP 3
Addressing the first obstacles to improvement
When appropriate, we begin addressing key restrictions or compensations that may make it harder for your body to respond to treatment. The amount of corrective work during this visit depends on your history and assessment findings.
-
STEP 4
A clear plan for moving forward
We explain our findings, outline treatment priorities, and give you an estimated number of visits. In our experience, patients typically need approximately 10-12 sessions to address their primary concerns, although individual needs and results vary.
Your first appointment prioritizes your history and assessment. Corrective work may begin when appropriate; a full treatment session is not guaranteed.
What is Neurosomatic Therapy?
Neurosomatic Therapy (NST) is an integrative form of hands-on manual therapy that looks at how your body's structure and movement may contribute to pain. Rather than focusing only on the area that hurts, we assess how muscles, connective tissue, posture, and movement work together throughout the body.
We begin with your health history and a detailed assessment of how you stand, walk, and move. This helps us identify restrictions, imbalances, and compensations — ways your body may shift or overwork certain muscles to manage an injury or limitation. A pattern in one area can place extra strain on another, so the source of discomfort may not be where you feel it.
Those findings guide targeted work on muscles and connective tissue. Treatment priorities are specific to you: reducing excessive tension, improving flexibility, and helping your body move with less strain. We reassess as care progresses and adjust the plan based on your response.
Our goal is to address the structural patterns contributing to your symptoms, support more comfortable movement, and help you understand how to care for your body between visits.
Our approach considers five goals of rehabilitation:
- Reduce excessive muscle tension
- Restore flexibility
- Improve movement mechanics
- Build strength
- Build muscular endurance
Recommendations depend on your assessment and progress. We also explain ways you can support your care between visits.
How our approach guides your care
We look at how your body supports itself and moves as a whole. Your symptoms matter, and so do the patterns that may be placing extra demands on the painful area.
By combining your history with posture, walking, and movement assessments, we develop a plan that reflects your individual findings and goals.
Muscles and connective tissue influence how your body stands and moves. Restrictions or compensations in one area can affect the demands placed on another.
Our assessment helps us identify which patterns to address first. Hands-on techniques may include targeted soft tissue work, stretching, and myofascial release, selected according to your needs and response.
We explain the findings and reassess your progress so that you understand the purpose of your care and the next steps.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT US?
MEET THE TEAM
THE BEGINNING
A close friend and professional bodybuilder first inspired Casey to pursue bodywork. His interest grew into a career helping athletes and people living with persistent pain. In 2013, he opened his clinic in downtown Sarasota, where he continues to provide individualized, hands-on care.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Casey completed his formal training at the Florida College of Natural Health, including more than 1,300 clinical hours, and earned an Associate of Science degree in Natural Health with a concentration in Advanced Massage Techniques. He became a licensed massage therapist in 2011.
CONTINUED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
After graduating, Casey began studying Paul St. John's work in Neurosomatic Therapy. He completed his NST training and spent two years as a staff therapist at the St. John-Clark Pain Treatment Center in Clearwater, Florida.
Since founding his Sarasota clinic in 2013, Casey has continued developing his work as a therapist and instructor. He also served as a teaching assistant and teacher at the Center for Neurosomatic Studies for two years.
His approach emphasizes careful assessment, attention to postural and movement patterns, and clear explanations that help patients understand their care. Outside the clinic, Casey enjoys family life and hosts NST & Things, a podcast about life, Neurosomatic Therapy, and posture.
