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 initial treatment priorities, and give you an estimated number of visits. The plan is refined based on your body's response during the first two visits and reassessed as care progresses. In our experience, patients typically need approximately 10-12 sessions to address their primary concerns, although individual needs and results vary.

What should I bring?

Bring any relevant MRI or CT scans, reports, or other test results you already have, along with information about previous treatments. These help Casey understand your history and prepare an individualized plan. You do not need to obtain new imaging or tests just for this appointment.

Complete your patient intake form before your visit.

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

Care includes helping you understand how your pain developed and which postural or movement patterns may be contributing to it. We explain practical ways to support your progress, reduce repeated strain, and help prevent the same patterns from recurring. Recommendations depend on your assessment and response to care.

What makes Neurosomatic Therapy different?

Our approach starts with the relationship between structure and function: how your body is positioned affects how it moves, and the way you move can influence your posture over time. Anatomy and physiology work together. A restriction or imbalance in one area can change the demands placed on another, which is why the painful spot may not tell the whole story.

Casey looks at the body as a connected structural system. A detailed health history, postural measurements, gait analysis, and movement assessment help identify muscular and structural patterns that may be contributing to persistent discomfort. Those findings guide a personalized plan, including which restrictions or compensations to address first.

This assessment-led process is central to the practice. Each visit builds on what has been learned about your body, your goals, and your response to care.

From assessment to lasting change

Once muscular and structural imbalances have been identified, Casey uses a range of hands-on techniques — including targeted massage, stretching, and myofascial release — to address the soft tissue restrictions involved. The purpose is to help restore balance and more efficient movement throughout the body.

Your first visit establishes initial priorities. The plan is then refined based on how your body responds during the first two visits and reassessed as care progresses. This allows treatment to reflect your actual response rather than relying on the same routine at every appointment.

Patient education is part of that process. Casey explains the findings, how the contributing patterns may have developed, and ways you can reduce repeated strain between visits. The aim is to help you understand your body, support progress, and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT US?

"I am now pain free, and cannot describe how great it feels to be back to normal. Thank you Casey, you gave me back my life!"
DEBBIE R

"The treatment & advice from therapist Casey Smith from the Sarasota Pain Treatment Center has aided me in ways that no other physician has been able to provide."
ROBERT AITKEN

"I found Sarasota Pain Treatment Center & Casey Smith to both be very professional and his work very effective in relieving my lower back pain!
LISA RICHARDS

"I had never heard of neurosomatic therapy prior to meeting Casey and I have to say I am a huge fan. To be clear, this is not chiropractic, pain meds or massage therapy"
Jaime Flowers

For anyone experiencing extreme pain or discomfort, I highly recommend this impressive man. I walked in not sure what to expect or what I would get out of the consultation/appointment; and when I walked out, I was not only physically refreshed but mentally refreshed. His knowledge in this field is probably the most rewarding and reassuring part about the process of healing.

Kristyn Truesdale

"I had major scar tissue and adhesions throughout my scapula, traps & rhomboids so bad I couldn't retract my shoulders back and started getting neck pains because of it. I feel like a completely new person with mobility now."
Francesca Bologno

I had pain in my upper back on my right side for 9 years. I had been to a few doctors who recommended changing how I was sitting at work or wanted to give me pain meds. Casey was able to get rid of this pain in an extremely short period of time and it has not come back since!
Jaime S.

"I walked into Casey's office full of pain. I walked out with less pain and full of hope."
Marie Blunt

Casey is incredibly knowledgeable about his profession and will go above and beyond for his patient's well being. I highly recommend his services and highly recommend him for the entire families overall health and well being.

MEET CASEY SMITH

THE BEGINNING

Casey began his career path after a close friend and professional bodybuilder inspired him to pursue bodywork. That experience grew into a lasting passion for helping athletes and people living with chronic pain. For 15 years, Casey has owned and operated his own clinic in Sarasota, Florida, practicing and treating patients in the community. The practice, formerly Sarasota Pain Treatment Center, is now known as SRQ Neurosomatic Specialists. He continues to provide individualized care with the same goal: helping people move more comfortably and return to the activities that matter to them.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Casey began his formal training at the Florida College of Natural Health, where he completed more than 1,300 clinical training hours and earned an Associate of Science degree in Natural Health with a concentration in Advanced Massage Techniques. A professor in his Trigger Point Therapy class inspired him to focus on clinical work. He completed his education and became a licensed massage therapist in 2011.

He went on to complete the 18-month Neurosomatic Studies program at the Center for Neurosomatic Studies in Clearwater, Florida, studying the work of Paul St. John. He also completed his certification in personal training, further developing his understanding of movement and exercise.

CONTINUED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

After discovering Neurosomatic Therapy, Casey knew he had found the clinical approach he wanted to pursue. Following his NST training, he spent two years as a staff therapist at the St. John-Clark Pain Treatment Center in Clearwater, Florida, applying and refining those skills through direct patient care.

Throughout his years owning and operating his Sarasota clinic, Casey has continued developing his work as both a therapist and an instructor. He served as a teaching assistant and teacher at the Center for Neurosomatic Studies for two years, helping other therapists learn the assessment and treatment methods that guide his own practice.

His experience includes approximately 20,000 clinical patient hours. That experience informs his attention to the details of posture, movement, and the compensations that can limit the body's function. He continues to expand his knowledge through treatment, education, and instruction.

Outside the clinic, Casey enjoys family life and fatherhood. He also hosts NST & Things, a podcast about life, Neurosomatic Therapy, and posture. Explore the podcast.
