Brain-Based Regulation Support (Neurosage)
NeuroSage is a non-invasive supportive tool that may be used as part of an individualised BodyLink plan. It is designed to provide structured sensory and neurological input, and may be considered where regulation, attention, recovery or nervous system load are part of the wider picture.
Some people come to BodyLink specifically wanting to understand whether NeuroSage may be relevant for them or their child. For others, it may be recommended alongside other BodyLink support where it fits their individual needs and goals.
Based in Silverdale, Auckland. Calm, non-invasive support.
How NeuroSage fits at BodyLink
NeuroSage is not used as a one-size-fits-all solution. We consider whether it is relevant to the individual and how it may fit alongside other support you or your child are receiving.
If NeuroSage is recommended, we’ll explain why we’re considering it, what a session involves and what we’ll be looking at over time.

What is Neurosage?
In everyday language, Neurosage is a gentle, technology-based modality designed to support the brain and nervous system.
NeuroSage is a non-invasive, technology-based approach designed to provide structured sensory stimulation to the brain and nervous system.
Developed by SNA Biotech, NeuroSage uses interactive visual and auditory activities delivered through specialised software. Depending on the session and individual, additional sensory input may also be incorporated. The activities are designed to engage areas involved in visual processing, balance, coordination, attention and neurological regulation.
Systemic Neural Adaptation
The process behind NeuroSage is called Systemic Neural Adaptation, SNA Biotech describes this as the intentional use of carefully controlled sensory stimulation over time to encourage adaptive neurological responses.
In practical terms, NeuroSage provides repeated, organised sensory input through activities that can be adjusted according to the individual. Sessions may involve visual tracking, reaction time, attention, balance, coordination and other interactive tasks, depending on what is most relevant.
The software is designed to vary and adapt the stimulation used over time rather than delivering exactly the same activity in every session.
How BodyLink uses NeuroSage
At BodyLink, NeuroSage may be used as one part of a wider, individualised support plan. We consider what you or your child are experiencing, which areas may be most relevant, and whether NeuroSage is an appropriate supportive tool.
We keep the process practical and explain what we are doing, why a particular activity has been selected and what we are monitoring over time.
Why BodyLink uses Neurosage
At our Silverdale clinic, we look at how the brain and nervous system are responding to the demands being placed on them. NeuroSage gives us another way to provide structured sensory input when this may be useful as part of an individualised support plan.
For children
Children’s learning and development rely on many systems working together, including movement, balance, coordination, visual processing, attention, sensory regulation and developmental reflex patterns.
Where difficulties are showing up across these areas, NeuroSage may be used alongside other BodyLink support to provide organised visual, auditory and sensory stimulation. Activities can be selected and adjusted according to the individual child and the areas we are working to support.
For children also working on primitive reflex integration, movement or developmental foundations, NeuroSage may complement that work rather than replacing it.
For teens and adults
NeuroSage is not only used with children. For teens and adults, it may be considered where areas such as nervous system regulation, attention, coordination, balance, sensory processing or recovery are relevant to the wider picture.
The activities provide structured sensory and neurological input and can be adapted over time according to the individual’s needs and responses.
Our wider approach
BodyLink’s approach to neurological and developmental support is also informed by practitioner training completed with Dr Josh Madsen, including training in functional neurology, primitive reflexes, motor and sensory integration and developmental support.
NeuroSage is one of the tools we may draw on within that broader approach. We do not use it as a one-size-fits-all therapy — we consider whether it is relevant to the individual and how it fits with the other support they may be receiving.

What it may support
Everyone’s needs are different. NeuroSage may be considered as part of an individualised plan when support is being explored around areas such as:
Children and developmental support
- retained primitive reflexes and developmental foundations
- attention and focus
- sensory processing and regulation
- emotional regulation and overwhelm
- coordination and learning challenges
For teens and adults, NeuroSage may also be relevant where stress load, focus, regulation, sensory overwhelm or recovery are priorities.
If you’re unsure whether NeuroSage is relevant for you or your child, get in touch and we can help guide you.
What a session is like
Neurosage sessions are designed to be calm, comfortable, and non-invasive.
A typical session may include:
- a brief check-in about how you or your child are doing and any changes since the last visit
- interactive visual and auditory activities delivered through the NeuroSage software
- additional sensory input where appropriate
- activities selected and adjusted according to individual needs and responses
- review of progress over time so the approach can be adapted where needed
- For children, we keep sessions supportive, age-appropriate and manageable. For teens and adults, the same individualised approach applies.
If Neurosage is included in your plan, we’ll explain:
- why it has been recommended
- what we’re working to support
- how it fits alongside your broader BodyLink care
- what we’ll monitor and review over time
What happens at the Neurosage assessment
Before beginning NeuroSage, we take time to understand what you or your child are experiencing and establish a baseline for the areas we’ll be working with.
The assessment helps us understand your individual neurological responses and gives us information to set up and tailor the NeuroSage programme appropriately.
We’ll:
- talk through what you’ve been noticing and what you’re hoping to support
- establish a baseline across relevant neurological and sensory areas
- explain how NeuroSage works and what a session will feel like
- use what we observe to help tailor the activities and sensory input to the individual
- answer any questions before you begin
You'll leave with:
- a clearer understanding of the areas we’ve looked at
- an explanation of how NeuroSage may fit with your needs or goals
- what we recommend as the next step
- an idea of what ongoing NeuroSage support may look like

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book Neurosage directly?
NeuroSage is generally used as a supportive tool within a broader BodyLink plan rather than as a standalone starting point.
If you’re specifically interested in NeuroSage, get in touch and tell us what you’re hoping to support. We can discuss whether it may be appropriate for you or your child and how it could fit alongside other BodyLink support.
Is it invasive or painful?
No. Neurosage is designed to be gentle and non-invasive.
Is it suitable for children and adults?
It can be used across ages when appropriate. We’ll discuss suitability after your initial appointment.
Do you diagnose medical conditions?
No. We do not diagnose. We provide non-invasive wellbeing support that can sit alongside your registered healthcare provider.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies depending on your individual needs, goals and how you respond over time.
If NeuroSage is recommended, we’ll discuss the suggested frequency and timeframe following your assessment and review progress regularly as the plan develops.
