Proper and efficient functioning of the Vagus nerve is paramount to both our physical and mental health.
Not only is it the brain’s “eyes and ears” to most of our internal functions, but also a key player in creating change to these functions when needed.
The body will struggle to heal
while in stress-mode
A large proportion of clinic presentations are stress-based due to our modern-day lifestyle.
Regulating the nervous system and bringing the vagus nerve up to speed can make a big difference in treatment results.
From a treatment point of view, vagal tone will affect everything - from lymphatic flow to fascial- and muscle tension.
