Don't forget to address ankle mobility for knee pain. The tibia helps form both the knee joint and the ankle joint. The motion at one necessarily affects the other. Here are some ankle mobility exercises/stretches that may be helpful. https://www.rfr.bz/f896ebe

Hope for Depression — the Power of the Vagus Nerve and Bowen Therapy

New research has found that stimulating the vagus nerve — a key communication pathway between the brain and major organs — can significantly improve the quality of life in people with treatment-resistant depression.

In a clinical trial of 493 participants with major depression, those who received vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) showed measurable improvements in mood, daily functioning, and overall wellbeing — even after years of unsuccessful treatment.

👉 And here's where Bowen Therapy comes in.

Bowen Therapy has a specific vagus nerve procedure, and its aim, along with all Bowen moves, is to shift the body from the flight or fight response (sympathetic nervous system) to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest mode) where healing can occur.

While the trial involved an implanted device, Bowen Therapy uses the body’s own healing intelligence — with no drugs, no force, and no devices — just targeted, mindful touch.

The vagus nerve connects — and so does Bowen.

You think bodywork is expensive? Try surgery, prescriptions, co-pays, deductibles, missed work, chronic pain and decreased quality of life. You've got one body. Do right by it.
