🧡💛💚NEW VISION THERAPY (NVT)💚💛🧡
Let’s talk about deviated uvulas and their clinical significance.
At the beginning of an NVT session I will ask you to open your mouth while a shine a light onto your Uvula (dangly thing at the back of the throat!) and investigate how it responds when you say “Argh, Argh, Argh”.
If it deviates, or does not move, it will usually indicate that the Ventral Vagus nerve is compromised and as a consequence, the accessory nerve will also be compromised.
What does this mean?
In short that person has lost the capacity to self heal.
Your body is stuck in some degree of fight or flight. The Vagus nerve or other nerves will be compromised, and as a consequence so will digestion and immune building. The Endocrine System will also be out of balance.
The accessory nerve runs parallel with the vagus so if compromised will often lead to a constant engagement of the SCM (neck muscles) and trapezius muscles, elevation of the ribs, pelvis and jamming of lower back/sacrum.
So we have a neurological AND a musculoskeletal dysfunction.
NVT works closely with the nervous system to flip it into Rest & Recover so it can self heal 💛
