During those wild times. Take care of your VAGUS
Here are a few good tips ⬇️

And happy to treat you with CranioSacral

Va-va-vagus! Known for its various internal functions, mostly unconscious actions like breathing and digestion, the pneumogastric nerve (“vagus nerve”) also creates VITAL link between the gut-brain axis, acting as a superhighway of energy and information.

The body’s superhighway carries information between the brain and the internal organs. That’s why we love to love on our vagus nerve. Here are some rituals that may help soothe this mighty messenger:

🎵 MUSIC ~ hum, sing, or listen to relaxing music.

💊 SUPPLEMENT ~ protect the nerves with B vitamins.

💤 SLEEP HABITS ~ keep your sleep-wake cycle consistent.

🌚 DARKNESS ~ rest in darkness to jumpstart melatonin synthesis.

🤲🏽 MASSAGE ~ get hands-on healing to release trauma + tension.

🌿 PLANT MEDICINE ~ nourish the nervous system with trophorestorative herbs.

💦 COLD THERAPY ~ curb stress + increase blood flow to the brain with cold water immersion.

🍄 NERVINES + ADAPTOGENS ~ supports the nervous system, adrenal + endocrine systems.

💆🏾‍♀️ 4-7-8 BREATH ~ breathe through the nose: inhale for 4 counts, hold 7, exhale 8.

Such a good post 🙏🏻

PAIN SENSITIVITY VS. TISSUE DAMAGE
⠀
The nervous system is like Pepperidge Farm…it remembers.
⠀
Sometimes a better way of thinking about pain when it persists after an injury is to think of it as sensitivity. When our body gets hurt, we become sensitive to certain stimuli because the nervous system is trying to protect us.
⠀
This is great when we first get injured because it alerts us to prevent subsequent harm but not so great when our tissue is healed. It's normal to have some sensitivity when coming back from an injury. After all, our brain is just trying to protect us.
⠀
However, after a certain time frame, we know that our tissues/muscles have healed. In these scenarios, we should not relate hurt to harm but instead to sensitivity. You can work around sensitivity by gradually re-introducing activities in varied intensities that once provided discomfort.
⠀
You're not broken and as long as you are living…your body does a stellar job at adapting.

Great post- love it.

Is this movement bad for your back?
Can this damage your discs?

No.. 😊
A lot of physiotherapists, doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, and the general public have to change their beliefs about the spine.

People with degenerative discs have been told that they can’t bend their back, lift heavy and do manual work.

There are a lot of examples of people who have gone back to doing the very things they’re being told they can’t do.
There is a lot of fear about the structure of the spine.
They have been told to be careful with their backs and have the fear to do harm.

We know that fear is a huge driver of abnormal pain behaviour.

A shift in beliefs has to happen within the medical, physiotherapy profession and in the general public.

We can trust our back and shouldn't be feared. It is a robust, strong structure.
Often with disabling back pain, the motor systems are overactive, hypersensitive. The muscles are guarding the back too much.
That can be driven by habits of movements, habits of posture, fear, anxiety, stress, or just the presence of pain and you developed a protective guarding response.

In this video prof. Dr. Peter O’Sullivan explains more about this problem and tells about his Cognitive Functional Therapy approach, which shows great results for patients with chronic low back pain:

This is a video from a list on the Trust me, I'm a "Physiotherapist" Youtube channel.

Share this post with all your collegues, doctors, and other health care professionals.. Everybody should see this! 😊👍

This is amazing! Great video that shows how everything is connected through fascia in our bodies.

So good to be back after infinity 😃

So true 😊

Don't say anything about your body that you wouldn't say about your buddy's body.

Love that sentence. Our body is so amazing!

“You're not broken and as long as you are living…your body does a stellar job at adapting.”
