You’re not just “stressed”…
your body might be stuck in the wrong state.

The vagus nerve plays a massive role in how you regulate:
– Stress
– Recovery
– Mood
– Energy

And this isn’t just theory.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been FDA-approved since 1997 for epilepsy, and since 2005 for treatment-resistant depression—showing real, measurable effects on the nervous system.

Since then, research has expanded into:
– Stress regulation
– Emotional health
– Recovery + autonomic balance
– Even stroke rehab and chronic pain

Here’s the key 👇
Your nervous system is trainable.

This isn’t about a quick fix.

It’s about stacking the right inputs:
• Sleep
• Movement
• Breath work
• Nutrition + hydration
• Getting outside
• Managing daily stress

Tools like dry needling can help your system shift—
but the real change comes from what you do consistently.

That’s how you go from constantly surviving → actually recovering.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in stress mode…
there’s a reason—and there’s a way forward.

Most people think low back pain comes from something being “tight.”

But one of the most overlooked contributors is a deep spinal stabilizer called the multifidus.

The multifidus sits along your spine and plays a key role in:
• Controlling movement between each vertebra
• Providing segmental stability
• Helping your body handle load efficiently

Here’s what’s important 👇
After injury—or even just ongoing pain—the multifidus can shut down or become inhibited.

And it doesn’t always turn back on automatically.

When that happens:
• Larger muscles try to compensate
• Movement becomes less controlled
• Load shifts to structures that shouldn’t be taking it
• Pain can persist or keep coming back

That “tight” feeling people describe is often protective guarding of pathological tissue, not a true flexibility issue.

In this image, we’re targeting the multifidus using dry needling with electrical stimulation to:
• Improve blood flow and activation
• Restore timing and coordination
• Reduce guarding and pain
• Re-establish spinal stability

This is one piece of the puzzle—but it’s often a missing one.

Understanding why something hurts is what allows us to actually fix it.

Real stories like this are why we do what we do. 🔥

“After 1 session I felt relief the following day… swelling down, stiffness gone.”

When you’ve had 2 ACL surgeries and years of daily knee pain, that kind of change matters.

Dry needling isn’t magic—it’s targeted work on the tissues that are actually driving the problem.

And when paired with the right plan, the body responds.
But this review also highlights something bigger…

If you’ve been in the clinic, you’ve likely worked with or heard about Emily— coaching strength classes, guiding contrast therapy sessions, and helping create the recovery experience people are now talking about.

That same passion is now moving into her own space, here at Motivation Health & Wellness, and seeing patients with Pine and Petal Holistic Wellness 🌿

We’re proud to have had her be a part of what we’re building here—and even more excited to see her continue helping people prioritize their health and feeling their best.

Because at the end of the day…

It’s not just about getting out of pain.

It’s about building a body that can keep doing what you love.

You’re not weak… you’re just not producing force fast enough.

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Most athletes focus on the mass side of that equation…
lifting heavier, getting stronger.

But here’s what’s often missing 👇
👉 How FAST you can move yourself

If acceleration is low, your overall force output is limited—no matter how strong you are.

That’s where performance actually changes.

At Motivation Health & Wellness, we work with athletes to: ✔️ Build real strength
✔️ Improve rate of force development
✔️ Train explosive, sport-specific movement

Not just stronger… but faster and more powerful.

If you feel like you’ve plateaued or can’t translate strength into performance, this is usually why.

Knee pain while running?

This is something we see all the time with runners—from beginners to high-level athletes.

And here’s the reality…

👉 It’s usually not your knee.

In our experience working with runners, knee pain is most often a result of how you’re moving, not just where you feel it.

We consistently see:
• Poor hip strength
• Lack of single-leg control
• Movement breakdown as fatigue sets in

When that happens, the knee ends up taking more abnormal load than it should.

So you stretch it.
Foam roll it.
Take time off.
…but it keeps coming back.

Because the real issue wasn’t addressed.

At Motivation Health & Wellness, we focus on:
✔️ Identifying the true source of pain
✔️ Building strength where it actually matters
✔️ Improving movement so your body can handle the demands of running

That’s how you get back to running—and stay there.

If you’re dealing with this right now, we can help you break it down and fix it.

DM “RUN” or reach out to get started.

Stay strong and stay healthy. 🔥✊

Use your HSA or FSA to invest in your health.

Many people don’t realize that services like physical therapy, dry needling, and performance care are often eligible expenses through your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

That means you can use pre-tax dollars to:
✔️ Address pain and injuries
✔️ Improve performance
✔️ Stay consistent with your training
✔️ Take a proactive approach to your health

At Motivation Health & Wellness, we focus on helping you move better, feel better, and continue doing the things you enjoy — without unnecessary limitations.

If you’ve been putting off care, this is a simple way to make it more accessible.
