Does it matter what we have in our tool belt of therapy? I say 'no, it doesn't'. To often we hear one is better than another. But the goal is the same. It just matters if the body needs it during that time.
----------
We have to ask ourselves: why are we using it. What are we using it for? How are going to use it to help heal the situation? When is it the right time to use it? Who do we use it on? Where in the body do we utilize the tool? matters when and how you use to and for what outcome.
----------
I have taken lots of courses to have people then tell me, 'don't take that course because it's a waste of time and money'. I've heard it all!
----------
Doesn't mean you've wasted anything. I see it as having different keys for locks you don't know the combinations for. 🔒 + 🔑 = 🔓
---------
Pull them out when needed as it is truly important to you as a learner and listener, communicating for permission on the client you're working with.

"When we have an emotion within our hearts, that emotion sends a signal to our brain and the quality of that signal determines what the brain does in response to the emotion".
-----
When we're in a state of stress our energy field goes into a state of resistance (protection). Blood is affected. Circulation can either flow rapidly or even be quite congested, depending on how damaging the emotional signal is (acidic and inflammation).
-----
Whenever the signal of stress has been rediscovered through verbal, mental, or manual manipulation, the limbic and nervous system end up playing heavy roles to this stimulus. But what happens when the continuous neural patterns of suppressing these signals trumps the signals from surfacing all the time?
-----
Its like any child or when we were kids, and we are supposed to put our dirty clothing in the hamper. Every time we had more dirty clothing, it was so much easier dropping it on top of the ones on the floor and pushing it under the bed or in the corner so you wouldn't see in plain site. This is an adopted and forced pattern we have chosen because the feelings are too traumatic for our body to handle and be comfortable with every moment it comes up.
-----
⬆️ Read this again ⬆️
-----
Remember, our bodies are always looking to feel balanced, good, pain-free, strong, etc. It will do exactly what it needs to do, pull resources from other muscles, tight fascia, bones, and even sacrifice sleep to feel the things above...until it's worn out and you are backed in a corner, forced to deal with "the clothing you should've put away a long time ago".

Sensory input motivates motor input

The first step in realizing something is going wrong is acknowledging it. Know you need to make change.
----------
But what if we don't recognize this change for the worse? Is it too late to feel better?
----------
I always say, "where there's an effect, there's a cause". Meaning any negative reaction your body, mind, soul is presenting, there is the root to the problem. For example: It could be a past memory that has manifested itself from early Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) to a constant distended stomach years later, to palpable tumors throughout any intestinal wall in your adult years. Might seem far fetched, but you never know.
----------
Believable?
----------
Aim for the source, rule out variables and the body will do what it needs to do to rid itself of toxicity. The means in which this release happens can be from nutrition, manual work on the body, energy work, mindful and cognitive awareness, etc.
----------
There is always a way to tap into it. Don't give up on yourself. Once the doors or gates have open, other systems might need the same motivation of unlocking. It can't be a quick fix as it took years to get your body adapting to feel toxic.

But sometimes change is necessary to take a step forward and find that balance we're all searching for.

...Stays in Vagus!

It can help regulate systems everywhere throughout your body.
----------
The same nerve that once stimulated, can provide the "feel good" means that can further allow other structures to work together.
----------
Great ways to stimulate the vagus nerve:
.
💯 Breathing through your nose 👃🏼
💯 Slow your breath down
💯 Use your belly, diaphragm and ribs (in that order)
💯 Inhale for 5 secs and exhale for a count of 10 secs
💯 Quiet your breath
----------
You breath everyday. There are many ways of doing it. Just make sure you're doing it right.

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME (TOS)
⠀
[PATHOLOGY & DIAGNOSIS]
⠀
This video (Venogram) is an amazing follow up to my TOS series I posted a few weeks ago!
It describes a patient with venous TOS: Provocative test shows right subclavian compression and compromised venous return.
⠀
TOS is a term used to describe a group of disorders that occur when there is compression, injury or irritation of the nerves and/or blood vessels (arteries and veins) in the lower neck and upper chest area. TOS is named for the space (the thoracic outlet) between your lower neck and upper chest where this grouping of nerves and blood vessels is found.
⠀
TOS affects people of all ages and gender. The condition is common among athletes who participate in sports that require repetitive motions of the arm and shoulder, such as baseball, swimming, volleyball, tennis and other sports.
⠀
Types of TOS disorders and related symptoms
▪️Neurogenic TOS: This condition is related to abnormalities of bony and soft tissue in the lower neck region (which may include the cervical rib area) that compress and irritate the nerves of the brachial plexus, the complex of nerves that supply motor (movement) and sensory (feeling) function to the arm and hand. Symptoms include weakness or numbness of the hand; decreased size of hand muscles, which usually occurs on one side of the body; and/or pain, tingling, prickling, numbness and weakness of the neck, chest, and arms.
▪️Venous TOS: This condition is caused by damage to the major veins in the lower neck and upper chest. The condition develops suddenly, often after unusual and tiring exercise of the arms. Symptoms include swelling of the hands, fingers and arms, as well as heaviness and weakness of the neck and arms. The veins in the anterior (front) chest wall veins also may appear dilated (swollen).
▪️Arterial TOS: The least common, but most serious, type of TOS is caused by congenital (present at birth) bony abnormalities in the lower neck and upper chest. Symptoms include cold sensitivity in the hands and fingers; numbness, pain or sores of the fingers; and poor blood circulation to the arms, hands and fingers.
