5 Health Tips for Healing with Lasers and Rolfing
- Get Back to How Our Bodies Heal Themselves: In the information age, we are bombarded by traditional methods that often fall short of supporting our needs. To thrive, we must get back to how our bodies heal themselves naturally.
- Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve Daily: The vagus nerve is responsible for 75% of your body’s ability to rest and digest. You can stimulate your vagus nerve every day with a simple reflex called the ocular cardiac reflex. Gently press on your eyeballs for four seconds while taking a deep breath, hold for four seconds, then exhale for four seconds and hold for four seconds. Repeat this 10 times to calm down your nervous system and improve your parasympathetic tone.
- Rolfing: Rolfing is a type of bodywork named after Ida Rolf that focuses on fascia and connective tissue to unblock the body and address root causes of pain and dysfunction. Rolfing also addresses emotional and energetic issues that may arise during treatment.
- Low Level Laser Therapy: Low level laser therapy uses lasers to heal you from the inside out. Chris Hodel, an integrative practitioner and expert in low level laser therapy, has been using lasers to treat a wide range of conditions from muscular skeletal pain to gut and brain health.
