The Vagus Nerve and Our Digestive Tract Article by LORILYNN DOWIAK, PT Vagus is the Latin word for wan - dering, an appropriate description for a nerve that... extends throughout most of the visceral system. It is clear that our digestive health is dependent upon healthy vagal tone. How can we as massage and manual therapist contribute to our own vagal tone and help our clients to do so as well? Visceral manipulation of the organs of the digestive system stimulates the fascia environment surrounding the organs, stimulating nerve receptors within the fascia, including the vagus nerve receptors.

A statement from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association: http://ow.ly/y8iB50zW2eb

With the COVID update today it appears that physiotherapy services will be permitted to open soon. We still do not have all the safety guidelines given to us. Once we have that, it will still take some time to source all the supplies needed and do any retrofitting that needs to happen before I can safely open. Please be patient and be aware that things will be very different when you come next. Please read your reminder emails very carefully for instructions.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic I have closed my clinic for the time being. If you have an upcoming appointment that will be cancelled I have emailed you directly. As this is a day by day situation I am unable to rebook your appointments at this time but I can put you on a list to book something when it is safe to resume. I wish you good mental and physical health during this uncertain time.
