THE VAGUS NERVE IS THE LONGEST CRANIAL NERVE WITHIN OUR BODY
It originates in the brain stem which regulates breathing and blood pressure and communicates with many body parts such as a few taste buds, the outer ear, the carotid artery but mostly the internal organs such as the heart, lungs, spleen, and digestive tract – the stomach, small and large intestine, colon, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.

When you receive a massage you are usually seeking to decrease pain, anxiety, increase mobility, and or feelings of well-being.

Once you reach these goals through the appropriate treatment, you are helping your body become optimal by allowing your vagus nerve to work at its highest capacity.
