Parasympathetic nervous system.
Updated: Aug 9, 2022
Bodygrid Therapy, as a modality for deep relaxation, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the system that must activate after we have experienced a 'fight or flight' event.
The parasympathetic nervous system is also referred to as the ‘rest and digest’ system as it functions to conserves the body’s natural activity and relaxes the individual once an emergency has passed.
Bodygrid Therapy, when used as a complimentary therapy alongside conventional medicine, aids recovery and healing. It offers the love and compassion often diluted by the demands of 'task driven' medical intervention.
Surgery and medical procedures in general, are experienced as 'an emergency situation' by the body.
