THE CERVICAL NERVES ✍️.

Cervical nerves are the eight pairs of spinal nerves (C1-C8) that emerge from the cervical (neck) region of the spinal cord and are crucial for motor and sensory functions in the neck, shoulders, arms, and diaphragm.

They form plexuses, such as the cervical plexus (C1-C4) and the brachial plexus (C5-T1), which branch out to control muscles and provide sensation to these areas. The C1-C7 nerves exit above their corresponding vertebrae, while the C8 nerve exits below the C7 vertebra.

You didn’t “lose balance” because you’re old.
You lost it because you stopped moving.

Let’s stop blaming age for what inactivity caused.
You sat down for years.
You stopped training your legs.
You stopped trusting your body.
And the world told you that was “normal.”
That was graceful aging. It wasn’t.
It was decline...avoidable decline.

Balance isn’t something the young are gifted.
It’s something the active maintain.
And guess what? You can earn it back.
But not by being careful.
By being intentional.
By getting up.
Moving.
Challenging yourself.

If you’re afraid of falling, do something about it.
Train. Get stronger. Get steadier.
Because “just being careful” is exactly how people become fragile.

You’re not fragile. You’re deconditioned.
And that can change if you stop treating age like a diagnosis.

💡 Did you know that in our legs we have a “second heart”?
No, it's not a legend: it's the nickname given to calf muscles, and the reason is really fascinating!

💪🩸 When we walk, climb the stairs or simply stand up, these muscles contract and act like a real natural pump, pushing blood upwards against the force of gravity, in the direction of the heart.

🔁 This mechanism is essential for:
✔️ Promote venous circulation
✔️ Prevent blood clots in the legs
✔️ Reduce swelling, feeling of heaviness and varicose veins
✔️ Reduce the risk of deep venous thrombosis

🛡️ All of this thanks to the synergistic work of muscles and venous valves, which prevent the blood from going back.

👉 Here’s why sitting or standing for too long can be harmful, while regular movement — even with a simple walk — helps the circulatory system function better.

🚶‍♀️💓 In practice: every step you take is a gift to your heart.
Walking, moving, stretching... These are simple gestures, but fundamental to health.

❤️ Don’t forget: taking care of your legs means taking care of your heart.

Our connective tissue not only has great tensile strength, but it has electrical properties that are often ignored or not well understood. The collagen in our connective tissues has properties that include piezoelectricity, the ability to generate electrical currents when deformed. This means that every time we move any part of our body, we are creating tiny electrical currents.
