The vagus nerve is one of the most important nerves in your body. It helps regulate heart rate, digestion, breathing, and your ability to shift into a calm, restorative state.
When the vagus nerve is supported, your body can better transition out of stress mode. When itโs overloaded, you may notice symptoms like muscle tension, shallow breathing, digestive issues, or feeling constantly โon edge.โ
Massage therapy may help stimulate vagal tone by:
โข Encouraging deeper breathing
โข Reducing neck and upper chest tension
โข Improving circulation
โข Supporting nervous system regulation
While massage isnโt a cure-all, it can be a powerful tool for helping your body reset and recover.
If youโve been feeling wired, tense, or fatigued, your nervous system may need support.
