The vagus nerve is one of the body’s primary communication pathways.
It carries information about what’s happening in the body up to the brain — and sends signals from the brain back to many of our vital organs.
This constant feedback helps the body maintain homeostasis across systems like the heart, lungs and digestive organs.
Research also suggests the vagus nerve plays an important role in how the body responds to stress and inflammation.
Bowen Therapists work with an awareness of these communication systems, recognising that the body is always gathering information and adjusting in response.
Because the body isn’t just a collection of parts.
It’s an ongoing conversation.
