29/1/2026 0 Comments Beyond "Wired but Tired": Why Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Infrared Heat are the New Frontier for Recovery from ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Long COVID, and Burnout The Invisible Epidemic For years, the chronic illness community (oh hi! in case anyone's new to me and my work - I've been living with chronic illness for approximately the last sixteen years, so as well as supporting the community, I'm also part of it) - especially those living with ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and POTS - has been told to "just rest" or "manage stress." But as we move into 2026, the global conversation around post-viral recovery and Long COVID has shifted. We now know that these conditions aren't just in the mind; they are rooted in a "locked" state of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).

Massage therapy is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and improve overall wellbeing. Today, massage therapy is a widely accepted form of complementary and alternative medicine, with many different techniques and approaches available to suit the needs of individual clients. The Polyvagal Theory provides a unique perspective on massage therapy, highlighting the importance of the nervous system and how it can be regulated to promote healing and connection.
The Polyvagal Theory proposes that the nervous system has three distinct states: the ventral vagal state, the sympathetic state, and the dorsal vagal state. Each state is associated with a specific set of physiological responses and behavioural outcomes. For massage therapists, understanding these different states is crucial for creating a safe and healing space for their clients. |
