'Under pressure....using the Coregeous Ball against the sides of your neck is one of the easiest ways to promote vagal response. Gentle pressure using the skin rolling/ shearing technique not only helps release the highly overused neck muscles but induces the relaxation response by gently pressurizing the carotid artery (which supplies blood to the brain, face and neck) and its surrounding areas, feeding into the carotid sinus which is innervated by the vagus nerve. Try this technique for 3-5 minutes before bed or to first thing in the morning to begin your day. Always check with your personal medical professional before doing this or any exercise.
