Dizziness, headaches, vertigo — understanding the body as a pressurized system, and what that means for treatment.
Your body is pressurized — from the top of your head to your pelvis, in cavities that all work in relationship to each other. When those pressures shift, it can show up as dizziness, headaches, shoulder pain, sluggish digestion, or ringing in the ears. In this episode I walk through what the pressure system actually does, a few simple things you can do for it yourself, and where a skilled practitioner comes in.
This episode is for education and isn't medical advice.
