Your brain is processing slowly.
Your body is moving slowly.
Everything feels heavier.
Your limbs feel like they are filled with cement.
You want nothing more than to sit on the couch and do nothing, but after an hour… or two… or three… you feel just as lethargic.
These are often symptoms of a nervous system that is fatigued.
Your internal battery has less juice, so everything slows down in response.
While binge-watching shows feels like the most attractive thing when your body is like this, there is something that is way more effective at helping you bounce back to your fully-charged self.
Muscle Activation Techniques®.
Muscle Activation Techniques® is designed to figure out where your brain and muscles are not talking to each other and improve that communication.
When your brain and muscles don’t talk well, you have to use other muscles to compensate. Not only does this stress out your muscles and joints, over time it can also stress out your nervous system.
You are requiring your nervous system to constantly problem-solve for your underactive muscles at a much higher rate than normal, and this can be incredibly fatiguing, similar to how you feel if you are being pinged and dinged with questions and decisions all day.
However, with Muscle Activation Techniques®, these underactive and inhibited muscles can be reconnected to your brain, strengthening their communication and minimizing the need for your nervous system to have to compensate.
This helps your nervous system shift from a sympathetic fight or flight state to a parasympathetic rest and digest state.
As a result, your body is able to relax and your nervous system is able to reboot and recharge fully.
And, it happens faster than binge-watching your newest streaming obsession.
