For many years he led a school in Denmark, teaching structural integration, myofascial release, release of scar tissue, biomechanical craniosacral therapy, visceral massage, and biotensegrity. He is the author of four books, published in Denmark: Nevermore Pain in the I really liked the separation of post-traumatic stress from post-traumatic shutdown and think this could be incredibly useful for treatment and understanding of how PTSD functions. I also really like the idea of an assessment of nervous system function becoming a routine part of doctor's appointments and medical practice. That would be amazing! I'm also curious about the exercises presented at the end and will be trying them out.

Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve by Stanley

Rosenberg makes many generalisations, and some spurious conjecture. For example, whilst listing symptoms of depression, “people with a diagnosis of depression... are often plagued by the aches and pains of fibromyalgia”. Are they though? 🧐 reading Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism full book Ehkä yksi odottamattomimmista havainnoistani kehoterapiassa on ollut se, että olen löytänyt jännitystä oikeassa päännyökkääjälihaksessa - ja sen mukana kallon epämuodostuman, lättänän takaraivon tai plagiokefalian - jokaisella ADHD- tai autismikirjon diagnoosin saaneella asiakkaalla. [...] tämä kallon epämuodostuma ei rajoitu lapsiin. Näen sitä myös monilla aikuisilla, joilla on ollut vaikeuksia sosiaalisessa liittymisessä. [...] Monet vanhemmat tulevat luokseni, koska tietävät jo, että heidän lapsensa takaraivo on lättänä. Jos vanhemmat eivät vielä tiedä, näytän heille, miten tunnustella lapsen pään muotoa ja huomata asymmetria, ennen kuin aloittamme hoidon. Toisen puolen päännyökkääjälihaksen rentouttaminen johtaa yleensä selvään parannukseen lapsen pään muodossa vain muutamassa minuutissa."

Following a detailed explanation of the cranial nerves, the polyvagal theory, and how craniosacral therapy can assist with restoring proper neuroception, Rosenberg provides self-help exercises to test ventral vagal function and to improve the function of the cranial nerves. Validity in what the author suggests in the book would be the following: If an individual passes the uvula test, then he/she should not have any of the chronic problems the author lists (e.g., my son’s autism is therefore cured) because the ventral vagus is active. As other reviewers have stated, this book was dry, boring, deeply ableist, and made many oversimplifications and generalizations. It is painfully, and I mean painfully repetitive. The first 50% of the book could have easily been cut in half. It often seemed as if each chapter was written to stand alone, often full sentences were repeated from one chapter to the next.

Furthermore, how do we know what Stanley Rosenberg means when he repeatedly states that the client improved after performing the Basic Exercise? He does not quantify the improvement beyond his observation of change. Can the vagus nerve test be quantified? Can the uvula lift be graded like other muscle tests: 0 to 5 out of 5)? This author does an excellent job of describing the Polyvagal Theory for manual therapists. If you are not a manual therapist, you may still see some benefit from reading this book. The author describes the polyvagal theory thoroughly and explains some ways of improving your autonomic state from stress or dorsal vagal to social engagement.
