In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I unpack the connection between heart rate, heart rate variability, and the autonomic nervous system and how these measures can give you real-time insight into your clients’ state of regulation.You’ll hear about what heart rate variability and respiratory sinus arrhythmia actually reflect, why vagal tone matters, and how to recognize when someone’s nervous system is stuck in a sympathetic “on” state versus a dorsal vagal “shut down.” I also share practical ways to assess and interpret these measures in session, from using a simple pulse oximeter to tracking changes over time. You’ll learn how to connect what you see in heart rate data with what you observe in body language, facial tone, and treatment response, so you can make more informed clinical decisions and better support your clients’ healing.Whether you’re working with athletes, complex pain cases, or anyone dealing with chronic stress, this episode will help you see heart rate as more than just a number but as a window into the nervous system and a guide for creating real, lasting change.Resources Mentioned In This Episode Episode 38: <a href='https://www.movementrev.com/podcast/accessing-the-parasympathetic-nervous-system-without-focusing-on-breath'>Accessing the Parasympathetic Nervous System without Focusing on Breath!</a> Episode 86: <a href='https://www.movementrev.com/podcast/decoding-the-nervous-system-for-health-pros'>Decoding The Nervous System For Health Pros</a> Exercise Video: <a href='https://youtu.be/iYZzTEHMpQ4'>The Basic Exercise from Stanley Rosenberg</a> Get the book <a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/1623170249?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmo0355-20&creativeASIN=1623170249&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2NMVM8JGOZ9C9&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_qv_asin'>Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve</a> by Stanley Rosenberg* Get the book <a href='https://shop.iahe.com/Product-List/Neural-Manipulation-Products/New-Approach-to-the-Vagus-Nerve-and-Autonomic-Nervous-System'>New Approach to the Vagus Nerve and Autonomic Nervous System </a>by Eric Marlien Get the <a href='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQ8WTC4?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmo0355-20&creativeASIN=B07PQ8WTC4&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.T84JPT6VQTR4&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_s_ofs_mixed_d_asin&th=1'>pulse oximeter that I use HERE*</a> Learn the <a href='https://www.movementrev.com/ltap-level-1-in-person-courses'>LTAP™ In-Person in one of my upcoming courses</a>*This link is an Amazon affiliate link, meaning I earn a commission from any qualifying purchases that you makeConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
