Samuel Minkin is a Musculoskeletal therapist and Photobiomodulation practitioner. He works primarily with the Musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and is one of only a handful of specialists in Australia that works directly on the Vagus Nerve. We discuss chronic pain, fight-or-flight, the vagus nerve’s role in calming the body, Vagus Nerve techniques and therapy, mindfulness and how it relates to the vagus nerve, burnout, long-term damage from stress, and stress-reduction.
