Life is in the blood

Health is an important thing for all of us and every cell must be getting the correct nutrients to be able to function at its maximum. Just like when we are ordering something online we depend on a sufficient delivery service to get the item to our front door. Without this service we don’t get what we want. In the body the food we eat is our ‘online order’, however it can only truly be utilised correctly when it enters the cells. In the stomach it is useless, in the -intestines it is useless, even in the blood it is useless.

Only when it reaches the cells and enters the cells can it be utilised to produce energy. So no matter what we eat, whether it is healthy or organic is only as good as the delivery Blood flow - your delivery service system we have in the body and that system is the circulatory system. All blood vessels in the body are controlled by what is called the Sympathetic Nervous System. This nervous system piggy backs on the blood vessels supplying the muscles of the blood vessel walls with nerve supply to maintain their tone. This tone is vital to move the blood through the vessels at a rate required to deliver nutrients and oxygen around the body depending on demand. Any fault in this nervous system will alter the rate of blood flow and thus slow the delivery of nutrients to the cells, resulting in slower function and loss of energy. At Nerang Physiotherapy we are one of few practices to assess and treat the Sympathetic Nervous System to ensure you have optimum blood flow rate and cellular support.
