Nervous System Reset

Jessica Maguire, a physiotherapist specializing in nervous-system repair, draws on polyvagal theory and her own clinical experience to explain how the vagus nerve governs the body's balance between stress and calm. The book covers how chronic stress and trauma impair vagal function, contributing to anxiety, chronic pain, burnout, depression, IBS, and other stress-related conditions.

Rather than abstract theory alone, Maguire provides a practical program of neural exercises, breathwork, and somatic practices designed to help readers recognize their own nervous-system patterns and gradually widen their capacity to handle stress without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.
