🌟HRV and all you need to know🌟

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of the time BETWEEN the beats of your heart, and a KEY indicator of your autonomic nervous system’s health, reflecting how well your body manages stress and recovery. It is a robust measure that may be a better cardiovascular predictor than heart rate, blood pressure and cholesterol. Not only does it give you an indication of your current general health status, but it can also predict future health issues.

HRV is proving to be a game-changer in the Physiotherapy field! It has a host of useful applications to assist us as therapists. HRV is accessible to most on their smart watches and if monitored correctly, can be utilised to optimise recovery, reduce stress and enhance performance during training.

One of these useful tools is HRV biofeedback training. This training utilizes specific breath-work exercises and has been shown to be effective in improving many conditions including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion, chronic pain, diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety disorders, depression and PTSD, to name just a few.

So are you ready to take control of your health? Let’s harness the power of HRV together!
