Psychoneuroimmunology & vacation
Why many people collapse on vacation - and how you can prevent this from happening in the first place
Do you know this? You work for weeks on end, pushing aside tiredness and tension - and as soon as your vacation begins, you become ill, listless or irritable. This is not a personal failure, but a neuroimmunological pattern that has become deeply ingrained in your body. Constant stress is considered a biological state of emergency. In everyday life, many people go unnoticed in an internal high-tension mode. In this context, doctors speak of a sympathicotonic state - i.e. a dominance of the sympathetic nervous system, the part of your autonomic nervous system that is responsible for "flight or fight".
Recovery begins in the nervous system
Do you know this? You work for weeks on end, pushing aside tiredness and tension - and as soon as your vacation begins, you become ill, listless or irritable. This is not a personal failure, but a neuroimmunological pattern that has become deeply ingrained in your body. Constant stress is considered a biological state of emergency. In everyday life, many people go unnoticed in an internal high-tension mode. In this context, doctors speak of a sympathicotonic state - i.e. a dominance of the sympathetic nervous system, the part of your autonomic nervous system that is responsible for "flight or fight".
Typical symptoms of this permanent activation are
an increased release of stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline
Tense muscles, especially in the neck, back and jaw
shallower breathing and increased pulse rate
Reduced digestive capacity
Restricted cell regeneration
Sleep problems, irritability and exhaustion
As long as you are in functional mode, the body blocks out many of these alarm signals. But as soon as the external pressure is removed - on vacation, for example - your system switches over. Then what has long been suppressed becomes visible: tiredness, inflammation, back pain, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines or emotional exhaustion.
The aim of therapy: balance instead of constant tension
The central aim of every neuroimmunological treatment is to bring you back to a balanced state between tension and regeneration.
With our METAVITAL system, we analyze, among other things:
the autonomic nervous system
the stress axes and the regulation of neurotransmitters
Muscular tension conditions and trigger zones
the microcirculation and cell supply
The goal is not just short-term relaxation - but a profound reorganization of your inner balance. We strengthen your ability to react flexibly to stress and allow for regeneration at the same time.
Cross-sectional images as a guide to regeneration
At the heart of the treatment are the individual cross-sectional images of your body. Depending on the findings, we select the areas that are out of balance - for example:
the microcirculation and cell supply
the brain and emotional control centers (e.g. in case of sleep problems or overstimulation)
the muscle section images to recognize chronic tension
the muscle section images to recognize chronic tension
Balancing frequencies - how tissue "remembers" healing
In the subsequent balancing process, we use targeted frequency pulses that are tuned to the measured deviations. This is not simply "superimposed", but a resonance field is created that corresponds to the healthy state. The affected structure should "remember", so to speak, how it would vibrate in its optimal state - and orient itself back there with each application.
Important: There should be at least 72 hours between two balancing sessions so that the tissue can react to the impulse and implement it sustainably. This allows you to take your time - and yet systematically - on the various sections:
Optimize the fabric types
downregulate the stress axes
stabilize the hormone axes
and lead the entire body back to its natural self-regulation.
The goal is not just short-term relaxation - but a profound reorganization of your inner balance. We strengthen your ability to react flexibly to stress and allow for regeneration at the same time.
The best time: two to three weeks before your vacation
This targeted preparation is particularly effective if you start about two to three weeks before your vacation. This way, your body doesn't just switch to "emergency stop" in the first week of your vacation, but is already in the process of adapting - and can finally really recharge its batteries on vacation. Because real relaxation doesn't start on the beach - it starts in the nervous system. And the first steps towards this start with the right impulse.
