HRV Therapy (Heart Rate Variability)

Struggling to understand and decrease your stress, tiredness and pain? we can help.

Quick, non-invasive testing protocol

Measuring your Heart Rate Variability identifies the link between your stress, sleep, pain, mood and injury and uncover how your body responds to certain triggers. In a nutshell, HRV is a very accurate way to measure the overall health of your nervous system. Since the nervous system controls every function of the human body, improving its function is critical to optimizing overall health, vitality and performance. Tests are painless and only take 5 minutes. All you have to do is sit back while we run your heart rhythms through our advanced HRV system.

Nervous system overview and explanation of HRV values.


HRV TESTING BENEFITS

  • Exposes the link between STRESS, PAIN, MOOD and INJURIES

  • Identifes overuse injuries before they happen

  • Predicts training response (high or low intensity)

  • Determines your biological age

  • Quantifie your nervous system’s health and power

Anderson & Cattone P.T. downtown Seattle has integrated heart rate variability (HRV) technology to achieve a baseline of a client’s physical health. We also have the technology to improve it. This non-invasive procedure paints a picture of the body’s wellness and recovery capacity by gaining feedback from electrical activity of the heart through ECG. These objective metrics allow us to optimize your personalized plan of care.

why hrv?

The autonomic nervous system is divided into two branches: sympathetic and parasympathetic.

The sympathetic nervous system controls the body’s “fight or flight” response. So, when you’re facing a threat, the sympathetic nervous system tells your heart to speed up and beat faster. In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system (or “rest and digest” system) slows your heart rate down when you’re relaxed.

Heart rate variability is a measurement of how variable your heart rate is. It’s calculated by measuring the time between each beat of the heart. If a person’s autonomic nervous system is healthy, it should be able to switch between speeding up and slowing down the heart rate easily. This adaptability leads to a higher HRV. On the other hand, someone who is perpetually in a state of stress and anxiety has a low HRV — their body is at a constant, “fight or flight” heart rate in a more sympathetic state all the time. HRV can be also be negatively impacted by sickness, lack of sleep and overtraining.


⚡️ Improve your nervous system’s health in as little as 10-20 minutes using NeuFit Technology ⚡️

NeuFit Neubie electronic stimulation;ation technology can improve your HRV by interacting directly with your vagus nerve in as little as 10 minutes! By interacting directly with your vagus nerve, the “master reset” can help to reduce excess muscle tension, decrease inflammation, improve heart rate variability and even improve gastrointestinal function.

HRV software

HRV software quantifies the nervous system’s health in regulating autonomic and endocrine function in addition to psychosocial stress.
