Whiplash is an impact or blow that causes your head to jerk forward or backward and can cause neck strain. The sudden force stretches and strains the muscles and tendons in your neck. Reduce your risk by ensuring the top of the head restraint in your vehicle is at least level with the top of your head. Position the head restraint so it’s as close to the back of your head as possible. Whiplash injuries respond well when assessed and treated by a physiotherapist. Prescribed exercise programs focused on stretching and strengthening are effective in managing these types of injuries.

In the metatarsal part of your foot (the ball of your foot), you have over 2,000 receptors, each designed to give biofeedback to your brain. This feedback system is your neurological system.

VoxxLife’s HPT technology is based on decades of research and improves that biofeedback so your brain can better achieve homeostasis. By improving homeostasis in the brain, you put your body’s “self-healing mechanism” in the best position to work on your overall wellness.
