Gigi expanded her expertise in injury and pain treatment in 2011 by exploring the nuanced interactions between the brain, autonomic nervous system (ANS), and pain. Through her studies of Polyvagal Theory, Vagus Nerve, trauma-informed manual therapies, neurobiology, and neuroscience she gained a deeper understanding of the ANS's impact on overall health. By recognizing the ANS's role in sending safety signals and facilitating resilient interactions internally and externally, Gigi effectively addresses key components to underlying causes of chronic pain.
