David Villas, physiotherapist specialized in somatic-emotional therapy (body-mind), works at two centers in Barcelona: Cos i Ment center and Noguerón dental clinic. His clinical profile focuses on patients with anxiety, stress, trauma and chronic pain, addressed from polyvagal theory and neuroception.
He explains with scientific depth why NESA fits perfectly in his practice: in patients with anxiety, stress or trauma, neuroception — the ability to detect risk or safety — is miscalibrated, generating chronic defensive responses that perpetuate suffering. NESA acts as a recalibration portal, accelerating the therapeutic process and training the autonomic nervous system to progressively specialize in well-being instead of defense.
His reference question to patients sums it all up: “Do things that used to activate you now bother you less?” — and the answer, according to his experience, is always yes. He observes simultaneous improvements in sleep, anxiety, pain and spontaneous social interaction, with results that come earlier and last longer than with other therapies.
He especially recommends NESA to physiotherapists who want to open up to working with stress and anxiety, and to psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors who already work in mental health.
