Greetings!,
The human link system...
presented a way for us to understand levers in our body.
When we couple this with our present understanding of what I call the movement system.
This includes the myofascial sling, anatomy trains, and kinetic chain of movement concepts from Vleming, Myers and Sharkey.
Our somatic nervous system
includes all the neurons with the muscles, skin and sense organs. This system lets us voluntarily control our muscular contractions outside of reflexes and allows us to sense our muscles - which we primarily feel positively, negatively or not at all.
Somatics exercises work with the brain and nervous system to regulate our feel and control. Hence we won't be left subject to reflex actions since we understand how they can both help and hurt us.
Since we work the entire movement system, the connections whether through a feel for the levers, myofascia or through muscles we sense and use allows us to build our building blocks and foundation to move well.
Somatics exercises help us set ourself up for successful movement which then allows us to confidently move about and exercise our body.
When people have pain that is neither seen with an mri or xrays, bodyworkers like myself often feel the strains, adhesions, and sticky or stiffness of the muscles and fascia.
Smaller nerves passing through the fascia can be trapped at the neuronal level.
So the inflammation or thickening of scar tissue can be set in place.
Over time, if there is neural or fascia tightness then the discomforts we experience can be evident to ourself in spite of tests which show nothing.
Can we change this ourself?
You betcha.
This week I'll be teaching some neural freeing movements that will benefit:
We'll play with movements which also free both the lower and upper back.
Since we're also dealing with chemicals we can self-create, these will help with:
- decreasing tension
- lessening stress in the targeted areas
- producing states of relaxation
- rewiring our nervous system
- and growing more brain cells through
the differentiation of freeing movements. Here's what someone J. from Colorado
said about last week's class.
"That was a great lesson! Never done that
sequence like that before, really beneficial ." S. from Canada said this about another class -
"I purchased the Friday class and I use it
whenever I feel a hitch in my gait. One thing that I have noticed is that each time I play the recording I pick up some new titbit that I have missed in earlier sessions. This is a great recording and it has been very useful for me. Thank you."
Please join me for the live class or get the replay.
Move Well,
