Mental Participation

When our body hurts often times our first instinct is to massage it because the body needs massage by design.

Every night when we sleep the tissue connecting everything under the skin, known as fascia, creates spider web-like fibers encasing all it touches within the body as an efficient repair and protection mechanism when lived in connection with.

These fibers, if not massaged out (by movement or hands-on), will layer on top of it selves and become dense, slowly limiting the elasticity of all the tissue it encases.

When this limitation in elasticity puts pressure on lymph nodes, it slows all lymphatic fluid, which also relies on massage, as the lymph system lacks pumps like the cardiovascular system.

The slow or blocked lymphatic system limits the cleansing and replenishing of muscles as well as putting pressure on nerves; both of which will eventually cause pain.

The movement patterns we do every day become the way the fascia density patterns, creating our individual posturing that, if outside of optimum body mechanics, will slowly create trigger point networks under dense layers of tissue which are very emotionally and mentally connected.

Studies have found a trigger point is a muscle that has received too much Acetylcholine, the activation chemical, reached fatigue but was not cleansed of the acetylocholine or lactic acid, an energy reserve, and becomes bogged down slowly becoming paralyzed and creating a network by needing other muscles to do more work.

The typical muscles this happens to are smaller structural muscles you feel less pain in so they quickly become numb then with fascial build up our posturing will become in such a way as to protect those nerves.

hat do not involve moving in proper body mechanics and moving our whole body though it's range of motion which all in turn clears out all off of the "cobwebs",
