Interesting!

“So what are manual therapists really doing?
So after all of this analysis, are we any closer to understanding what manual therapist are actually doing when they carry out their work? Can we answer two of Greg’s key questions, which are “by what means can your hands actually mold, shape or cause some change in fascia?” and “why can’t they do this in muscle, which is the far more responsive tissue to stress?”

“Well, as detailed above, we can see that Schleip proposes a model in which manual therapy or fascial manipulation involves stimulating intra-fascial mechanoreceptors, which then causes changes in the afferent input to the central nervous system, which in turn causes an reduction in the level of muscle activation of specific groups of motor units.”

So the answer to Greg’s two questions in the Schleip model would be that the hands are stimulating specific mechanoreceptors in the fascia, that cause afferent feedback to the brain, which then signals the muscles to release. The effect does not occur in muscle in the same way because the receptors are of different kinds in each tissue.”

“Of course, there remains a great deal of work to be done to understand the limitations and benefits of this model but it certainly helps to address many of the issues that Greg raised with the idea of the fascia being physically altered.”

Fascial NeuroBiology: An explanation for possible manual therapy treatment effects « Below is a guest post from Chris Beardsley in response to a recent post of mine that questioned the possibility of any manual intervention (this includes foam rolling) influencing the physical properties of fascia. It is also questioned how relevant is to pain and dysfunction.

✨I didn’t add the band today. I opted for form and function.
If you’re like me and have tight hip flexors, this will definitely take practice-patience and time.✨

✨Full disclosure- I’m shooting for a second round this evening with these glute techniques.
A band will be added and most likely some cursing. ✨

Life has gifted, through my professional life as a Massage Therapist, blessings, lessons, stories, inspiration and family.
The healing works both ways.
None of what life has put before me is taken for granted.

I’ve been Reading ‘s book ‘When Longing Becomes Your Lover’ and recently attended a discussion with Gabor Mate highlighting his most recent book ‘The Myth of Normal.’
Add podcasts with James Finley, Richard Rohr and Tolle … Studies on Fascial molding that LISTENS to your nervous system…
The first important relationship to this grand mystery is understanding our connection to it all.
Amanda inscribed in my book at her launch party “To Rene, Nurture the longing that nurtures you!”

Thomas Keating writes “God is in everything without being limited to anything.”

CAC “Shift out of the false self by stepping into deep awareness. Awaken senses of touch, feel, look, listen embrace awe…

God IS love. And loves us far greater than we could ever love.
Tough love as well. The love that guides us through wounds to help break patterns.
A soft love in the form of empathy-humility.
A infinite stable love with out conditions.

Rohr “Your wounds can lead to your wisdom, to your weird, to your work….. It’s not about getting rid of it ( wound) instead it keeps us humbly wounded-transforming. Healing which leads us to our UNIQUE wisdom-This work never stops.
