Applying fascia,P.N.F stretching and breathing exercises for results...

COOL CLINICAL TESTING AND RESULTS! Applying fascia,P.N.F stretching and breathing exercises for results...

It's been a grueling summer for me with so many classes I had to study. I studied holistic nutrition & postural restoration using modern techniques and osteopathic techniques. One of the good parts of taking so many classes, is the aftermath that comes after expanding your mind to a new way of thinking. I was once told by a good friend and mentor (Bob McAtee) that I was a good synthesizer! Cool, i do love testing out knowledge.

To be honest the best part of taking classes is trying the knowledge out on yourself and see the result through many applications. So for this article,I will focus on the little discovery that was made these last few months. Since most of my studies was done on working on different aspects of posturology, one of my clinical testing was on flexibility using the different types of postural restoration.

So here was my hypothesis... if using diaphragmatic release on the anterior interior chain of the body and modern posturology restores full flexibility to the body, How long would it take for fascia and muscles to get tight doing repetitive patterns of one's preferred muscles example:pectorals.

THE RESULTS: Postural muscles got tight very fast and needed some inhibition. Bob McAtee's "facilitated stretching" came very handy! As for stretching fascia line using Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers, that took a couple of months before I started feeling it in my joints mostly my elbows.

So here is the game plan if you want to incorporate all these techniques together. Diaphragmatic work and modern posturology should be maintained on a daily basis with the help of facilitated stretching to make sure that compensatory patterns (tonic muscles) are inhibited. Fascia release and yoga can be incorporated 1-2 week as needed on off days.
