The Health and Wellness Show -Dec 11 2015- Body Work: The Issues in Your Tissues

[dugdeep]

Today on the Health and Wellness Show we're looking into the topic of body work. Massage, rolfing, yoga, pilates, lomi lomi, fascia release, chiropractic - there are many different methods and modalities for physically working on our bodies and we'll be discussing many of these. We'll explore the concepts behind the work of Peter Levine, Alexander Lowen and others who look into the connection between emotions and trauma being "stored" in the tissues, how one's posture reflects one's internal state and how working on the body can benefit us physically, psychologically and emotionally.

Join us Fridays at 10am EST for SOTT Talk Radio's Health and Wellness Show. We'll also be featuring Zoya's Pet Health Segment.

Just last night, I was looking up professional training programs in Kinesis Miofascial Integration (Thomas Myer) and Bioenergetic Analysis (Alexander Lowen). I've been feeling tuat if the collapse maintains itself as a slow burn (although it always appears to be exponentially accelerating), investing my time to become competent in such an integrated body-psychotherapeutic technique could be the best adjunct to the Work and a STO lifestyle for me (being already involved as a yoga instructor).

I missed the first 15 minutes so I will just wait to listen to it on replay from the start, but I do want to thank you for looking into this topic, and wish you a great show!

I came across this 2 min video recently and having had 'issues with my tissues' it was interesting to hear that: They still aren't entirely sure how the knots come about and they don't - at least according to msm science - totally know how to treat it. For some conditions they eventualy recommend surgery which to me is just insane - like with chronic Trigeminal Neuralgia and the like.

Obviously on the forum we're aware that supplements (magnesium, potassium, iodine) are very helpful, as well as diet - and i can attest this wholeheartedly - but it still astounds me how much msm science has yet to 'prove' to itself.

I think he says: Knots aren't the same as pain after exercise, they're called myofascial trigger points and they're a mystery except they think it's due to chemicals that cause the muscle to contract (and freeze); massage helps some but "some studies say it doesn't do anything" (msm science..) also recommended is anaesthetics.. That studies aren't consistent because what one calls a knot the other doesn't. This may have implications in Fibromyalgia treatments. MRI's show V-shaped patterns - the knots - which prevents blood flow etc... << this, from experience, is true.

Muscle knots: more mysterious than you think!

Hosted by: Hank Green

I'm not so sure how mysterious it is since the video seems to provide a decent conclusion alas it seems there is a lot more research before they can be 'sure'. Plus, i doubt big pharma fancy suggesting massages over pill-popping.
