Are you frustrated with temporary results? You may have tried exercises, supplements, stretching, and different forms of bodywork to no avail. Nothing seems to last. Could it be powerful Myofascial restrictions and/or its subconscious bracing patterns that are what is blocking your pain free movement and expression of life?
For more information about how your powerful subconscious buried within the myofascial system may be inhibiting your efforts to improve, read my new article in the techniques section of the Massage Magazine website.

Much is written about the ‘fight/flight response’ and its impact upon our neuroendocrine system, however the ‘freeze response’ seems to be completely ignored by the vast majority of therapists and other medical practitioners. When this natural response to an overwhelming traumatic event occurs as the instinctual optimal act of survival…and we survive the traumatic event, discharge of this enormous surge of energy within our system is paramount to release the trauma and free our systems to restore homeostasis. Seems this is beginning to become recognized in various therapies, especially bodywork/somatic type approaches. John, your Myofascial Release Approach appears to be one of the few which recognizes how this holding can create tremendous tensions within the entire body. Using Myofascial Release to ease into areas where that instinctual freeze response has become woven into the very tapestry of the entire human form, thus recreating enormous dysfunction…and allowing for discharge of energy as it naturally needs to express itself… is remarkable!
It moves the therapist/patient from the limitations of considering how trauma not only impacts upon the nervous system and allows access to profound healing of the subconscious mind as it shapes and holds our very form.
