Fascia as an Endocrine / Neuroendocrine Organ To understand why increasing numbers of doctors and scientists are touting fascia is the basis of pain and disease, you must understand it's neuroendocrine functions.
Isolated tensions and broken, disconnected sequencing on the left. Improved tensioning via slings and improved sequencing that respects the demands of gait and throwing mechanics on the right. Does your body transfer tension efficiently and disperse impact from one part to another? Or does it stop and deliver impact to you shoulders, knees, and low back?
If you'd like to learn how to move more efficiently as a human being for sport or life and have less pain, send me a message in the Colorado Springs area.

This is the difference between moving, and moving intentionally. My client josh shows up every week and puts in the work on his own time as well. His reward? Much less pain than he was previously experiencing, and much more integrated movement.
Things to look for in this video. - Increased thoracic rotation
- better reciprocation between left and right side of body
- improved weight transfer through movement
DM me for training!
Here is another great exercise that integrate your slings and respects ratios of movement between joints. You can still have sloppy understanding and poor ex*****on to negate the design, but the exercise itself is designed to respect human function at a deeper level.
You can't do a badly designed exercise "right" but you can do a well designed exercise poorly. How do you determine the good and the bad? Understand and study movements of the human body that set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. The sling mechanics and ratios between every joint in your body. We are bipedal; we walk and run on two legs, and we can throw objects at high velocity with great accuracy. If the exercise or movement in question isn't derivative of those functions and able to be adjsuted to respect the ratios of motion neccesary for those actions, it's not a good exercise and no amount of "good form" will be a remedy.
Every movement you do transfers tension across the rest of your body, even to the furthest point in one way or another. Are you being responsible with that knowledge or are you still training and reinforcing disconnect in your body?

Do you integrate or isolate?
Integration isn't just putting two disconnected exercises togsther like doing a lunge and holding a kettlebell overhead.
You have to break down the systems that are designed to work together, the sequencing, the biorhythms, the drivers, the timing, the ratios of motion etc. and replicate those functions. Otherwise you are training your body to function in isolation.
Some great insights via
Do you throw like a girl?..
Gender aside, the lack of coordination and dys-integration associated with poor throwing mechanics is an easy one to spot. ...
Why??..
Our muscles are all connected in a fascial web which, just like it sounds, links muscles into groups or chains that can transmit tension between them. This tension is what gives our bodies structure and position. If this tension is inadequate, other areas LITERALLY need to take up the slack. This can be expressed by ranges of motion dys-proportionate or excessive to one another, ie. Your trunk doesn't rotate so you over pronate your feet. Our bodies will hunt for tension as tension = stability. This buffer system is all well and good until things start to break down due to, and I hate this term, but overuse...
On impact, the forces on your body walking are double your body weight. 7x while running! Do you want that force transmitted throughout an entire system, or just your knees? Or hips? Or back?..
Nothing really happens in isolation.
INTEGRATE!!!
Learn how with training and shoot me a message if you want to learn more!
P.S. if you think tension can be created by a conscious muscle contraction just remember. You can't push a pulley @ Colorado Springs, Colorado
