The living Matrix
Fascia: Understanding the Living Matrix of the Body
Fascia is the connector of all the body’s functional systems integrating the whole, implicated in communication, proprioception and regulation of tension, Bio Tensegrity. This responsive network of connective tissue is an expressive organ, involving bio mechanical , biomagnetism, neural and sensory functions which envelopes, separates and integrates. Emerging research suggests that fascia supports piezoelectric conduction and vibratory coherence through the alignment of electromagnetism, structured water and collagen. Fascia works parallel with the lymphatic system, nervous system and circulatory system. As a sensory organ (somatically) fascia is a living record of experiences. When we look at the development of repetitive connective fibrils from the extracellular matrix and ground substance, we understand that, the undifferentiated cells develop into potential parts, superficial, visceral, deep and parietal, where there is no beginning nor end, but rather a continuum of tissue development, a geometric fractal patterning of the continuous whole, Holism.
The components of fascia include:
*A variety of cells, some newly discovered, confirming a body wide signaling system.
* Fiber proteins, such as Collagen ( the most abundant protein), Elastin and Reticulin.
* Ground Substance(the fluid part of fascia) such as Glucosaminglycans, Hyaloronan, and Growth factors (signaling molecules).
* Structured water
The Fascia has essential roles in:
* Structural integrity
* support and protection
* mechanical tension, compression and movement
* cellular substrate transmission, vibrational, electronic, photonic and cellular
* Hydration and Viscoelasticity
* relational , sensorial qualities- memory
Let’s look at development embryologically for a moment. Our genetic code consists of codons, a sequence of 3 nucleotides in DNA, RNA , that correspond to specific amino acids. A codon instructs the cell to start the creation of a protein chain. One cell becomes two through polarization.This division takes place through a formation of a tube (a repetitive Core process) organizing into structure. In early embryological development of a fetus there are 3 germ layers, the primary layer of cells:
*The Ectoderm, which gives rise to the brain , nervous system and superficial epidermis.
* The Endodermis, which gives rise to the digestive systems and glands.
*The Mesodermal, which gives rise to the muscle, bone, blood, urogenital tissue system and Connective Tissue in general.
Developing from undifferentiated cells into differentiated cells, for example, early muscles cells arise from within the connective tissue into mature muscle development, stimulated by the tension within the connective tissue, which permeates throughout developing organs and structures, rather than wrapping around or attaching to, there is a continuing sheath. This sheath has different concentrations of connective tissue. Continued fascia development in utero determines patterns, environmental, mental, emotional, along with the trauma of birth. We continue to develop through our intrinsic core nature, through movement and sensorially interpreting, the gravity of our life’s experiences. The fascia remembers. In trauma-informed bodywork and psychotherapeutic touch modalities, fascia is not experienced as inert tissue but as a responsive, adaptive medium.
Benefits of receiving Specialized Therapeutic Fascia applications are:
* Structural alignment
* Joint mobility
* Pain reduction
* Scar reduction
* Unwinding restrictions, adhesions and congestion
* Fascial hydration
* Somatic restoration- mental emotional and memory harmonizing
* Integration of the whole being
* Affecting Everything…..
The living matrix, fascia, is a physical fabric permeating all the great systems of the body, our architecture and our story. Fascia is more than the sum of its parts, it is a living record of our experiences. Gravity is a force that binds everything together, and we participate in it with movement. Fundamentally we “move” through life! Our Fractal Fascial expansional balance, is omnidirectional, capable of transmitting and receiving signals in all directions. Through skilled touch and applications, the presence of energy resonance and safety, along with guidance through breath awareness, the Fascia can reorganize, rehydrate and reanimate coherently. Integrating the objective and subjective qualities of the living Matrix, affects the whole being, Body- Mind-Memory.
Experience optimal alignment and transformation through Specialized Fascia bodywork!
Whatever your physical health project, Somatic plateau ,or overall wellness goal, it took a moment to become dis harmonized and takes a “moment” to re harmonize. The importance of consistency and commitment within a time frame, is essential for longer lasting results and transformative effects. Additional self care suggestions will be provided to enhance your process.
To inspire you choosing to initiate your health and wellness path…..
We have put together 3 introductory series session packages that work for “most”, to get started.
A cost effective option to provide efficiency within the appropriate time required.
* A series of 3 sessions within 4 weeks-
* A series of 6 sessions within 2 Months-
* A series of 9 sessions within 3 Months-
Upon initial session consultation, the most suited series will be suggested.
This series will be prepaid and completed within the time frame allotted for optimal results.
