Debunked idea of fascial “release” (mechanical deformation of fascia)
Dismisses traditional explanations of thixotropy and piezoelectric-effect-mediated
adaptationFascial toughness
Concludes plastic fascial changes in response to moderate loading is “impossible to
conceive”

David Nesmith - Alexander Technique
Body mapping is the conscious correcting and refining of one’s schema to produce
efficient, graceful and coordinated movement
Body map is one’s self-representation in one’s own brain… if representation is
accurate, movement is goodIf our representation is faulty, movement
suffers. When our map is corrected, movement improves

Sensory Receptor ClassificationProprioception:
– is the kinesthetic sense that enables us to sense the relative position of the parts of the body, posture, balance, and motion.
– Located in Muscles, tendons, joints, internal ear
Exteroception:
– pertains to the stimuli that originates from outside the body
– Located at or near the body surface
Interoception:
– is defined as sensitivity to stimuli originating inside of the body.
–Interoceptors: Free nerve endings –Located in blood vessels, organs, and connective tissue (skin/Fascia)
“
26
Mechanoreception
Connective tissue and fascia are highly innervated
Often reported only to occur in muscles and joints
The fascial network possesses approximately 10 times the sensory receptors as compared to its muscular counterpart ( van der wall 2009)
Includes many types of receptors: – Golgi, Ruffini, Pacinian, Free nerve endings (Interoceptors)
Fascia considered more of a perceptual organ than a mechanical organ.

posture and movement.” -Feldenkrais

Sensory Receptor ClassificationProprioception:• The kinesthetic sense that enables us to sense the relative position of the
parts of the body, posture, balance, and motion. • Located in Muscles, tendons, joints, internal ear
Exteroception:• Pertains to the stimuli that originates from outside the body• Located at or near the body surface

• Interoceptors: Free nerve endings • Located in blood vessels, organs, and connective tissue (skin/Fascia)

46
Fascia as Interoreceptive Organ• Only a minority of the sensory nerve endings in MSK fascia are myelinated mechanoreceptors concerned with proprioception– Golgi Receptors, Paccini Corpuscles, or Ruffini
Endings. • 7 x more interoceptors than other mechanoreceptors • Higher concentration in hairy skin • Stimulation of these receptors result in activation of an
area of the brain (Insula) associated with pain relief and sense of well being
• 40% of these receptors are low threshold receptors which are responsive to light touch, – Painter’s Brush – Cotton Ball– Feather stroke

Pain - Feathering
SCAN + IDENTIFY + FEATHER STROKES + RIPPLE
1. SCAN tissues targeted within workout.
2. IDENTIFY areas of tenderness/tightness = TARGET TISSUE
3. SUPERFICIALLY FEATHER pressure on target tissue for 30 seconds to tolerance
4. ADDRESS tissues up/down stream to target tissue = RIPPLE
