Myostretching is...
A Neuromuscular Reeducation Program. It is a specialized technique of small muscle movements that target the fascia system of the body. It incorporates slow, small, gentle movements with the resistance of gravity.
Myostretching is designed to...
Reverse the cycle of pain by increasing tissue flexibility, building endurance, developing muscle strength and allowing the body to move freely. When all of these combine, the body will have less fatigue and less pain.... which turns off the negative loop of the pain cycle and turns on the positive feedback reactions so the body will continue to become balanced and free to move again.
Myostretching reverses the cycle of pain...
Myostretching facilitates the relaxation of the deep fascial system, which influences and helps regulate all systems of the body. The fascia intertwines and helps to coordinate all systems of the body to work together as a team. Once the fascial system is activated, coordinated and more flexible, the body will decrease the release of various pain signaling chemicals which, in turn, will continue to decrease overall pain and fatigue.
Myostretching is unique...
FIRST: Myostretching enters the "Cycle of Pain" between the "pain" and "flexibility" phases of the recovery process. Why is this different? Most exercise or rehab programs start between the "endurance" and "strength" phases to help influence recovery. Myostretching initiates tissue healing and the relaxation process before activating the endurance and strength phases of recovery.
SECOND: Myostretching can be incorporated into any other exercise or rehab program. Myostretching is done first thing each morning... BEFORE you do any other activities (see 'THE WAVE' section for more explanation) for the day. You will not be doubling your exercise time, just enhancing it.
THIRD: Each person in unique. Everyone has different areas of tension and restrictions, even when they seem to be exactly the same as someone else. Fascia has its own unique patterns and it cannot be predicted in what ways it is twisted or tight. NO WORRIES! Myostretching is a progressive movement program which means you progress as you determine is right for you. Depending on your condition and abilities, you may start this program with moving --one body part-- one time--for 1 week... and then increase to either 2 body parts or 2 reps. The choice is yours! You continue the process until you reach your desired physical comfort zone or activity level.
Myostretching
A Movement Program
Gentle and slow movements that help generate change.
Personalized Progression
You progress through the 4 phases at your own pace. Each phase helps guide you through the process of improving movement while reducing chronic pain.
No special equipment, just you and gravity.
Look at the wave patterns to your right.
What wave pattern do you think you are on the scale in regards to your pain, fatigue, strength, endurance, flare-ups or life restrictions?
Which one looks like the pattern you would LIKE to be in?
I will give you a hint... the RED! Why?
The RED line indicates a consistent balance. Everyone has a pattern. Each one of us has our own life issues with aches, pains, restrictions and health.
The key to a happy life is a balanced pattern.
The RED line indicates the goal of Myostretching for your body. It represents a calm, predictable pattern of good days and slow days.
Myostretching does not "cure" any disease or disorder. It's main purpose is to reduce fascial restrictions. Second, to re-educate the neuromuscular system to reduce tension on nerve endings, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, muscles and numerous other anatomy tissues which play a role in the bodies ability to function in an optimal manner.
Can you guess which line represents the chaos, disorganization and increasing chronic pain?
Can you guess which line represents daily or weekly flare-ups?
The Purple... This represents a life of pain and unhappiness. Never knowing what the next day will bring to you and your plans. STOP THIS LEVEL OF LIVING!
Myostretching will flatten the curve, create a more consistent pattern of wellness, decrease the intensity and frequency of flare-ups, improve sleep patterns, increase mid-day energy peaks and reduce overall tension within your body.
The only thing you have to do is to commit to is a daily program that takes less than 10 minutes.
No special diets... No special herbs... No aerobic exercise!
