What I actually said was “please tear to shreds”. I meant think about what I say, pick apart bit by bit. There’s several threads to pick at. Some real consideration of the anatomical facts I present and how the body is put together. Pointing out any errors.
Generally, muscles don’t determine posture but fascia do. Using muscles to hold posture is unnecessary waste of energy and adds tension to the body. When bad posture gets fascia to stick together via fibrin the factors that are involved in getting it unstuck in more complex then “you have to have strong muscles” or even acting from those muscles.
That doesn’t mean that muscles aren’t important but “I have a theory that explains everything while completely ignoring the state of the art” just doesn’t give you a complete picture.
Muscles move bones. Muscles do determine posture, along with connective tissues. I did edit my “posture post” after you’d read it. Originally I’d not mentioned the condition of connective tissues affecting posture (a glaring omission!). I find “fascia” too restricting as a term, I’m sticking with connective tissues.
Muscles alter positioning/posture in an active manner.
The condition of connective tissues affects posture in a more passive manner.
factors that are involved in getting it unstuck in more complex
Could you provide details about these factors? This is the stuff I’m looking for.
The anatomy is as near to “fact” as it gets but “restrictions in connective tissues” is my weak spot. I don’t have any specific histological results or evidence past my experience and reasoning based on available knowledge. (What I’ve seen incidentally in various studies over the years does fit with “sticky connective tissues”—inflammation’s a bitch)
I’ve felt the restrictions, heard them, seen them as I’ve moved and released tissues, regaining a little more movement each time. Something is giving, releasing. Connective tissues/ECM is the only tissue it could be (other suggestions welcome). Body wide releases. I can feel my myofascial meridians, where the lines of tension are. I can ‘see’ them when I close my eyes and focus on how my body is moving—proprioceptive feedback from my body giving me a visual representation of the state of my body in lights and colours, flashes and streams.
I’m not saying you have to have strong muscles, I’m saying you have to use the right muscles.
