I read about this analogy in regards to fascia. I hope it will be helpful
-
The skin on a mandarin/orange is "like" our skin
-
This is where I perform the bodywork moves with light touch
-
-
The white part under the orange skin is "like" the fascia under our skin
-
This is where the "signal" from the move is sent through
-
-
The fascia runs throughout the body and covers every organ, joint, muscle. It's literally everywhere.
-
The lighter the touch the better the signal
-
The signal goes to the brain and lets it know that an adjustment needs to happen in the body
-
Think about how a sound moves through water and can be heard for miles. These signals move through the fascia in a similar way.
