The stretch

Flexibility determines life span
So say Chinese martial arts and medicine

Mobility relies on muscle strength
And the elasticity of tissue that connects
Muscle to bone

Stretching the web (fascia) that covers all
Bone, tendon, ligament, muscle organ

The stretch brings fresh blood and lymph
Clearing toxins and prompting healing

It keeps us young and mobile
Everything in balance: strength and flexibility

Are you in the home stretch?

Body as healer

1/13/2022

Sometimes when we are injured our body makes a cast using our living tissue.

Our wise body glues things together to keep them from moving and causing further harm.

A living cast.

Similar to the body creating a fever to kill germs invading, this cast has a purpose and a duration.

I can break through the body's defense and restore mobility.

But what if the injury has not yet had time to heal yet?

Restoring mobility prematurely may re-injure the body or at least keep it from healing thoroughly.

There is a timing to all things. A living cast can become permanent and a fever can become so high the brain bakes. Sometimes interventions are needed. The delicate task requiring wisdom and skill is to gauge the timing correctly.  Let the body do what it does best. Step in rarely with a small tweak. Best to fix small things  consistently to keep things even within the body.
