Attached below is an editorial by Thomas W. Findley, MD, PhD that summarizes much of the research growth that is taking place in Fascia Science. Dr. Findley is a clinician and a researcher and gives his perspective on where we are today and what we may learn.
This change from the classical concept that the body is a mechanical object, to a self-regulating organism should not be a surprise as we dive deeper into the interconnection of fascia and its intimate connection to the Central Nervous System. Current concepts in neurobiology primarily view the brain as a liquid system in which fluid dynamics of a multitude of liquid, and even gaseous neurotransmitters, have come to the forefront. This current concept is much different than the classical concept that the nervous system is organized like an old-fashioned telephone switchboard from the industrial age, as such a system would be incapable of representing finer and more complex processes such as "life energy", intuitive thoughts, rapid movement refinements, or human empathy... notice the AFS application.
In our FSTT model of treatment / conditioning, with appreciation of the self-regulating orgainism, we clearly see that we must switch our perspective from that of
"master-mechanical-technician"
to
"creative-humble-facilitator".
There is so much we can learn by simply anchoring to known natural principles and reminding ourselves that we are facilitators of a very complex organism. We must not to make the complex COMPLICATED, by thinking it's a "this-for-that" protocol.
Embrace your journey! You will always exude confidence if you follow natural principles.
Note on article below: Pay particular attention to the paragraph titled... What we have learned about fascia?....talk about change.
