Quick stop at Baños🇪🇨

Love my guy ❤️

Biggest focus while upside down; keeping the natural curvature of my spine while I reach at my end range of should flexion. A big indicator of limited range of the shoulders will always show up with excess flexion around the lumbar area of the spine. Keep those shoulders open. 🥷

Really am trying to be a greaser....👨🏽‍🎤

Been a while, but can’t lose what is ingrained. 🤓

Life is good. No need to complicate it. Just enjoy while it lasts. 🙏🏻❤️ 🎥 :

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

Static stretching is a passive form of tool, but completely contradicts your human physiology! Your dysfunctions are not a result of “passive” occurrences. Dysfunctions are developed by ACTIVELY placing your body in environments and stressors that do not respect your neuromuscular skeletal system. Meaning, your cannot stretch your way out of something, that you ACTIVELY wired your nervous system into. It simply does not work that way. You must look at your entire body as a tensegrity structure; meaning everything is interlaced and connected together. Even the slightest imbalance between the length-tension relationship between agonist and antagonist, will cause your entire structure to compensate to keep you erect in the most “efficient” way. When muscle imbalance is present, your joints will move from their optimal alignment, from muscles firing in all the wrong patterns and firing in all the wrong directions. The brain senses instability and creates compression in attempt to stabilize your joints! A perfect example: over stimulated hip flexors, will cause your pelvis to over anterior rotate, then cause your transverse abdominis to eccentrically lengthen, then cause your lower back to over extend. And this is just a small idea of how ingenious the human body is. Your body’s response to instability, is to immediately lock up. That means muscles lock up concentrically(short) and eccentrically(long). Even if a muscle may be elongated, you may still sense muscle ache. The only way to balance the body is by ACTIVELY training the nervous system to reflex and soften. Muscle can only do two things. Engage and disengage. Much more to share with you all. Stay safe and train smart.

!!WHY YOUR BODY DOES NOT AGREE WITH STATIC STRETCHING!!

Before we get into this highly controversial topic, we must look into the context of what we are analyzing. When it comes to healing any type of postural or neuromuscular dysfunction of any kind, there are numerous tools and methods that all effect the results we are aiming for. Static stretching, being one that is highly over used and over dependent on. While static stretching does hold its place given the circumstance and or time. So let’s discuss what static stretching does and does not.

WHAT IT DOES ASSIST IN
Static stretching is a passive approach to relieving pain; meaning the muscle is not being contracted whilst being stretched.
Static stretching helps relief excess tension from over stimulated muscle groups(tho dysfunction occurs throughout the entire kinetic chain of the body). Static stretching helps stimulate the Golgi tendons which are located at the tendons of each muscle groups, where they “attach” to thus bones. By stimulating the Golgi tendon, we are able to relax the muscle spindles that are interwoven in the fibers of muscles. The muscle spindles are sensory receptors that sense when a muscle is being overstretch to its capacity or when a muscle is being rapidly stretched. Basically, these sensory receptors prohibit you from tearing your muscles from their insertion point. Static stretching TEMPORARILY gives your extra Range Of Motion yo any joint that we are trying to stabilize, mobilize, and neurological engage.

One of nature’s perfect design. Such beauty and intelligence. Resilient enough to withstand gravitational force and daily tasks. Able to withstand tremendous stress and injury. A self regulating organism that heals by itself. Even when in a dysfunctional state, it still is able to maintain its self erect under the circumstances. Even the way it reacts to trauma and stress is pure intelligence. Every cell in your body wants to live and evolve. Your body wants you to live in a strong, powerful, healthy vessel. The only problem is; your the only one that is getting in the way. Your body was designed to last your entire life span. But we have somewhat managed to burn right through our ligaments, tendons, cartilage, joints. How? Our body is always screaming at what needs attention, but we have trained our minds to push away. Your body is a intelligent organism, it doesn’t need more reps, weight, stretching, etc more! It’s never more. It’s less. Less ignoring the sign of dysfunction. Less sacrificing function over looks. Less habitual patterns that got you here in the first place. Less blowing off your self care. Your body has a design, a blueprint. Once we honor this blueprint. Our body will rewards us with; abundance. Abundance in a body that can move easily and gently into any position. It’s not easy, but it’s also not impossible. What will it require? Sacrifice. Are you willing? Or are you just interested? Interested is not commitment. Commitment is saying enough! I’m done living in pain! I will no longer do this to my body! This takes commitment. This takes a complete shift in your lifestyle. This is a never ending process that has no end. This is self love! Show your body love and attention! Telling yourself that you love yourself is not enough! That is just another excuse! If you really loved your body, you would not let it be the way it is! Self love is commitment and discipline. It’s saying I forgive myself for getting here, thank you for taking care of me, what do I need to do to change.

If you are someone that is struggling with chronic pain, please do not hesitate and seek help! Staying in pain, and “staying strong” is not strength. It’s fear.

SWIPE LEFT!!👈🏻👈🏻

Spine decompression progression! A friend has structural scoliosis and and we managed to find a new resting position after one session!

First Picture

His hips are in a anterior posting meaning that they are tilted forward. He has about 18 degrees of pelvic tilt. To compensate for the pelvis, the spine is placed under an excess lumbar hyper lordosis. To compensate for the lordosis, the thoracic spine sways backwards away from the midline and falls into a hyper kyphosis. Thus forcing the shoulders to internal rotate and the shoulder blades to protract.
The head now is placed under a protracted and extended position. Meaning the head is in flexion and extension at the same time. It appears that his joints are in line, but it’s the body’s intelligent response to compensation.

Second Picture

His pelvis are now in a neutral position and his hyper lordosis has reduced a significant amount. His abdominals are now in relation with his hips and ribs. Decompression his spine allows his to sit up taller and reduce the curvature and his neck and thoracic spine. His head now is a optimal position, yet as you can see, his head is still in a forward position. His head appeared to be in line, but it was just due to the compensation in his mid back.

Take note that this was only after one hour session. Improvements are only guaranteed if you put in the work.

@ New Haven, Connecticut

Are you constantly living in pain and feel lost within your own power to change? Do you consistently have to shape your life around your pain to risk not getting hurt? Do you find yourself always promising to change, but never actually commit? Are you not showing up the way you desire yourself to be? These are all conditioning that we as humans tend to over identify as part of our identity. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CONDITIONS. What ever you may have been told, everything can be managed or completely reversed. You only need the burning desire and commitment in order to.

I am looking for individuals that are willing to be 100 PERCENT committed in transforming their body and life! Individuals that are tired of living in their own loop and pain. Allow my to be your coach and guide into a stronger, powerful, radiant you!!❤️
