A Grounded Approach to Body Awareness?
Просмотров 1212 месяца назад
Suppose that you are trying to help someone who is in pain or who's having trouble not being overwhelmed by some awareness of their body. Why does it matter that the brain is making multiple maps of the body, of sensation, of how emotion projects onto that landscape? Why does it matter? To know about this well, number one, because the brain is making multiple simultaneous maps of the body, we k...
Shaping the Kinesphere

Let's explore the concept of 'kinesphere' from the somatic movement world, and its neuroscientific counterpart, peripersonal space. Here's a recent excerpt from my ongoing collaboration with Ben Korta. Many times per second, our brains catalogue incoming stimuli future/present/past within a malleable spatial bubble that influences our sense of self. The boundaries of this bubble modulate the in...

SOAP Charting is ruining our professional relationships

Hot take! Your charting is resting on a false dichotomy, and it is muddling how we navigate our therapeutic communication. There is a huge and crucial frame of reference that we are not used to recording, and that is the 'Practitioner Subjective'.

Music is embodied because it evolved along with the human body.
Просмотров 300Год назад
A classroom clip on music's evolutionary and deep cultural origins. The idea here is that what we call 'music making' is actually part of a larger set of relational activities that get our bodies in sync, that help us coordinate activity and co-regulate our nervous systems. In that lens, it's a shame that music training can be seen as separate from other embodied practices. Shouldn't every teac...

    Thank you very much for this video. I'm glad to learn about the bracho plexus. I understood a lot but not everything. Can you possibly make suggestions for what to look into/at? There isn't inflammation in my arms, but there is in my hands, as well as the fingers no longer close to make fists. I see a NUCCA Chiro, working to realign C1 and C2. But they have no idea why the hands are inflamed and knuckles blocked. It's not rheumatoid arthritis and there's very little regular arthritis in my hands. I do have pain in bracho plexus one side. Thank you

    Thanks for your video. Finally someone who actually understands and explains it. I'm 4 months in and I've had multiple scans, multiple hospital visits and everyone keeps telling me to check my mental health. I finally had a neurosurgeon confirm the diagnosis after explaining the symptoms and the events prior to. The only help I can get is from a very experienced Osteopath who has worked on my dura and calming my nervous system. I had 3 months of intense inflammation, anxiety, headaches, loss of concentration/focus, eyesight and vocal was effected as well as eating. Still get sensations at the base of the skull and mainly on the right side of my neck and throat. My body is also slowly peeling itself back from absolute stiffness as I've been stuck for 3 months. There is also a choking feeling and straining that still occurs as I continue to do daily tasks. Bending and sitting are still a challenge but getting better. Hoping it won't be a long term disability but trying to remain positive. Thank you for explaining it to a T! I can't thank you enough.

    I had a concussion followed by a chiro aggressive manipulation to the back of my head 5 years ago. Two head impact injuries. I’m bedridden 38 therapists 23 doctors can’t help me. 8 MRIs and multiple other things. Two therapists told me my dura is twisted neither have helped me. The pull and muscle spasms are so intense I can’t function which runs midline right back to front torso to head and culminates into the right side Atlanto occipital joint. The worst is the pressure at the base of skull and at the sternum which feels like it will squeeze the life out of me. If the body heals itself mine hasn’t. If no one can help me I’m leaving this body. I can’t understand why not one person knows how to relax that dura

      Gosh you say "The pull and muscle spasms are so intense" you can't function, and the pull/spasms run "midline right back to front torso to head and culminates into the right side Atlanto occipital joint. The worst is the pressure at the base of skull and at the STERNUM". I have a similar WIDE spread of pull and muscle spasms, although mine is on the LEFT side, and somewhat different pattern. I've had this going on for 24 years since a neck injury, and long diagnosed with 'Cervical Dystonia', though that didn't anywhere near cover all that was going on. Anyway, what struck me about your comment is when you said it's worst at the Atlanto occipital joint/base of skull and STERNUM. It's a long way from the atlanto-axial joint to the sternum! Not to mention one structure is at the back, the other at front. Yet it's the SAME WITH ME. I have had constant deep soreness at the base of my sternum (xiphoid region) AND at the base of my skull on the left side. There's a taut muscle band runs from occipital region to my left upper trapezius. If I try to flex my head (chin to chest) against the line of pull, it literally feels like my brain is being pulled out. If the area either side of my sternum gets accidentally pressed it triggers eyewatering burning pain that can last for 10-20 mins. I consider the sternum pain related to my neck injury as it all started at the same time, yet no doctor has made a connection. I understand what you mean by 'leaving this body'. The urge to abandon it. I felt the same, still do some days, but I'm still here 24 years later. I'm not bedridden, but have to lie down every couple of hours. Over the years I've developed all manner of strategies, little things I do that give me a measure of relief or bring joy or capture my interest. Things that when they were first suggested made me feel like shouting 'Are you crazy? That won't begin to touch this! I'll never be the same again!' Then I accepted that I would never be the same again. I started to experiment with things that might give me some relief. Even transient 5-10% relief kept me going. In the early days I juggled work and raising two children with it, but the whole time in the back of my mind was wanting to study and learn as much as I could to understand what is going on with my body. I've seen a huge expansion of knowledge across two decades. The discovery of the myodural bridges last decade springs to mind, then last year the SCAN (Somatosensory Cognitive Action Network), which requires the rewriting of 90 year old neurology textbooks. I stay to see what happens next :-) That dura is incredibly tough stuff - like teflon. A small piece of it can hold 50lb or more. It's also innervated. I reckon the dura is the stuff that gives us 'joy of movement', and equally so, 'despair of movement' when it's twisted, adhered, deformed, out of position. And yes I think 'yanking' on it can inflame and tear it, whilst failing to free it, which is why I don't do 'aggressive' chiro. Poor posture alone can cause havoc and well, muscle spasms pull it out of position too. For this reason I do gentle stretching every day to try to keep everything in place and gliding freely. But I can't sort my neck and upper body out once and for all, no matter what I do, and slowly it pulls me back to twisted and jerking. Vibration Therapy and Whole Body Dance therapy gives me the greatest relief at this point, but alas temporary. The fascial system has been shamefully ignored by medical science for nearly a century, but the tide is turning. There should be a global repository study group devoted to cases like ours - especially the atlantoaxial / sternum connection. Would speed us to the next discovery I reckon. I will post my story here at some point as this doctor seems leaps and bounds ahead. Bit exhausted to do so right now. Wishing you strength fellow sufferer
