Psychic Connection FASCIA - Mike

[Guest guest]

WoW!

I just got caught up on the email re psychic connections and am so interested.

I have had the same sort of stuff that all of you have been talking about in

varying degrees plus the " weird " feelings about events and people (including

football games and politics-woo hoo!) that my mom and grandmother and great,

great aunt, " crazy Gert " had. My suspicion is that side of my family is where

the EDS came down to me. You should have felt my grandmothers skin. Like

nothing I have ever felt before ... mine is soft but hers was simply textbook

with

definitions like a baby's butt, even on her knees and she NEVER used a lick

of lotion her whole life!

Anyway... I have a question about this Fascia that is being discussed. I am

not sure what my doc called it now but fascia is sounding pretty close. Let

me set some background first. I have a real problem with balance and depth

perception. Have run into walls and missed steps on staircases all my life (no

snickers from the peanut gallery out there!). He explained to me that there is

something in our joints (maybe he said the knees? not sure think it was all

joints) anyway this something keeps us in balance with the space around us...

This stuff keeps us mindful of others and stuff in our immediate space so we

DON'T bump into and fall over and trip all the time. Mine is either stretched

out or gone from joint wear and always been stretchy so that is why I fall and

bump into stuff a lot.

Now, not sure it was Fascia that he called it... But if it is .....Could this

be why as kids we are not too coordinated? The loose cartilage or

incorrectly designed cartilage of the fascia inhibits the normal stabilization

and

awareness of our " space " ?

I am interested to hear what you have to say Mike and any others that may

have this clinical information.

**** I am always looking for another technical reason I can forever remove

" klutz " from my middle name!

PS...

It was HOT here yesterday and today. Up to 92 degrees in the hills where I

live.

What he was referring to is called propriocepton. The definition

is " sensory receptors that detect joint and muscle activity. " (I am

quoting from Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage.)

" Proprioceptors provide the body with information about position,

movement, muscle tension, joint activity, and equilibrium. The

three main types of proprioceptors are muscle spindles, tendon

organs, and joint kinesthetic receptors.

- Muscle spindles are found primarily in the belly of the muscle;

they respond to both sudden and prolonged stretches.

- Tendon organs are found in the tendon and musculotendinous

junction; they respond to tension at the tendon, Articular

(joint) ligaments, which contain receptors similar to tendon

organs, adjust reflex inhibition of the adjacent muscle when

excessive strain is placed on the joints.

- Joint kinesthetic receptors are found in the capsules of joints;

they respond to pressure and to acceleration and deceleration of

joint movement. "

Proprioceptors are all over the body, but some of the main

concentrations are in the ankles and knees.

To the extent that the proprioceptors are contained in the tendons

and cartilage (by definition both are connective tissue), stretchy

ligaments, cartilage, etc most definitely could screw up your sense

of balance. Probably faster than that " nipping flask " the peanut

gallery was about to accuse you of ...
