YOUR STRUCTURE INFLUENCES YOUR HEALTH!

Seriously. The body is SO MIRACULOUS! Your physical structure determines your internal health. That’s right. Go home and apologize to your parents for all the times you scoffed at their “sit up” comments.

Essentially all organisms from bacteria to humans are mechanosensitive (sensitive to mechanical forces). The way your body is balanced, the posture you’re holding, can affect the amount of stress placed on your cells. Physical forces regulate a large array of physiological processes, from bones to muscles to EVERY CELL. Too much stress can disrupt the communication of cells and contribute to major diseases.

Bone is shaped by forces from gravity and muscle contraction.
Hearing and touch are based on neural responses to pressure.
Inflation and deflation of the lungs regulate their physiology.
Asthma, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, and stroke are now being linked to aberrant cell transmission!

MECHANOSENSITIVITY IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER APPEARS TO BE A PROPERTY SHARED BY ALL CELLS OF THE BODY AND BY ALL THINGS FROM MAMMALS TO BACTERIA!

STRUCTURAL HEALTH CAN BE DEFINED AS A STATE WHERE EACH CELL OF THE BODY LIVES IN ITS IDEAL MECHANICAL ENVIRONMENT.

IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED THAT TENSION IS TRANSMITTED FROM THE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX THROUGH THE CYTOSKELETON TO THE NUCLEUS, AND DEFORMATION OF THE NUCLEUS MEDIATES CHANGES IN GENE EXPRESSION.

STRUCTURE = FUNCTION = QUALITY OF LIFE

Emotional intelligence, intellectual intelligence are becoming increasingly familiar phrases. It’s time an understanding of the importance of spacial and kinesthetic intellegence becomes a means towards wellness. Spacial medicine is the practice of using how the body is arranged [muscles, fascia, bone] to augment cellular and molecular process in a direction helpful to healing and efficient performance.

TRUE HUMAN INTELLIGENCE WILL NOT BE ATTAINED BY TRANSCENDING THE PHYSICAL SELF, RATHER THROUGH OUR FULL PARTICIPATION, OUR FULL EMBODIMENT OF OUR MARVELOUS PHYSICALITY -TOM MYERS
