PELVIS TENSEGRITY The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bony complex in the human body. The pelvis and sacrum are linked via strong ligaments and ...muscles, creating a tension system that works with the compression-bearing bones to create a local tensegrity system. These ligaments are visualized in picture 2, they include the posterior SI ligaments (Iliotransversosacral, Axile, Zaglas, Bichat), Anterior SI ligaments, the iliolumbar ligaments and the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous. Locally, these ligaments need to have balanced tension to maintain SI joint integrity and normal bone positions in space. If one of these ligaments is injured and loses its optimal tension/quality, disruption of the tensegrity balance ensues. This leads to increased compression stress in the pelvis/SI and hip joints, but also leads to distortion of the GLOBAL tensegrity of the body. For example, in picture one, we see a normal, balanced pelvis icosahedron on the left with the horizontal balance beams through L4 and the greater trochanter did the femurs. On the right, we see the consequence of any injury to the right SI joint/ligament complex. This leads to pelvic and sacral shifting, unleveling of L3 (blue dot) and functional scoliosis, anterior-inferior shift of the left ilium, valgus stress in the left knee, and pronation stress in the left foot-ankle. The white arrow represents the downward compressive force of gravity. If the tensegrity is balanced, the body can adequately resist gravity without breakdown. Disruption of this tensegrity system is the source of joint degeneration and pain, all results of decreased space/compression in the joints. This is but one example of how loss of connective tissue tension/quality leads to compression stresses as well as local and global distortions of the tensegrity system. In biotensegrity, micro affects macro, local affects global. See the writings of Dr. S. Levin.

Gluteus Medius (GMed) is typically recognized for its action an an abductor of the hip joint. However, in closed-chain scenarios, GMed also h...elps control the proximal lower quarter, including the pelvis, spine and knee. Because GMed is a hip abductor and operates in the frontal plane of motion, it is also intimately involved in controlling other aspects of the kinetic chain that move in the frontal plane. For instance, a lack of GMed control can contribute to not only medial knee collapse (hip adduction), but also to contralateral pelvic drop (shown in this image) and lateral bending of the trunk. A lack of control at the hip, pelvis or trunk could be associated with the development of knee, hip or lumbar region pain or, depending on the activity, increase one’s risk of suffering certain injuries like ACL and MCL tears. Tomorrow’s post will show a variety of exercises that can be done to train GMed and the other hip abductors.

Merry Christmas Everyone. Here’s to a safe, happy and healthy holiday season

We did it! Legislation was introduced today by the Saskatchewan Government to regulate massage therapy in our province! MTAS has been advocating for legislation... to protect the integrity of our industry and the public since 1995! Saskatchewan will be joining five other provinces as a member of the Federation of Massage Therapy Regulatory Authorities of Canada to promote consistency and excellence in massage therapy across Canada. There is still a ways to go as we consult on the specific regulations and processes. But the news is an historic step forward and exciting news for members and the entire public! More to come :).

As per provincial guidelines effective tomorrow November 6th. A mask must be worn during your entire treatment. Please don’t forget your mask, if you do forget your mask, a single use disposable mask will be provided for you . Stay safe everyone

When the fibers become dehydrated, they start to stick to each other.

As it work to restore stability, it can even attach to nearby structures. The fascia also thickens where the body is repeatedly overused (such as when we're texting, driving, sitting, etc. or where there are patterns of holding (tight throat, hunched shoulders, clenched buttocks), forming bundles much like unstirred spaghetti in a pot of boiling water.

Absolute beautiful imagery used to understand the complex nature of our fascial system

With opening tomorrow, and one final piece of prepping to be finished. I brought in the team at A&C Detailing to completely sanitize the office before re-opening. I can’t thank them enough for coming by the office today! Fast, friendly and amazing service

Bringing it back to self care ... Headaches. Hi Everyone, this video is in response to some inquiries we have been getting from previous patients and SES partic...ipants that have been reaching out and requesting guidance on treating this label at home. This time of the year, always brings about an increase of patients looking for some type of instant relief from head pressure and pain that they are experiencing. They attribute their issues to seasonal changes like increased pollen in the air, increased heat, and even barometric changes. They describe their headaches as seasonal sinus and allergy related. Currently, more of us have been home, spending more time on our devices for work, socializing and just searching the web. Now we are hearing about new labels like, "Zoom fatigue" or " Skype syndrome" We have to remind our patients that the symptoms they experience are due to fascial restrictions that reside somewhere/anywhere within their full body fascial web. It may be 1 restriction or a combination of accumulated restrictions that are causing their body to react to these external stimuli and bring about the sensations that end up being labeled headaches. So, the most optimal way to treat a full body glide system is to treat the entire body. We tell them that symptoms may be felt in one place in the body, but the source of the problem usually resides somewhere else. Symptomatic care, may provide temporary relief, but a full body approach is going to offer more relief and a better opportunity for lasting change. So, we share with them a combination of regional and global techniques that John F Barnes has taught us at various seminars and also shares with Skills Enhancement Seminars participants (SES) and patients when he is treating at one of his treatment centers. Unless, we can put our hands on their bodies and feel where their fascia is holding, our self-treatment suggestions are just that, educated suggestions based on reported symptoms. So we tell them, for the immediate time frame, try the techniques and see what you experience. When the patient can get themselves to an experienced John F Barnes Myofascial Therapist for some treatment, they can continue the process with hands on care. Due to some technical difficulties that occurred when recording this video, it ended up in becoming 2 videos. So, after the first video is done, just click on the second video to continue. Second video is brief. If you want to pause the video after each demonstration and refamiliarize yourself with these treatments, do that and see how this self-care combo resonates with your body. If you feel that you want to share this post with others, do that too. Remember, to get the maximal benefit, follow the releases for 5-7 minutes. Let us know what you think and share any myofascial release tips you have with this group. We all want to learn more to help others and ourselves. Hope you find this helpful. Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day

Great read and some ideas for being more aware during a pandemic

***COVID-19 UPDATE*** As of the provincial release today, Registered Massage Therapy can begin to resume beginning May 19th! I will be adjusting my online availability today to reflect the changes. Of course please be advised this will be happening if, we as a province continue to do everything we can to slow the curve For the first while, MFRYXE will be going to reduced hours and I will be spacing out appointments more so to ensure proper cleansing and disinfecting of all services before the next client arrives. Please continue to stay safe and healthy and we are looking forward to seeing everyone beginning the week of May 19th
