Fascia and Physical Reality: Sensory Integration, Pleasure, Pain and Psychology
Here we take our lead from Ida Rolf and discuss the far reaching ways that fascial tension and rupture can impact the architecture of the rest of the body. We discuss the ways in which botanical medicine, nutrition, and specific movement can impact the fascial system in pain syndromes like fibromyalgia, CRPS and arthritis. Specifically, we talk about the botanicals Polygonatum (Solomon’s seal), Urtica (Nettles), Asparagus (Satavari), Cissus quadrangularis, Piscidia, Albizia, Equisetum, Hemidesmus, Zanthoxylum, Phytolacca and Ashwagandha as well as oleoresinous plants like Curcuma, Zingiber, Alpinia, Larrea, and Boswellia. We will also address Nutritional and Physical exercise options for patients with chronic pain syndromes within a backdrop of the myriad ways that our everyday experience of life leads to our everyday sense of purpose, meaning and contextualization of life’s events.
