Fight-or-flight chemical prepares cells to shift the brain from subdued to alert state
Johns Hopkins MedicineCurriculums:
Brain cells, called astrocytes because of their star-shaped appearance, can monitor and respond to nearby neural activity, but only after being activated by the fight-or-flight chemical norepinephrine. Because astrocytes can alter the activity of neurons, the findings suggest that astrocytes may help control the brain’s ability to focus.

Fascial plasticity – a new neurobiological explanation: Part 1 and Part 2
Robert SchleipCurriculums:
Fascia – what a fascinating tissue!
Also known as dense irregularconnective tissue, this tissue surrounds and connects every muscle, even the tiniest myofibril, and every single organ of the body.
It forms a true continuity throughout our whole body. Fascia has been shown to be an important element in our posture and movement organization. It is often referred to as our organ of form (Varela & Frenk 1987, Garfin et al.1981). Many approaches to manual therapy focus their treatment on the fascia. They claim to alter either thedensity, tonus, viscosity or arrangement of fascia through the application of manual pressure.

CranioSacral Work Distinguishing between techniques and therapy
Robyn Scherr, CMT, CST-DCurriculums:
I’m inspired every day by what the Upledger Institute calls “the power of a gentle touch.” Moving my practice from a “doing to” approach to CST’s “supporting and being with” approach empowers my clients in ways traditional manual therapies simply aren’t set up to do. I find this process-oriented work to be extremely effective and efficient. But both ways of working are needed in the world. m&b
