| Video Discription | https://dynamiccontractiontechnique.com I wanted to talk to you about something I call a downward health spiral and an upward health spiral. It's an analogy I use to help people understand how the different tensions that form in our body create either a downward spiral where you get worse and worse or if you do DCT and you do your protocols and maintenance resistance stretching work properly - you can actually create an upward health spiral where you keep getting better and better. Basically, if you understand that as we get tight in our bodies you get tight globally, which is the fascia-wetsuit analogy that I use all the time. Our tissues can be become restricted from being sedentary in positions, from doing repetitive motions through small ranges of motion, and your literal shell, your fascia, the connective tissue, scar tissue, everything will shorten to meet where your posture is for the majority of your days. When that happens, that leads to muscle tension forming locally at the joints. If my wetsuit only lets me straighten my arm to half-bent, then my muscles are going to adaptively shorten and get tight through a very small range of motion until even if the wetsuit becomes longer, I can still only move that far because my muscles are now short, tight and restricted. The point being that if it's fascia or muscle, it doesn't matter which tissue gets tight, one leads to the other. Both lead to less movement, which then again leads to the circumstances that cause more fascial or muscle tension to form. It's like you're walking down a staircase, getting less and less healthy because everything that's getting tighter and not working properly keeps limiting your ability to do things that would reverse the problem. At the end of that health, spiral is a situation where you have a traumatic injury or a situation where you rupture a disc or have a severe health problem that then has to be handled medically, and that's exactly what we're trying to avoid. With DCT, the first step is to stop walking down the stairs. We assess where you're at and we say, "Okay, what's working well and what's not? Are you restricted in your fascia/wetsuit, or is it coming mainly from joint dysfunction due to local tension in the muscles?" We decide, we actually figure that out together, and then we address the first system of tension that needs the most help. Let's say it's the wetsuit. By opening up your wetsuit and giving you that freedom to move better in space because you're not being held down by your fascia, that ability to move through bigger ranges of motion is going to help you avoid tightening the muscles in inappropriate ranges of motion, which is then going to allow you to do certain activities that promote healthy movement as well. So you stop the downward progression. Then, once we've started to resolve that one area, the wetsuit, the fascia, we start working on the muscle tension per se. Or vice versa, but by fixing local muscle tension, we make the joints function better and through bigger ranges of motion with full contractibility. So now all of a sudden you have stronger muscles that can get longer and shorter, which now let you do activities you haven't been able to do like run, hike, jog, yoga, all these different activities that promote healthy and functional movement. You start doing things in a way that one activity reinforces health to the next system until all of a sudden you're walking up the staircase and you reach a point of balance, of homeostasis, where you're just straight healthy. But what's really cool about DCT and about everybody who gets involved with DCT is that once we get you healthy, no one ever, ever wants to stop because you realize that the human potential is far greater than just being comfortable and healthy in your body; that you can actually feel extraordinary in your body, every single day. We will promote, encourage and teach you how to do this for yourself or how to create relationships in your life with people who would like to learn and train to participate in partner-assisted stretching. You are absolutely not bound to a DCT practitioner for your wellness and wellbeing. That's the entire point behind the DCT online courses and the way that we educate you. We want you to understand exactly how you got into the situation you did, whether it was an injury or just straight sedentarism, whatever. Then once you understand that, we want you to understand the mechanisms that are going to get you out of that, then how to maintain healthy functional behaviors, and then how to optimize performance and become the best version of yourself possible.
