🔬This is what your skin “feels” like from the inside out…
What you’re seeing in these incredible images is Sihler’s staining - a technique that renders muscle transparent and stains nerves, revealing the web of sensory nerves just beneath the skin.
This is isn’t just anatomy. It’s the living map of sensation - the delicate highways your body uses to detect touch, temperature, pressure, and pain.
🧠These nerves don’t just “send messages to the brain”.
They modulate your sense of self, influence movement, posture, emotional state, and even organ function.
Look closely at how complex the patterns are. These aren’t motor nerves controlling big muscles - they’re cutaneous nerves, weaving through layers of fascia and soft tissue, often branching in ways that are unique to each person.
In my practice, these nerves are not just something to avoid. They’re central to treatment.
I work with them through precise techniques that restore mobility, reduce entrapment, and change how your nervous system processes threat and touch.
The pain you feel in your muscles and joints is most commonly found in the tension and compression of these tiny neural threads.
⚡️You don’t need deep pressure. You need deep understanding.
📍If you’re struggling with persistent pain, numbness, or unexplained tension, DM me to learn how I work with the cutaneous nervous system.
