Clinical tip-the “white stuff” in the body is holds far more innervation.
Meaning if you want to speak with the nervous system-this is the key.
Focusing on that over red (muscle) will get you further faster when:
-you want to reduce pain
-you want to alter muscle tone
-want to manipulate inflammation
-want to increase blood flow
and
-when you want to calm the nervous system
Keep in mind-the periosteum is white too and is the MOST innervated tissue in your body.
